and how to generate interest in National Register  designation.

We hope to see you  in Grafton on September 18!

Directions to the Brigham Hill Community  Barn

Take the Mass. Pike to Exit 11 (Millbury, Rt. 122) and turn  right onto Rt.
122 South.  Proceed a little over 2 miles, during which  time Rt. 140 will
merge in from the left, and you will then pass under the  Mass Pike. At the
base of a down grade, look for Wheeler Road on the  right. If you reach the
Stop & Shop you have gone too far. Turn right on  Wheeler  Road. Follow
Wheeler Road up the hill until near the  point where it ends at North
Brigham Hill Rd. You will see the  farm on the left.
