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.

SUMMARY:Postponed - A Walk with Louisa and Ellen
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \n“To spend the day at their house was a rapturous event\,” Ellen Emerson wrote to a friend in 1869\, remembering her friends\, the Alcott girls. \nTo mark the centennial of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment\, the Concord Museum places women at the center of political thought and action that reshaped the country in the early 20th century through a program highlighting the objects and homes of remarkable women including Louisa May Alcott and her dear friend Ellen Emerson.  Beginning in the Concord Museum galleries\, participants will have the opportunity to view significant historical objects including Louisa May Alcott’s tea kettle that she used while serving as a nurse for the Union Army.  The program will conclude with a walk to Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s House where participants will hear stories of friendship and the quest for equality. \n1-mile walk\, mostly flat sidewalk or pavement\, rain or shine. Meet at the Concord Museum. \nFree. \nSpace for our popular walking tours is limited.  Please reserve tickets in advance to ensure registration. Register here.

SUMMARY:Postponed - Memory Lands
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \nWilliams College historian Christine DeLucia will discuss her book\, Memory Lands\, in which she reconsiders the markers\, monuments\, and “memoryscapes” that memorialize King Philip’s War alongside the processes that alternatively repress and recover Indigenous histories of survival and adaptation.  The Concord Museum’s new permanent exhibition\, The People of Musketaquid\, will serve as a case study on how museums present this complicated history to the public. \n  \nChristine DeLucia is Assistant Professor of History at Williams College. She focuses on Native American/ Indigenous and early American topics. Her research\, teaching\, and writing involve community collaborations\, decolonizing approaches to archives\, museums\, and knowledge circulation\, and socially transformative ways of connecting past\, present\, and future. Memory Lands: King Philip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast is her first book. Prior to Williams\, Professor DeLucia was a member of the history faculty at Mount Holyoke College. In 2018-2019\, she held a research fellowship at Chicago’s Newberry Library to work on her second book\, a study of Native communities’ complex modes of dwelling\, adaptation\, and sovereignty in the 18th-century Northeast. Professor DeLucia completed a Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale\, an M.Litt. in Environmental History at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland\, and an A.B. in History and Literature at Harvard. \n  \nProfessor DeLucia’s book Memory Lands: King Phillip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast will be available for signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member.
