TURNERS FALLS In honor of the 345th anniversary of the Great Falls Massacre, a Day of Remembrance gathering will be held at Peskeomskut Park on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3:30.
The event, intended to recognize the often untold story of the conflict of May 19, 1676 at the falls, is organized by the Nolumbeka Project. It has been held yearly since the town’s reconciliation ceremony in May of 2004, but was canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Nolumbeka Project Outreach Coordinator Diane Dix.
