SUMMARY:The Letters of Ellen Garrison
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for participating in our virtual forum! Please submit your questions and comments on YouTube or by emailing ashilling@concordmuseum.org. \n \nEllen Garrison\, the daughter and granddaughter of men who had been enslaved\, spent her life educating newly freed people and fighting for their civil rights.

SUMMARY:Members’ Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Read along in the Museum’s summer book club that includes both the new and noteworthy and Concord classics.  Whether you are on the beach\, a mountain\, or your sofa members can join us virtually for monthly reads\, discussions\, and themed cocktails all summer long.  Book club meetings will be held remotely over Zoom.  The Zoom link will be sent to registrants. \nThe first book club read is Louisa May Alcott’s unpublished debut novel The Inheritance\, written when she was just 17.  20 years before the publication of Little Women\, Alcott was in the midst of what she described in her journals as her sentimental period.  The romantic tale of an Italian orphan who learns she is the heir to an English estate where she is employed is reminiscent of her influencers including Charlotte Brontë\, Jane Austen\, and Sir Walter Scott.  But it also shows a budding maturity of the suffragist\, abolitionist\, and leading author of the 19th century.  The Inheritance’s manuscript was uncovered in the Alcott family papers kept in Houghton Library at Harvard and first published in 1997.  The discovery of this early writing tells us much about the development of one of America’s most beloved and widely published authors. And\, what better way to start the summer than with a novel vignetted with a midnight boating party\, jealous interloper\, and a missing will? \nOrder your copy of The Inheritance through the Concord Bookshop. \nFor members of the Concord Museum.  Become a member to participate! \nImage: Louisa May Alcott\, Warren’s Portraits\, Boston\, around 1875; Carte de visite\, photograph on cardstock.

SUMMARY:Sheltering with Thoreau:  A Conversation with David Gessner
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for participating in our virtual forums. Please send your questions through the chat on YouTube or by emailing ashilling@concordmuseum.org. \n \nWhen the pandemic struck\, nature writer David Gessner turned to Henry David Thoreau for lessons on how to live alone. In his new book\, Savage Delight: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crisis\, he explores whether those lessons – of re-wilding\, loving nature\, self-reliance\, and civil disobedience—hold a secret that could help save us as we face the coming challenges of climate change. \nPlease note this is a virtual forum. \nDonations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives.

SUMMARY:Concord Farms: Resilience\, Revolutionaries\, and Renegades
DESCRIPTION:The place we call Concord has been home to thriving agriculture communities for thousands of years.  Throughout that time\, farmers have faced threats against their livelihood and culture from colonization\, slavery\, climate change\, commercial agriculture\, and -most recently- a global pandemic.  Through these hardships\, is a story of resilience.  The Concord farmer\, who put down the plow to fire the first shots on the British Empire\, is not the faint-hearted.  Join us for a panel discussion on both the history of agriculture in Concord and the future for which today’s farmers are preparing.  This evening will be both informative and celebratory as we help spread the word about the richness of the Town’s agricultural resources to residents of Concord and beyond. \nPhoto: Steve Verrill on his farm \nChurchill and Janet Franklin Lyceum.
