    Grafton – On an unseasonably chilly May 13, another successful Grafton History Day and Plant Sale took place at Grafton Common. Co-sponsored by the Grafton Historical Society and the Grafton Garden Club, the annual five-hour event celebrates the town’s 1735 incorporation. Proceeds from the plant sales go toward scholarships.

    Festivities included live musical entertainment from the gazebo, displays of vintage vehicles and farming tools, basket weaving demonstrations, pony rides and a bake sale. Artifacts were displayed from the Grafton Historical Society Museum as well as the Massachusetts State Police Museum and Learning Center in Grafton. The Grafton Public Library provided a story walk around the common.

    For information about the historical society, visit www.graftonhistoricalsociety.org and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/graftonhistory; and for the garden club, visit www.graftongardenclub.org.
