Learn about the long-defunct Central Massachusetts Railroad at this program co-sponsored with the Lunenburg Public Library.  Our featured speaker, Mr. Ed Sterling, has been researching the history of this railroad for nearly 20 years and has acquired an extensive library of books and photos on the Boston and Maine Railroad, which operated the Central Mass Railroad for most of its history.

Whalom's puppets reappear!  They have lived at the Lunenburg Historical Society for many years and are being reintroduced by Mr. Jeffrey Koslik, proprietor of Lunenburg's Drawbridge Puppet Theater.

The Runaway Fried Dough Man was first commissioned by Whalom Park for one of its summer seasons in the late 1990s. It's a humorous take on The Runaway Gingerbread Man, substituting the Fried Dough Man as the title character due to the popularity of the park's fried dough concession stand. Its colorful cast also features the original hand puppet versions of the park’s three animal mascots: Silly Savage, Super Chick & Simon Loony Bear.

A second hand puppet show, The Princess and the Pea, will also be shown. Bring the kids and grandkids to enjoy this presentation!
