ESL Field Trip to the Somerville Museum

On July 7, the ESL program took a field trip to the Somerville Museum. We saw 2 exhibits, Firehouse Reels: 40 Years of SCATV and Space Invader.

This was the first in-person meeting we've had in over 2 years and our first field trip in over 3 years. Thank you to the Somerville Museum for hosting us!
