If you pass by the Alexander Noble House this summer, you will hear some tunes coming from Noble Square. Not only is it a nostalgic pastime, but it showcases the richly rooted history of Fish Creek.
“This year is the 150th anniversary of the Alexander Noble House and to celebrate this, all season long we're going to have something that ties into celebrations,” said Laurie Buske, Director of the Gibraltar Historical Association.
Visitors can bring a chair or blanket on Tuesdays and find a spot in the square to listen to a variety of bands that will play on select dates. Buske called it the perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy the calming ambience of the outdoors.
The hum of music has ties back to the early 1900s when the Noble family would host musical entertainment for guests in their parlor.
“Ula, Noble's first daughter played the organ and that is still in the home,” Buske added, “so that's kind of how music is tied to the actual square.”
Along with the concerts, visitors can participate in free docent-led tours at 9a.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. For more information on the music line up or tours, visit the Gibraltar Historical Society website.
