Are you looking to start an adventure? Or would you rather dive into some local history — either way there’s plenty to do this week. 

Teens ages 12 to 16 can join the summer Dungeons and Dragons Club at the Middleboro Public Library from 6 to 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 26.

Participants will create characters and play with an experienced teen “dungeon master” who conducts the game.

On Tuesday, July 1, the Lakeville Council on Aging will host an Independence Day Celebration. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch will be served at noon. Food will include cheeseburgers, hot dogs, three-bean salad, potato salad, cupcakes and cookies.

Festive music from the Tri-County Symphonic Band will begin at 12:45 p.m. Indoor and outdoor games are available, depending on the weather. This is a free event, open to all older adults. 

Looking for some local history? Join the Historical Society for a presentation on the infamous 1959 manhunt for John and William Coyle, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25.

The program, “The Coyle Brothers Manhunt in Middleboro,” will be presented by Ben Carr. The presentation will detail the 1959 manhunt for John and William Coyle, two Pennsylvania men wanted for murder, and their connection to Middleboro.

The meeting is free and open to the public.
