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. This program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.

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.
