Thornton W. Burgess Green Briar Nature Center

East Sandwich, MA

I can find a library anywhere! As I was on the hunt for the most beautiful hydrangeas I came across a place that was dedicated to a local author. His books and life were surrounded by storytelling and the environment. In 1976 a group of locals founded the center in his name. His most well known works was The Adventures of Peter Cottontail. There is a collection of his books here. There is also a gift shop crammed with books about the environment as well as locally produced jam. https://thorntonburgess.org/
