WEEKEND FUN: Historic Home Tour, Kid’s Clothes Swap, Free Comic Books, Mount Auburn Cemetery Walk

By |

Let’s start the weekend by saving money on children’s clothes. At the library on Friday afternoon there is a kid’s clothing swap. It’s good for the environment and your wallet, and there’s no need to worry about tariffs when buying used clothes! All day Saturday there will be a celebration going on at the Comic Stop, as they will be celebrating World Free Comic Book Day! It’s great fun for children and adults. Saturday afternoon, you can join a tour of Mount Auburn Cemetery. Even if you’ve been there before, taking a guided tour will teach you a lot about this beautiful place. There are a couple of Watertown Historical Society events this weekend. The Browne House, which is only open occasionally during the year, will be open for tours on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, the Historical Society will hold their year-in-review meeting and a talk about Cornelius Lenox, a Watertown Revolutionary War veteran. The history of Watertown is long and fascinating, and this weekend is a good one for connecting to our city’s past important residents.
