SUMMARY:Concord Collects
DESCRIPTION:Concord Collects featured twenty remarkable works of art from four Concord private collections being displayed together for the first time. These collections have been formed thoughtfully over decades by an equally remarkable group of collectors whose broad-ranging interests come into sharp focus with each selection made. \n  \nAs a complement to this exhibition in the Wallace Kane Gallery\, an adjacent gallery–the Gross Family Gallery–showcased some of the most outstanding clocks\, furniture\, needlework\, silver\, and other items that the Concord Museum has collected in the recent past\, including in many instances the finest known examples of each of those media. \n  \nConcord Collects was the first exhibition presented in the Museum following the construction of the Anna and Neil Rasmussen Education Center and renovations to the Gund and Little buildings. \n

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods Lecture Series: Shift\, Stays\, and Pannier
DESCRIPTION:Shift\, Stays\, and Pannier \nAs part of the Fresh Goods lecture series\,  join historians and living history interpreters Linda Greene and Michele Gabrielson for an in-depth look at how women got dressed every day in the 1700s. They will explore the “ins” and “outs” of a typical 18th century woman’s dress from a common\, lower to middling class status to an upper class persona. Each layer of clothing will be discussed with a focus on fabric\, style and purpose. Perfect for anyone interested in colonial era costume or the lives of women in the 18th century! \nMuseum members free\, Non-members $5. Register online\, or call (978)369-9763\, x216. \nLinda Greene has a long interest in ladies’ tailoring and has attended and led many workshops on the study and construction of 18th century clothing. She enjoys hand-stitching colonial clothing for herself and her family\, who have been heavily involved with re-enacting as members of Col. Bailey’s 2nd MA Regiment for the past twelve years. Linda is the Living History Program Manager at the Old North Church\, Boston\, MA. She is also a major contributor to The Hearth and Home of Mrs. Newark Jackson\, Old North’s blog on all things chocolate and colonial. \nMichele Gabrielson is a U.S. history teacher and frequently uses living history techniques in the classroom to bring the subject material alive for her middle school students. Michele is also a member of two reenacting groups: Col. Bailey’s 2nd Massachusetts Regiment and Claus’ Rangers. For the past five summers\, she apprenticed under Gary Gregory at the Printing Office of Edes & Gill and specialized in documenting women printers of the 18th century. Her desire in portraying the lives of 18th century women as accurately as possible has led to her participation in workshops and lectures across New England\, New York\, and Virginia in order to learn period-correct construction techniques of the garments of the time

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods Lecture Series: Transgressing the Color Line
DESCRIPTION:Transgressing the Color Line: Depictions of Free Blacks in the Popular Press \nAs part of the Fresh Goods Lecture Series\, join writer and historian Jonathan Michael Square as he analyzes images of free Africans Americans in New York City\, Philadelphia\, and Boston that appeared in the popular press. Specifically\, a series of cartoons published in the early nineteenth century used to arouse Northern anti-black fears that free blacks might be threatening the racial\, sexual\, and class hierarchies. Fashion will be the central analytic as free blacks were often depicted as dandified buffoons. He will show how the overly fashioned bodies of the free blacks in northern metropolises transgressed and threatened the\, until then\, established slavocratic order. In partnership with the Robbins House. \nMuseum members free\, Non-members $5. Register online\, or call (978)369-9763\, x216. \n \nJonathan is a writer and historian specializing in Afro-Diasporic fashion and visual culture.

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods Lecture Series - The Indigenous Look
DESCRIPTION:The Indigenous Look: attire in 18th century Massachusetts \nAs part of our Fresh Goods exhibition lecture series\, Aquinnah Wampanoag artist and designer Elizabeth James-Perry will discuss the period from 1750 -1900 in terms of Indigenous Massachusetts attire and jewelry. \nWhile preferences often continued for use of soft smoked deerskin\, elk and textured moose for clothing and sturdy footwear\, along with a variety of furs and indigenous textiles\, decreasing availability of some materials – especially in the 18th century – led to interesting combinations and substitutions of Native and Euro-American styles and materials. \nMuseum members free\, Non-members $5. Register online\, or call (978)369-9763\, x216. \n \nElizabeth James-Perry is a citizen of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head-Aquinnah\, whose community is located near the richly colored clay cliffs of Noepe (Martha’s Vineyard). Elizabeth is a contemporary and traditional artist taught by family members including the late Helen Attaquin and Nanepashemut\, and through her own museum research here and abroad. Elizabeth creates Eastern Woodlands clothing and accessories directly informed by her seventeenth and eighteenth century Wampanoag ancestors\, and will bring examples of her work\, which has been exhibited nationally.

