The Tewksbury Historical Society invites the membership and the public to look back at Tewksbury, Massachusetts, America and the world from 1900-1930's. This look back will be held on May 19, 2010 at the Tewksbury Library starting at 6:30pm. "A Look Back to the 1920's" will be a two-part presentation presenting photographs of the 1920's. It will be followed by a second part featuring photographs of Tewksbury when it was the Carnation Capitol of the World. Tewksbury had trolley cars and trains. Tewksbury had gaslights, disasters, and our students went to high school in Lowell. Farming was the leading industry and a State Hospital took the place of the Almshouse. It was an era of great change in Tewksbury. Audience members are invited to participate in a question and answer format. It is hoped that you may be a history detective and help further discover the historical facts behind the Tewksbury photographs. Admission is FREE to the public!

      The Society will be having a fundraiser to help build the Building Fund on June 24, 2010. Actress Judy Bernstein will present "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The White House". Ms. Bernstein presented a one-person play last year and is back by popular demand. He performance promises to be very entertaining and the proceeds go to the Society's Building Fund. This is the second performing arts fundraiser this year and both performances were presented in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Tewksbury Cultural Council. The performance will start at 7:00pm at the Tewksbury Senior Center on June 24th. The cost of tickets is $6.00 for Society Members and $8.00 for non-members. The public or Society members may make reservations by emailing Corresponding Secretary Sandra Mouser at tewksburyhistoricalsociety@msn.com. Provide us information on how many tickets you are requesting and whether you are a member or a non-member and we will have tickets for you at the "Call" table that evening.

      The entertainment will be superb, the Senior Center will be air-conditioned and the proceeds will go to finding a new home for the Historical Society.
