OK, We're officially thinking “fall”.  Though summer is being ushered out by the crisp mornings and cool nights of fall, we still have the gorgeous color of goldenrods and late blooming sunflowers to greet us on a misty September morning.

The vivid details of September 11, 2001, are memories woven into each of our lives forever. The 20th anniversary commemoration held at sites of destruction and loss will remind generations who visit the memorials, not only of the destruction and loss, but also of the bravery of first responders and the kindness of strangers and how we united as one on that day.

Communities across the land have developed traditions of commemoration as we all pause to remember those lost on 9/11. Flags fly, bells ring, trumpets and bagpipes sound out, and tears flow as thousands of victims' names are recalled each year.

The story of 48 flags has become New Hampshire’s unique observance of 9/11. READ STORY

Project Sunapee volunteers recently delivered “Welcome Baskets" to a dozen new residents. If you have a new neighbor, or are that new neighbor, please let us know at: welcome@projectsunapee.org. We’d like to say “Hello”.

This week’s music is dedicated to the resilience

and soul of the city of New York.

The bright lights of Broadway dimmed in September 2001 and again in response to the pandemic, but they will shine again!

and of course, the iconic “New York, New York” mix with Frank Sinatra and Liza Minelli."

September is the perfect time to visit the Fells, wander thru the outdoor Sculpture Garden and then enjoy the exhibits: at the galleries in the house.

After these past stressful months with our world turned upside down we find

that The Fells has offered a retreat, a place to come and experience the

peace and tranquility of the natural world. In these past months many

artists have found peace and tranquility painting in their studios or out in the landscape.

This show featuring selected artists who will share their

work and experiences over the past 14 months creating art that reflects the

peace and tranquility that they sought.

The Second Floor Gallery features the artists from the Art Cafe and their

work inspired by Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. His verse collection

was first published in 1855 and is considered a landmark in the history of

American Literature. These paintings, sculptures and collages are

creations reflecting a line taken from this noted collection.

Both Galleries are open during Main House hours and included with regular admission fee. info@thefells.org or call: 763.4789
