September 26, 2024: The Great Pumpkins Live from Naumkeag
Manage episode 442174667 series 3456018
Today on the Fabulous 413, we’re out experiencing the southern Berkshires at one of the prettiest locations around, nestled in 44 acres in Stockbridge Massachusetts, what once was a family home is now a location open to visitors and nature lovers through Spring Summer and Fall.
We’re broadcasting LIVE from the grounds of Naumkeag as they gear up for their Pumpkin Show which starts tomorrow.
We discover the gilded age history of the building and grounds with the mastermind behind both the location’s two signature events: Brian Cruey, and find out more about the Salem born entrepreneur and diplomat who made the estate his family’s part time home, how his daughter brought the grounds to their current splendor, as well as the ways the public can now enjoy the space.
We’ll also hear how the current staff at Naumkeag is partnering with local tribes to ensure that the much older story of the location’s land is preserved as well. Kendra Knisley, the new education manager for Trustees of Reservations, shows us how they’re working with Mission house to make sure the ongoing legacies of the indigenous peoples who lived there survive and continue.
Plus Amanda Duquette, senior engagement manager for the Berkshires and Mary Detloff, Director of Public Relations let us in on all the things you can do in the not spooky part of the year on the grounds, as well as at the other Trustees locations throughout the Berkshires and elsewhere!.
