Wayside Inn Foundation
| About us | The Wayside Inn Foundation is a nonprofit charitable Massachusetts corporation created in 1944 to own, operate, and maintain the Wayside Inn Historic Site, a campus of nine historic buildings and over 100 pastoral acres. Serving local communities as well as visitors from around the world, the site provides a unique, tranquil and historic setting rooted in colonial American traditions for family and friends of all generations to make lasting memories. The site provides an opportunity for visitors from near and far to gather, engage, and find meaning, relevance, and inspiration through a place-based exploration of history. |

TWIF's Intro to Foraging Workshop was instructive and fun, thanks to @Karenskindredspirit and a great group of naturing-loving attendees. After seeking edible plants around the Grist Mill we learned to make garlic mustard pesto. A beautiful day outdoors and in at The Wayside Inn!
Our new exhibit, "Beyond the Bell: The Life and Legend of Jerusha Howe," is now open in the Museum Gallery on the 2nd floor of Longfellow's Wayside Inn! To learn more, check out our Digital Exhibition Guide:

Today we commemorate the life of #MartinLutherKing. While we are not aware of any visits by King to The Wayside Inn, he once referenced the work of our Inn’s namesake, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in a speech. To learn more: https://www.facebook.com/LongfellowsWaysideInn/posts/10159551030549174
