SUMMARY:The Cabinetmaker's Account
DESCRIPTION:Jay Robert Stiefel\, historian of Colonial Philadelphia society and its material culture\, will introduce the life and work of English emigrant joiner John Head (1688-1754). Head’s Philadelphia account book is the earliest and most complete to have survived from any cabinetmaker working in either Great Britain or British North America. \nThe culmination of nearly 20 years of research\, Jay’s new volume serves as an essential reference work on 18th-century Philadelphia\, its furniture and material culture\, as well as an intimate and detailed social history of the interactions among that era’s most talented artisans and successful merchants. Commissioned by the American Philosophical Society and issued only a few months ago\, the large-format\, profusely-illustrated book is already one of APS’s best-sellers since it began publishing in 1771. It comes with a foreword by English furniture historian Adam Bowett\, chair of the Chippendale Society\, and an introduction by American historian Patrick Spero\, APS director and librarian. Copies will be available for inscription. \nAn entertaining and witty speaker\, Jay studied history at the University of Pennsylvania and Christ Church\, Oxford. In February 2019\, Oxford University designated Jay its “Alumni Author” of the month in North America. \nJay Stiefel will be in conversation with Gerald Ward\, the Senior Consulting Curator and the Katharine Lane Weems Senior Curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture Emeritus at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. He has served as the assistant curator at the Yale University Art Gallery and as an editor at the Winterthur Museum. Ward is a past president of the Decorative Arts Society\, a Fellow of The Pilgrim Society\, a Proprietor of the Portsmouth Athenaeum\, a member of the National Council of the Newport Historical Society\, and has served as a member of the editorial boards of Winterthur Portfolio and American Furniture. \nFree.  Advanced registration required.

SUMMARY:"Our Paradise at Concord": How Hawthorne Found Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Nathaniel Hawthorne cherished his years at the Old Manse\, where he and his wife Sophia lived from 1842 to 1845. How did the moody Salemite find happiness in Concord? Surveying Hawthorne’s private life and published fiction\, historian John Frederick Bell will explain how Hawthorne’s adopted home shaped his worldview. \nJohn Frederick Bell is an interdisciplinary historian at Assumption College specializing in race\, religion\, and social reform and the history of education.

His work has appeared in Education’s Histories\, Journal of the Civil War Era\, History of Education Quarterly\, and (forthcoming) Journal of the Early Republic. His teaching interests include undergraduate writing and research methods\, education studies\, and historical and contemporary social issues. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Join the waitlist: 7th Annual Sally Lanagan Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Will of the People: The Revolutionary Birth of America\nSOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist by completing the form at the bottom of the page.  We will inform you if any space becomes available for the lecture. Thank you. \nA prize-winning historian provides the missing piece in the story of America’s founding\, introducing us to the ordinary men and women who turned a faltering rebellion against colonial rule into an unexpectedly potent and enduring revolution. \nOver eight years of war\, ordinary Americans accomplished something extraordinary. Far from the actions of the Continental Congress and the Continental Army\, they took responsibility for the course of the revolution. by taking up the reins of power but also setting its limits\, they ensured America’s success. Without their participation\, there would have been no victory over Great Britain\, no independence. The colonial rebellion would have ended like so many others – in failure. \nT. H. Breen is the John Kluge Professor of American Law and Governance at the Library of Congress and Founding Director of the Chabraja Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern University. A former Guggenheim Fellow\, he has taught American history at Oxford\, Cambridge\, and Yale universities and is the James Marsh Professor-at-Large at the University of Vermont.

The Lanagan Lecture is an annual lecture named for Sally Lanagan\, a beloved volunteer who was deeply involved with the Museum and had a passion for American art\, the decorative arts\, and historic preservation.