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods: Shopping for Clothing in Concord\, 1750-1900
DESCRIPTION:How do you shop for clothes? Do you go to a department store at the mall\, buy online or through mail order catalogues\, shop locally at specialty shops\, or frequent consignment shops? How did Concordians in the 18th and 19th centuries acquire their clothes? Who were the style-setters? \nAs part of the state-wide MASS Fashion collaborative project\, Fresh Goods\, a past exhibition at the Concord Museum\, examined these questions about the sources and context of small-town Massachusetts fashion and document answers by drawing on the Museum’s extensive historic clothing\, textile\, and decorative arts collection\, as well as probate inventories\, account books\, advertisements\, photographs\, and letters and diaries of the period. \nClothing conveys information about the wearer’s gender\, age\, rank\, and wealth\, as well as clues about subtler categories\, such as taste\, education\, marital status\, and aspiration. Through twenty evocative documented outfits\, the exhibition considered the shopping habits of Concordians in the 18th and 19th centuries. Included in the exhibition were pieces made at home with fabric purchased at shops on Concord’s main street\, or made at the local workplaces of seamstresses\, tailors\, and milliners; or purchased in Boston\, New York\, London\, or Paris. Through close looking at these rare and rarely-displayed artifacts\, visitors were encouraged to compare their own conventions for consuming clothing to people’s practices in the past. \nThe accessories and services available through the 18th and 19th-century shops on Concord’s Milldam (the main street of the town)\, including mantua (dress) makers\, tailors\, hatters\, and boot and shoe makers\, was also explored. In addition\, visitors were able to virtually “shop” the Museum’s historic clothing collection through a specially designed interactive experience that utilized an online shopping platform. \nThe title\, Fresh Goods\, is taken from a November 1816 newspaper ad for the Concord shop of Josiah Davis announcing the sale of fabrics such as figured flannels\, crimson bombazettes\, and white and black cambricks. The exhibition was accompanied by a broad range of engaging public programs for both adults and children.

SUMMARY:This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal
DESCRIPTION:The bicentennial of Henry David Thoreau’s birth culminated with the opening of the most comprehensive exhibition ever created about one of the world’s most original writers and thinkers. This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal brought together remarkable holdings from the world’s two most significant Thoreau collections: journals\, manuscripts\, letters\, books\, and field notes from the Morgan Library & Museum; and\, from the Concord Museum\, unique personal items which included the simple green desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden and “Civil Disobedience.” \nThe exhibit featured nearly one hundred items and united for the first time the only two photographs for which Thoreau sat during his lifetime. The show centered on the journal Thoreau kept throughout his life and its importance in understanding the essential Thoreau. More than twenty of Thoreau’s journal notebooks were shown along with letters and manuscripts\, books from his library\, pressed plants from his herbarium\, and important personal artifacts like his walking stick. \nMargaret Burke\, Executive Director of the Concord Museum\, explained\, “Fresh from its extraordinary success at New York’s Morgan Library & Museum\, This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal is one of the most important exhibits the Concord Museum has had the privilege to present. We are excited to reunite – in his hometown – Henry David Thoreau’s personal items and journals. Nearly two centuries after Thoreau’s birth\, we are just beginning to appreciate the enormous impact he has had on our culture\, our thinking\, and our appreciation of our world. We are proud to share those insights with the people of Concord and with admirers from around the world.” \nThroughout 2017\, Concord celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of writer and thinker Henry Thoreau (1817-1862). The Concord Museum\, along with program partners\, developed a year-long initiative\, “Be Thoreau\,” which encouraged us to explore the writer’s work from a historical and contemporary perspective. \nEvery private journal tells the story of self. For his entire adult life\, Thoreau filled notebook after notebook with his observations and reflections\, strong in the belief that a closely examined life would yield infinite riches. His journal was his everyday companion\, an essential tool for a mindful existence\, and grist for Walden. The exhibition took Thoreau’s manuscript journal as a point of departure to introduce the many facets of this extraordinary man  – the student\, reader\, writer\, worker\, thinker\, Concord neighbor\, and above all\, keen observer of the inner and outer world. It revealed how Thoreau used his journal as a place to cultivate – and constantly renew – his very self. \n“It is a wonderful highlight of the bicentennial to have Thoreau’s journal back in Concord for the first time in more than a century. I am one of the many who believe that the place to find the real historical Thoreau is in his journal\, and this exhibition is the first ever to successfully view it in that light.” David Wood\, Concord Museum Curator

