Sheep Shearing and Opening Day of Vintage Base Ball
June 5, 2022 @ 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Take a step back in time and enjoy a spring day on the farm. Watch a live sheep shearing demonstration at 11 am, and then cheer on the Lowell Nine vs. Newburyport Clamdiggers at noon.
The four teams of the Essex Base Ball Association play using 1864 rules. At these fun, historically accurate games, gloves are not allowed, players pitch underhand, and a ball bounced once and caught is an out.
Grass field seating; bring blankets and lawn chairs. No reserved seating; end times are approximate.
Game is weather permitting.
Historic New England members Free;
