- Friday, Sept. 7. The Council on Aging will take a guided tour of “Ansel Adams—at the Water’s Edge” at the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem. His photographs of beaches, bays, tidal pools, clouds, and waterfalls create a body of work that is steely and muscular, full of energy and dynamism. The group will also have access to the entire museum for a total cost of $25. The trip will leave Hildreth House at 9 a.m., will have lunch following the tour, and should be back by 3 p.m.
- Thursday, Sept. 20. It’s “Massachusetts Day” at the Big E., the Eastern States Exposition.

The group will leave Hildreth House at 8 a.m., and the cost for the admission and van is $25. We will leave the Big E at 3 p.m.
