Tabor Academy, 242 Front, St.
Mark your calendar for the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Sippican Lands Trust members!Â
A meeting of SLT members followed by a screening of Sweet Freedom, a film that is deeply connected to the South Coast of Massachusetts, both in its story and its creation. Set in New Bedford during the Underground Railroad, the film tells the true story of local abolitionist Mary “Polly” Johnson. It was filmed entirely on location across the region—including New Bedford, Marion, Freetown, and Dartmouth. The film is written and directed by Alyssa Botelho, a South Coast native whose work highlights the area’s rich and often overlooked history.
In conjunction with the film's showing we will be hosting 2nd "Long Walk to Solomon's Cellar" event in August to a 19th century cellar hole that once was the home of Solomon Smith a formerly enslaved person.
Directions/Parking: Please park at 242 Front Street in Marion and follow SLT signs to the Stroud Academic Center (Please Note: Google maps does not give the correct address for the Stroud Academic Center so please use 242 Front St as reference).

Osprey MarshÂ
The early morning light in August is particularly special as the forest awakens – Come experience the special magic of a Summer Forest at Sunrise on a guided Forest Bathing Walk with certified guide, Diane Pienta.
More than just a walk in the woods, Forest Bathing is a slow, mindful practice that invites you to step away from daily stress, deepen your connection with the natural world and with yourself.
The walk follows a flat, 200-yard path through varied habitat, including boardwalks over damp areas. We’ll move slowly and pause along the way, so dress comfortably and bring a portable chair if preferred.
The walk will be rescheduled in case of heavy rain, so please ensure we have your contact information for updates.
Limited to 10 participants, so register soon to avoid disappointment! $10.
