Becket’s year-round population swells as hundreds of urban and suburban dwellers who own or rent vacation homes arrive in town. Despite what we may think, this is not a 21st century phenomenon. On June 11, 1878, the Hinsdale Cornet Band paraded merrily down Becket’s main street playing popular music
The Becket Cultural Council awarded over $10,000 in grants to support local arts, humanities, and science events. Sixteen grants were allocated, benefiting various programs based on community feedback, emphasizing music, educational activities, and children’s programs.
