Outings on the Lawn







Resthaven's expansive lawns provide the perfect venue for outdoor gatherings of all kinds. For at least the past 100 years, family reunions, weddings, graduation ceremonies, and huge outings to which the entire community is invited have been accommmodated under the shade of the myriad century-old maples, catalpa, and horse chestnut trees which adorn the grounds. Above is a photo of the brochure for an outing described in the local paper at which the Upton Historical Society enjoyed lunch, music, and guided tours of the Nathan C. Aldrich House and Resthaven Chapel, all provided by Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Ashkins .
