Reading, MA — Are you looking for a different way to spend Black Friday, something without malls, crowds, online shopping, or any expenditure? Do you want to impress your Thanksgiving guests with a cool, enlightening—and nearby—activity?
Then hop over to Reading’s own Parker Tavern (103 Washington Street) any time between noon and 3:00 p.m. on November 29 to enjoy a special tour. Adults will appreciate the Tavern’s interesting displays of daily life in a bygone era. Kids will wonder how children 300 years ago could have managed without cell phones, video games, cars, or bicycles. And how many items may be a mystery to both age groups? Come and test your knowledge. Not sure what something is? Questions are always welcome!
This is the perfect solution for what to do the day after Thanksgiving and a great chance for folks to travel back to a time not that distant from the first Thanksgiving.
This 1694 building is one of Reading’s oldest landmarks. The Reading Antiquarian Society owns and maintains it.
We invite you to drop by Parker Tavern on Friday, November 29, from noon to 3:00 p.m. to take a peek into the past.
