Upton Community Center

The Upton Historical Society will present “Indigenous Past, Present, and Future”
on Friday, November 6, at 6:30 p.m. at the Upton Community Center. The program is free and open to the public. An American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter will be provided for Deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees.
The Upton Historical Society gratefully acknowledges the Upton Cultural Council
for its financial support, which helps make educational and cultural programs like this available to the community.
The evening will explore the history and continuing presence of Native Americans in Upton and Central Massachusetts, with a particular focus on the Nipmuc and Algonquin peoples. The program will look beyond the distant past to consider the enduring presence, experiences, traditions, and future of Indigenous communities in our region.
Featured speaker Brittney Peauwe Wunnepog Walley, a Nipmuc artist and historian, will share her perspective on Indigenous history and culture through the tradition of weaving. For Walley, weaving is more than an art form—it is an ontology, a living worldview that connects fiber arts with ancestors, the land, and future generations. Her twined baskets serve as powerful records of historical resilience, carrying stories of Indigenous survival and resistance in New England.
Through her artwork and storytelling, Walley offers an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the connections between Indigenous peoples, place, history, and cultural traditions—and to recognize the continuing presence and contributions of Indigenous communities today.
The Upton Historical Society invites residents and visitors to attend this special program, learn more about the Indigenous history of Upton and Central Massachusetts, and gain a deeper appreciation for the region's Indigenous heritage and living traditions.

The Upton Historical Society invites the community to explore Upton’s rich history at a free public program this December.
Upton Witness Houses — Saturday, December 5, at 2 p.m.
What stories could Upton’s oldest homes tell about the American Revolution? The Upton Historical Society will present a special program on Upton’s Witness Houses on Saturday, December 5, at 2 p.m. at the Upton Community Center.
Witness Houses are homes that stood during the American Revolution and remain standing today. The program will explore the history of these remarkable properties and their place in Upton’s past. Attendees will also have an opportunity to hear from current homeowners about what it is like to live in a home that has witnessed centuries of change.
The program has received special recognition. The Upton Historical Society has been chosen by the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor to receive this year’s John H. Chafee Leadership Award for its work on Upton Witness Houses. The Society is honored and grateful for this recognition, which celebrates its efforts to preserve and share the stories of Upton’s historic homes.
The program offers a unique opportunity to connect Upton’s Revolutionary-era history with the people who preserve and care for these historic homes today.
Everyone is welcome! Join the Upton Historical Society for this free public program and discover the stories, people, and places that make Upton’s history special. Bring a friend and enjoy an afternoon exploring our town’s fascinating past. We look forward to seeing you!
