4. Discover your inner leatherworker: The Leatherworkers Museum has a free arts and crafts session Tuesday (10 a.m.). You can learn some of Peabody's history while fashioning some leather crafts.
5. ConCom: The Conservation Commission will meet Wednesday night (7 p.m.) in the basement conference room at City Hall. Among the items on the agenda are a continued public hearing for Robert DeNisco's proposed redevelopment of the old L.

Other items include enforcement orders issued to three property owners with land abutting Goldthwaite and Proctor brooks. The city says large sections of the respective retaining walls have fallen into serious disrepair.
