MFS is shifting into Spring! That means moving displays & spars in the Freight Shed this morning and exploring 17th Century Foodways on Saturday (4/20). Join us: stop in until 1pm today to channel your spring energy into getting MFS ready to welcome visitors and offer a variety of programming. And, come by on Saturday for a unique perspective on history: demonstrations & displays run 9-noon in the boatyard, with a ticketed luncheon at 12:30 in the Freight Shed--only a very few tickets left as of Wednesday (4/17) morning. For details--and the last lunch tickets if you are lucky!--visit mfship.org/events. #springishere #shiftintospring #bathfreightshed #gettingready #nonprofitsmakecommunitiesbetter #volunteersmakeithappen #explorehistory #17thcenturyfoodways #handsonlearning #butterchurning #workingtogether #creatingcommunity #mainesfirstship #bathmaine #cityofships #historyingenuitycommunity
Put some "to do" in your Tuesday: MFS volunteers are prepping the Bath Freight Shed & the boatyard for upcoming events & seasonal visitors. It takes all kinds to meet the mission of MFS--members, donors, shipbuilders, board members, event planners, fundraisers--and, yes, folks to clean, shift displays, and rake the yard. Join the effort today until 1pm or tomorrow, Wednesday, 9am-1pm. Come on down & lend a hand!

If you can lend a hand in the Freight Shed or the boatyard this morning or Wednesday morning we would really appreciate your help. The sun is shining and things are blossoming in the park right outside the gate.
We have been there when we go to see my sister
It IS complicated & it’s a great bit of History to explore! Learn more this season at the Jane Steven Visitor & Learning Center. Also visit the Fort St George historic site maintained by Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry #pophamcolony #1607 #historyingenuitycommunity
River traffic Wednesday morning. This Tuesday & Wednesday the activity will be in the boatyard & in the Freight Shed as we do some Spring Cleaning. Come join us--many hands make light work! This is a good way to meet some MFS volunteers, hear some stories, and learn more about the project--as well as do good for the community. 9am-1pm April 16 & 17, possibly Thursday the 18th as well, if needed. Reach out to organizer Lori at lori-benson@usa.net to aid planning, or just stop in and roll up your sleeves! Thank you. #thinkspring #pitchin #timetotidy #manyhandsmakelightwork #springcleaning #bathfreightshed #seasonalshift #janestevensvisitorcenter #yardwork #summeriscoming #globalvolunteermonth2024 #bathmaine #cityofships #nonprofitsmakecommunitiesbetter #volunteersmakeithappen #thankyouforyoursupport #mainesfirstship #workingtogether #historyingenuitycommunity
Time travellers wanted! Take your place at the table for a 17th Century Lunch for a fraction of the cost of a flux capacitor (not to mention the DeLorean). Tickets are limited for this low-impact historical event. Join MFS and special guest Chef Sam Collins for a taste of history. Get your details and tickets mfship.org/17th-century-luncheon/

Bruce D. Suppes that would be "low-impact" time travel: very limited possibility of changing history and the re-entry should be fairly smooth. 😉
"low-impact" - would that be environmental or digestive?
Can attendees come early to watch and learn during the cooking/preparation?
Now that we have taken care of the business of the annual meeting, it is time to get down to the business of spring cleaning. Please join us Tuesday and/or Wednesday, April 16 & 17 as we shift to our summertime set-up, preparing to welcome visitors. We could use your help with cleaning, moving displays, taking inventory--and did we mention we had some storms?--we also need help with yardwork! Contact Lori Benson to join the effort: lori-benson@usa.net. Come on down to the Bath Freight Shed, roll up your sleeves, get to know some of our volunteers, and make a noticeable difference--so satisfying. 😁 We may work on Thursday, April 18 as well, if needed.
