At 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Friday, graduate fellow Eloise McFarlane ’24.5 will offer a guided tour of select works from the museum’s permanent collection.

Old Chapel Quad
Come learn alongside “scythe sisters” and competitive hand-mowing teachers Michaela Stickney ’84 and Danielle Rougeau. Connect with this ancient knowledge that will strengthen your core muscles and deepen your roots with the earth. It’s addictive—and a great approach to “re-wilding” habitats. Swing-snath, steel-sing, stone-hone, hammer-peen, and sip some switchel. Please sign up in advance at go/knollhours
