Celebrate the holidays in the ENHA |

Sites all around the ENHA are preparing to celebrate
the holidays. Museums and historic homes are
dressing up for parties, galas and fundraisers, while
many farms are gearing up for their seasonal
business - selling holiday trees. Cut down your own
tree at Herrick Farm in Boxford, shop for
your tree, ornaments and gifts at Smolak Farms
in North Andover... and many more locations
throughout the region. A list of Holiday Tree Farms is
available on our website.

Praise for Trails & Sails |
 |
Trails & Sails saw record participation this
year, with 59 organizations providing 121
events to 3,000 attendees. In addition to the
beautiful weather, Trails & Sails benefited from 249
volunteers who contributed 1,161 hours of their time.
ENHC has received very positive feedback from all
involved. Participants called the
weekend "thoroughly enjoyable"
and "well planned." Of those surveyed, 72% were
exposed to historic and cultural resources that they
were not previously aware of, and 89% said that
they would return to those places. We are also
pleased to report that 97% of attendees said that
they will participate in Trails & Sails again next year.
