Spring Festival and Town Wide Easter Egg Hunt
Saturday, May 2 | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Join us at the Museums at Aptucxet as we celebrate the arrival of spring! Our Spring Festival is part of the Town-Wide Character Easter Egg Hunt in partnership with the Bourne Youth Council, and we are excited to be one of the featured stops along the way.
As you make your way through the grounds, you’ll meet six festive characters stationed throughout the site. Each stop offers a fun photo opportunity and a chance for children to collect Easter eggs along the way. It’s a great way to explore the property while enjoying a little seasonal magic.
In addition to the hunt, families can enjoy:
- The Gift Shop, open for the season
- Windmill Vintage – newly re-stocked!
- The museum buildings, open for visitors
- Simple, hands-on kids activities
- Lunch from the grill, with hot dogs and sausages available for purchase
Bring the whole family, take a stroll through the grounds, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon at Aptucxet as we welcome spring together.
