- Wednesday, May 23. Mount Auburn is first and foremost a cemetery, but it is also a National Historic Landmark, a botanical garden, an outdoor museum, and a habitat for urban wildlife. We will have a guided tour, then lunch in a Harvard Square restaurant. The cost for the van and tour is $20. We will leave Hildreth House at 8:30 a.m. and return by 3 p.m.
- Monday, June 18. Take me out to the ball game! The COA is going to LeLacheur Park to watch the Lowell Spinners’ opening night. The “Spinners Party Pack” includes box seats behind home plate, a hot dog, ice cream, beverage, game program, and wait service during the game. The group departs at 4:30 p.m. to allow for time for a meal at the Lowell Beer Works or at the stadium. Estimated return time is 10:30 p.m. Cost is $20.
- Monday, July 2. The Tall Ships are coming to Boston to meet with the U.S.S. Constitution, “Old Ironsides,” and celebrate the U.S. Navy’s exploits in the War of 1812. The Council on Aging will cruise the harbor for a 90-minute narration describing the Tall Ships visiting Boston and other details of the event. The group will have lunch on the waterfront and still have time to visit Quincy Market or just peruse the scenery. This trip leaves Hildreth House at 8 a.m. and returns by 4 p.m. The cruise costs $45, due upon reservation.
