The Gaslight Tinkers
The Gaslight Tinkers's website
The Gaslight Tinkers' blend of global rhythms creates a joyously danceable sound around a core of traditional New England old time and celtic fiddle music, merging boundless positive energy with melody and song. Since its formation in 2012 the band has lit up the East Coast, the West Coast, and the Caribbean, headlining clubs, dances, and major festivals. Playing what The Valley Advocate describes as “Music that consistently fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns,” The Gaslight Tinkers’ shows are packed with delightful surprises, elated crowds, and exuberant musicianship. The sound and energy of I-Shea, Clara, Garrett, Elie, and Peter are universally irresistible.

Wendell Town Hall
Wendell Town Hall's website
In 1819 the Baptists built a church for themselves a half-mile east of the Common (present corner of Morse Village Road and New Salem Road). When the Congregational Meetinghouse was erected in 1846, the Baptists dismantled their church, moved all its parts up to the Common and rebuilt their old church where it stands today as Town Hall. That site was donated by a prominent Wendell Baptist, George B. Richardson, a chair-maker. He gave the site to his church with the proviso that if there should be no preaching at the church for 25 years, the land and the building would revert to him or his estate. This happened somewhere around the turn of the last century, and Selectman Charles Ballou bought it from Richardson's estate. In 1919, Ballou sold the old church to the Town of Wendell and it was converted into Town Hall.
