ONGOING EXHIBIT: The Clinton Historical Society at the Holder Memorial will reopen for the season on Saturday, August 1, from 9 to noon with a special exhibit, "Workers of Wachusett". The exhibit has just arrived from the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum of Chestnut Hill, Mass, thanks to the cooperation of Executive Director Eric Peterson. The exhibit consists of about 15 poster-size images from the building of the Wachusett Dam at the turn of the last century. The photos will be on display every Saturday morning from 9 to noon through October. OUTSIDE PROGRAMS FOR THE FALL!