SUMMARY:Anatomy of a Desk and Walden\, a game
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brought focus to two iconic desks that played a major role in America’s literary tradition. The first\, a Windsor writing-arm chair\, was the desk at which Ralph Waldo Emerson penned his first book\, Nature. The second\, the humble green desk of Henry David Thoreau\, became no less a literary star as it accompanied Thoreau from the schoolroom where he taught with his brother to the pond where he drafted his most influential work\, Walden. These two desks from the Concord Museum collection were exhibited side by side in the gallery.

SUMMARY:N.C. Wyeth's Men of Concord
DESCRIPTION:N.C. Wyeth’s Men of Concord brought together\, for the first time in nearly eighty years\, the twelve original panels N.C. Wyeth painted for the book\, Men of Concord and Some Others\, as Portrayed in the Journal of Henry David Thoreau(1936). The exhibition also included charcoal drawings\, watercolors\, an additional artwork related to the series\, including sketches created by Andrew Wyeth as illustrations for the book. \nThe exhibition was presented in collaboration with the Concord Free Public Library’s William Munroe Special Collections\, which featured From Thoreau’s Seasons to Men of Concord: N.C. Wyeth Inspired in the Library Art Gallery. This exhibition explored N.C. Wyeth’s fascination with Henry David Thoreau – in Wyeth’s words\, “the springhead for almost every move I can make” – by tracing the evolution of the book men of Concord from Wyeth’s initial inspiration for it in 1918 to its long-delayed but triumphant publication in 1936.

Drawn primarily from an exceptional private collection in New York\, the show featured works by acclaimed American artists — including John Marin\, Robert Rauschenberg\, John Sloan\, and William Zorach — who were clearly inspired by baseball. Additional highlights included Boston Red Sox artifacts — the bat used by Jim Rice to hit his 301st home run\, a mask worn by Carlton Fisk\, a cap worn by Carl Yastrzemski\, a glove used by Ted Williams\, and three Red Sox World Series rings — courtesy of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and a private collection. \nClick here to view the online exhibition for The Art of Baseball.

SUMMARY:The Greatest Source of Wealth: Agriculture in Concord
DESCRIPTION:In Concord\, farmers\, educators\, planners\, environmental activists\, food distributors\, health professionals\, parents\, and policymakers engage in community-wide discussions about building local food connections. The town’s agrarian heritage and historic farmland were compelling starting points for that conversation. In celebration of this farming tradition\, past and present\, The Greatest Source of Wealth: Agriculture in Concord\, explored the changing agricultural landscape of Concord over time. The exhibition focused on both the innovations of the 19th century\, when Concord was at the forefront of agricultural reform\, and the challenges of the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage charted a new direction for one of America’s best-known living photographers. Unlike her staged and carefully lit portraits made on assignment for magazines and advertising clients\, the photographs in this exhibition were taken simply because Annie Leibovitz was moved by the subject. The images spoke in a commonplace language to the photographer’s curiosity about the world she inherited\, spanning landscapes both dramatic and quiet\, interiors of living rooms and bedrooms\, and objects that are talismans of past lives. \nVisiting the homes of iconic figures\, including Eleanor Roosevelt\, Ralph Waldo Emerson\, Louisa May Alcott\, Pete Seeger\, and Elvis Presley\, as well as places such as Niagara Falls\, Gettysburg\, Old Faithful\, and the Yosemite Valley\, she let her instincts and intuitions guide her to related subjects—hence the title “Pilgrimage.” The exhibition included approximately 70 photographs taken between April 2009 and May 2011—nine of them in Concord\, Massachusetts. Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage was organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Bernie Stadiem Endowment Fund provided support for the exhibition. The C.F. Foundation of Atlanta supported the museum’s traveling exhibition program\, Treasures to Go.
