SUMMARY:Postponed - Mary Lesneski Memorial Lecture and Reception
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \nArt and Reform: The Saturday Evening Girls\nThe Saturday Evening Girls take center stage at this year’s annual Mary Lesneski Memorial Lecture and Reception.  Young immigrant women\, living in the tenements of the North End in early 20th century Boston\, gathered weekly to create colorful and often lyrical ceramics under the enterprise Paul Revere Pottery.  The wares were sold to fund the young women’s informal education\, at a time when there was a void in social and educational opportunities for girls.  The pieces produced by Paul Revere Pottery are now extremely valuable and cherished by Museums and private collectors across the country.  Hear about the women who\, inspired by the patriot and entrepreneur\, took Paul Revere’s legend into their own hands – literally – and formed ceramic wares appreciated for posterity. \n  \nNonie Gadsden is the Katharine Lane Weems Senior Curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the Museum \nof Fine Arts\, Boston (MFA). She earned her B.A. from Yale College and her M.A. from the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture at the University of Delaware.

She is the author of books\, essays\, articles\, and book reviews including the monograph Art and Reform: Sara Galner\, the Saturday Evening Girls and the Paul Revere Pottery (2006).  She heads the Collections Committee of the Nichols House Museum on Boston’s Beacon Hill\, serves as a Governor for the Decorative Arts Trust\, and is a member of the Council of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts. \nThe lecture will be held in the Franklin Lyceum in the Rasmussen Education Center.  Reception to follow in Brooke Hall with an opportunity to visit Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere and His Ride with Concord Museum Curator\, David Wood. \n$10 Member | $15 Non-Member.

SUMMARY:Patriots' Day 2017
DESCRIPTION:Make the Concord Museum—a gateway to Concord’s history—part of your family’s 2017 Patriots’ Day tradition as we commemorate “the shot heard ‘round the world” with activities for visitors of all ages. \nExplore the Concord Museum’s outstanding collection of treasures from April\, 1775 including the famous “one\, if by land\, two\, if by sea” Revere lantern; a sword from one of the soldiers of the British 10th Regiment; the sword of Minuteman James Barrett; a pair of pistols belonging to Major John Buttrick\, the officer in the Concord Militia who gave the order to fire; and a fife played by a young boy. In the “Defending Concord” history gallery\, discover the part these objects played in the events of the fateful day that began an eight-year fight for independence. \nAs the Concord Annual Patriots’ Day Parade heads through the center of town\, make sure to stop by historic Wright Tavern from 9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. for more fun and games! Play colonial games and learn about the history of Wright Tavern\, constructed in 1747\, and the role the tavern played on April 19\, 1775. Wright Tavern activities are free and open to the public. \nConcord Museum Patriots’ Day activities are made possible in part with the generous support of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.
