Bay Farm Montessori Academy Visits the Robbins Museum
Forty eager students from the First, Second and Third grade classes of the Bay Farm Montessori Academy in Duxbury toured the Robbins Museum with their teachers on March 7, 2007. One highlight of the visit was the opportunity to meet two Native American Chiefs from the Assonet and Mashpee Wampanoag bands, Chief Vernon Silent Drum Lopez and Chief Windsong Blake, who also were visiting the Museum. Photos of the school's visit are below.
