Picnic-scapes: A celebration of picnicking!
2026-07-01 10:00 - 2026-07-31 15:00
During July — National Picnic Month — the Hearth Room at the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is home to a lighthearted exhibit of “Picnic-scapes”: creative interpretations of picnic scenes from the museum’s collection and local guest exhibitors.
The museum’s display, entitled “Doc & Marion on a Picnic,” features a picnic basket and picnic-related items from the Remick collection. Items in the exhibit belonged to the museum’s namesake country doctor, Dr. Edwin “Doc” C. Remick (1903-1993) and his wife, Marion Remick, née Miles (1906-1980). Visitors can learn what Doc Remick’s favorite picnic foods were, see the recipe for his favorite picnic cookie, and learn about sandwich trends from the 1950s. The modest living quarters the couple shared for 50 years, including the kitchen where Marion would have prepared their picnics, can also be visited (accessible by stairs only).
In addition, enlarged copies of summertime photos from the Remick collection are displayed on the walls. Visitors are encouraged to record their favorite picnicking spot, foods and memories at the “Food for Thought” table, and enjoy time at a picnic-themed coloring-page station.
This year’s local guest exhibitors include:
+ Arts Council of Tamworth
+ Barnstormers Theatre
+ Chocorua Lake Conservancy
+ Chocorua Public Library
+ Tamworth Community Nurse Association
+ Tamworth Parks and Recreation
Bring a picnic of your own to enjoy outdoors!

Visitor Picnicking Reflections from previous years…
“On Father’s Day and Mother’s Day this year, we went on a picnic to Fullersburg in Hinsdale, Illinois. They were beautiful days to sit outside. While we didn’t make our sandwiches, we bought them from a favorite local shop! It is a great memory!” ~ Jess Landis, Chicago, IL
“On the rocks in the river, by the cave in the falls. Scotch eggs are a favorite.” ~ Janine Bryant, Acton, ME
“I love picnics. My favorite foods and things are apples, grapes, bread and ramen. And my cat, Gohan.” ~ Fae, Maine (young visitor)
“Picnics with my birth families in the country where we picked raspberries, or by the lake so the children could play. Good food and good times with family. ~ Diane

Nature’s Harvest: The Art of Wildcrafting
2026-08-01 13:00 - 15:00
Embrace the nature of our cycles and seasons while discovering the art of creating wild, locally harvested tea for beverage and medicinal purposes. Identify familiar, local plants traditionally used for various teas, infusions, and decoctions. Learn the essence of the wildcrafter’s promise and code—emphasizing the principles of ethical and sustainable wildcrafting, vital to perpetuating the continued proliferation of healing plants into the future—an act of kindness, honor, gratitude, and respect to our plant families.
Learn the difference between lunar- and solar-infused teas. Unlock the secrets of wild herbs, medicine, and culinary accents used by wise healers centuries ago—traditional Indigenous healing practices and local folk remedies. Go underground and tap into ancient roots.
Wrapped within the stability of the fertile fields and woods around us, wildcrafting is a pathway to self-care. As the plants ripen and flowers boast their fragrant blossoms, awaken to the possibilities that lead to re-wilding: awareness and self-maturation, merging today’s energies with the ancient past. Reclaim a place in it.
We discuss activities in the field—preparation, drying, storing, crushing, when to use fresh or dry, and how these are accomplished. Know tools, guides, and apps for identification. Familiarity with plants is imperative to avoid dangerous look-a-likes. We will learn about endangered, threatened, or sensitive plants.
