Just like Duke Ellington said, "if it sounds good and feels good, then it IS good". He probably wasn't talking about Jazz Jams at Dewey, but he may as well have been.

Join us at Dewey Hall on November 28th at 2pm with gardener and writer, Clark Lawrence, for a screening of a documentary about his traveling from Virginia to Italy to garden.

Additionally, he will discuss his two books, Small Plots and Holllington’s Florilegium, which will also be for sale.

Read more in this article from The Berkshire Edge.

For more details or to reserve your spot, please visit our website.

Gardener and writer Clark Lawrence is coming to Dewey Hall to screen a film about his garden in Italy and to share his adventures of going from Manassas, Virginia, to Italy, where he lives a life that feels like a re-gendered Italian reboot of “Eat, Pray, Love.”

Hysteria is a quick, compelling, rules-light social deduction game for 5-9 players. Trying to solve the mystery is about what you think you know and who you think you trust. The Dia de los Mu***os theme provides a compelling narrative for gamers of all ages.

🕳 Have you ever wondered why there are visible holes in the yellow pine floorboards of Dewey Hall?

🗼Do you know how many wagon loads of the ocean washed cobblestones were used to build the middle panel of the clocktower?

🕛 And speaking of clock tower, do you know why there isn't a clock?

All of the answers to these questions and more can be found in this article by the Berkshire Eagle highlighting some details from our recent structural report.
