SUMMARY:Family Explorer: Winter Wildlife Walk at Crane Beach
DESCRIPTION:A CraneExplorer Family Winter Wildlife Walk will take you on a stroll through the Crane Beach dunes while learning about some of the plants and animals that call this special place home. You may be familiar with Crane Beach\, but have you ever visited the dune trails? The dunes of Castle Neck are a much less explored world unto themselves. They offer one of the most accessible dune landscapes in New England and trails that provide a firsthand look into the delicate and ever-changing dune habitat. This includes numerous lookouts offering stunning views of Choate Island and the varied ecosystems of Castle Neck\, including Pitch Pine forests and naturally occurring cranberry bogs. \nThe Family Explorer hiking series will get you and your young explorers outside and moving at Trustees properties across the Northeast Region. These family-friendly hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look\, listen\, and learn from our Outdoor Guides. Some hikes will start with a story\, hands-on demonstration\, or explorers’ challenge to spark curiosity before hitting the trail. \nSign up for one\, or get a discount if you sign up for three or more in the series. Contact Craneoutdoors@thetrustees.org for discount code.

SUMMARY:Kids' Free Week: Self-Guided Tours
DESCRIPTION:Discover\, Explore\, and Learn at Hammond Castle Museum this February School Vacation Week! \nLet your child’s imagination soar and join us as we welcome school-age children to explore the home and innovative legacy of one of America’s most prolific inventors\, John Hays Hammond Jr. Dive into the world of science\, technology\, and creativity with self-guided tours that allow visitors to move through the Museum’s galleries at their own pace. \nPlease note: There are no tour admissions on the morning of Friday\, February 20th\, as we will be hosting an Arms & Armor program presented by our Curatorial Director\, John Leysath. \nLittle ones can embark on an animal-themed adventure designed to keep them engaged throughout the Museum. Older kids will love engaging with our digital panel featuring original games inspired by Hammond and his contemporaries’ groundbreaking innovations\, such as ‘Frequency Hoppers’\, which brings history and science to life in a fun and interactive way. Let them experiment with sound in the whispering gallery\, marvel at Hammond’s inventive spirit\, and explore the Museum’s unique passages and rooms showcasing a blend of science\, history\, and art. \nAs a repeated Reader’s Choice Best of North Shore winner by Northshore Magazine and a TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice award recipient for the last four consecutive years\, you can trust that your visit will be an unforgettable experience. As a STEAM organization (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Art\, and Mathematics)\, we also celebrate our role as a historic house museum and lapidarium\, emphasizing works of stone and marble in ways that set us apart. This fusion of disciplines makes Hammond Castle Museum a true New England treasure. \nAccessibility Note: Please be aware that at nearly a century old\, the Hammond Castle Museum is not handicapped accessible due to many difficult and winding stairs on the campus and within the Museum.

SUMMARY:Family Explorer: Winter on the Lake at Moraine Farm
DESCRIPTION:Hike along the shores of beautiful Wenham Lake on a glacial moraine and learn how this ridge formed thousands of years ago\, as glaciers melted\, scattering about rocks and sand to form the landscape we see today. Learn also about the importance of Wenham Lake as a water source\, both today\, and in years past when ice from the lake was shipped to England for Queen Victoria! This hike will start with an interactive timeline game\, and then head out on the trails to observe how human and natural activities have shaped the landscape over time. \nThe Family Explorer hiking series will get you and your young explorers outside and moving at Trustees properties across the Northeast Region. These family-friendly hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look\, listen\, and learn from our Outdoor Guides. Some hikes will start with a story\, hands-on demonstration\, or explorers’ challenge to spark curiosity before hitting the trail. \nSign up for one\, or get a discount if you sign up for three or more in the series.

Critics and fans alike marvel at her vocal range and control\, calling her a once-in-a-lifetime talent. “A talent that comes once in a lifetime\,” says Roberta Flack. “Like Haley’s Comet\, her brilliance is dazzling and brings light into the world.” \nA Grammy and Oscar-winning artist\, Fischer has spent more than four decades shaping the sound of popular music. Her soaring vocals carried her to the top of the R&B charts in 1991 with How Can I Ease the Pain\, earning her a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Yet much of her career was spent as the consummate collaborator\, lending her extraordinary voice to some of the world’s greatest performers. For over 25 years she toured with the Rolling Stones\, with Keith Richards marveling at her “amazing power\, energy\, and projection.” She has also performed alongside Luther Vandross\, Sting\, Tina Turner\, and Nine Inch Nails\, adding unmatched depth and texture to their sound. \nHer story reached a wider audience with the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom (2013)\, which spotlighted the lives and artistry of the world’s finest backup singers. The film became a turning point for Fischer\, inspiring her to step into the spotlight and chart her own creative journey. “The film gave me a chance to take stock and realize I could start defining my own path\,” she explains. \nSince then\, Fischer has embraced a new chapter as a fearless solo artist. With her adventurous band Grand Baton\, she has developed a dynamic repertoire that fuses Caribbean rhythms\, psychedelic soul\, and progressive jazz-rock\, often reimagining songs she once performed in support of other legends. She continues to stretch boundaries through wide-ranging collaborations—whether in intimate duo performances with jazz pianist Taylor Eigsti\, bringing gospel fire to Gullah-inspired group Ranky Tanky\, or creating luminous soundscapes in partnership with Alonzo King LINES Ballet. Each project reveals a different facet of her artistry while staying true to her deep musical soul. \nTo experience Lisa Fischer live is to embark on a journey through sound\, spirit\, and emotion. She doesn’t simply sing songs—she transforms them\, reshaping familiar melodies into something entirely new and unforgettable. With infinite textures and boundless imagination\, Lisa Fischer has secured her place among America’s greatest vocalists. Her performances are more than concerts; they are profound celebrations of music’s power to move\, uplift\, and inspire.
