Today on #InternationalWomensDay we're remembering all the Pilgrim Mothers who dreamed of a better life in America. Especially local women Mary Brewster of Scrooby & Susanna White-Winslow (nee Jackson) of Sturton-le-Steeple.

We're thinking about everyone at Bassetlaw Council's #WhatNext22 event taking place in Retford today! If anyone is thinking about a career in heritage, our Engagement Officer wrote a guest blog last year - which might be of interest: historylair.com/2020/12/09/how…

Spring is coming to the Bassetlaw Museum garden! The sunshine is tempting visitors out to to explore the wetu, built by Wampanoag visitors last September. #WampanoagPerspective

It was lovely to welcome gardening club students from Sparken Hill Academy and present their #ThreeSistersPlantingCompPrize thus afternoon! They had time to listen to a few of William Brewster's stories while they were here. #LocalHistory

Spring in our garden.
