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. He is the author of many books\, including George Washington’s Journey\, winner of the History Prize of the Society of the Cincinnati and finalist for the George Washington’s Book Prize; and Marketplace of Revolution\, winner of the Society of Colonial Wars Book Award. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Book and Times Literary Supplement. \nFREE. Advanced registration required. 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.

SUMMARY:Postponed -Listening for Thoreau's Flute
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time\, when it is confirmed. \nJoin us for a conversation with Middlebury College professor emeritus John Elder as he investigates the history and form of Thoreau’s box flute\, which now resides in the Concord Museum’s collection.  Thoreau inherited the flute upon the death of his beloved brother\, John.  The instrument reveals the role of music in the Thoreau family as well as links the evolution of woodwinds to broader currents of thought in the mid-nineteenth century.  The talk will be complemented with Elder playing some of Thoreau’s favorite music on a boxwood flute almost identical to his in construction and history. \n \nJohn Elder studied English at Pomona and Yale\, and in 1973 he joined the faculty of Middlebury College\, with a joint appointment in English and Environmental Studies. John’s special interests as a teacher included American nature writing\, English Romanticism\, Japan’s haiku tradition\, Robert Frost’s poetry\, and the contemporary poetry of earth.  John’s most recent book is Picking Up the Flute which sets to music a former professor’s musings on retirement\, marriage\, literature\, and the natural world. The memoir is permeated by music\, interweaving his narrative of learning to play the Irish flute with stories related to his time teaching at Middlebury College and texts and memories from his past (including those related to Henry David Thoreau) whose meanings echo now with a whole new sound. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member. \n  \nImage: Flute. 1828-1832.

SUMMARY:Postponed - Boston Massacre: A Family History
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \n250 years ago this March\, British soldiers shot into a crowd and killed five civilians outside Boston’s Old State House on a blustery night in 1770. In her new book on the Boston Massacre\, Serena Zabin\, professor of history at Carleton College\, offers a unique view of the British occupation of Boston highlighting that the British army at that time was a family institution with soldiers being accompanied by their wives and children\, who lived side-by-side (and often in common cause) with their fellow Bostonians. How did this familial bond break in the violent events of the Boston Massacre that led to a bitterly fought American Revolution? \nProfessor Zabin’s new book Boston Massacre: A Family History will be available for signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member. \nImage: Bloody Massacre.
