From WickedLocal/Tewskbury:

The more traditional celebration of Charter Day on Dec. 4 will have an exhibit of wooden tools and furniture, a Power Point presentation on “Historic Trees” given by Historical Society President Dave Marcus, 1:30-2:30 p.m. The Powwow Oak (my bold) will be featured in this presentation along with Sycamore Hall, the Oaks, Pattenville, Pigeonville, and what a “windfall” meant in Colonial America. The Society Store will offer historic educational books, pictures of Tewksbury’s past, and an assortment of gifts perfect for stocking stuffers. 

The public is invited to attend the afternoon festivities and a free piece of birthday cake will be given out as long as the supplies last.
