History Underfoot III Tour The History Underfoot III Tour was a great success. The Fall River Garden Club, Fall River Historical Society and The Little Theatre of Fall River, Inc. did a wonderful job planning, organizing and executing the events of the day. We thank the organizers for inviting us to participate and to everyone who stopped by our booth to talk, donate and purchase calendars!

October 28 Artists and Fall River Natives Jim Charette and Mark Delisle present Boneyard, a series of paintings, prints, photography, music, video and more inspired by Oak Grove Cemetery. The gallery opening will be from 6-9PM on Wednesday, 10/28 at the Cherry & Webb Gallery, 139 South Main Street. Jim and Mark grew up on opposite ends of Oak Grove and attribute the formation of their life-long friendship to their old “stomping grounds”. As such, this cemetery holds a special meaning to both Jim and Mark.  Both artists have generously agreed to donate a portion of the profits from the sale of their artwork to the Friends of Oak Grove. Please mark your calendar and consider attending this event and support these two local artists.
