Upcoming Events
Celebrate Ashby Elementary School at the Open House Oct. 17th 10:00 – 1:00 at the Old Engine House & Library.
Join AHS staff to celebrate Ashby Elementary School and Ashby’s education history. Earlier this year AHS removed the class pictures on the hall walls of AES in order to preserve them as a small part of the record of AES. We now have them on display at the Old Engine House and the Library. These are the class photos from 2001 to 2025. Find the photos of your children or in some cases or yourself as each class metriculated from AES to the Hawthorn Brook.
The Society will also be holding a silent auction for a quilt generously donated by Katherine Stanwood. The auction will open through the open house and annual meeting on Oct. 22nd at 6:30 PM.
