SUMMARY:A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson
DESCRIPTION:Robert D. Richardson III Annual Forum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMore than two centuries after his birth\, Ralph Waldo Emerson remains one of the presiding spirits in American culture. Yet his reputation as the starry-eyed prophet of self-reliance has obscured a much more complicated figure who spent a lifetime wrestling with injustice\, philosophy\, art\, desire\, and suffering. James Marcus introduces us to this Emerson\, a writer of self-interrogating genius whose visionary flights are always grounded in Yankee shrewdness. \nCo-sponsored by the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association. \nRegister using the form below. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nForums are supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.

SUMMARY:Nummeehquantamūmun
DESCRIPTION:Nummeehquantamūmun \n\n\n\n\n\nnia holley\, Nipmuc\, is reintroducing corn in the Museum’s interior courtyard as a process to reawaken the mortar and return corn to this place. This mortar is one of many mortars held by the Concord Museum that have been used for a variety of purposes by Indigenous communities\, including processing food\, medicines\, and pigments. \nThrough the planting of corn\, Nummeehquantamūmun evokes a complex and multilayered process of remembering that includes the corn\, the mortar\, and all of us bearing witness.  \nIn collaboration with nia holley\, the Museum will be adding interpretive labels about the project in the interior courtyard later this summer. The Museum will also hold a public program with her in the fall to discuss the installation and process\, as well as to promote conversations around topics relating to memory\, food\, and relationships. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist: nia holley is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is deeply influenced by what survival and healing look like within Black and Indigenous communities. Her work ranges from printmaking\, ceramics\, metalsmithing\, and traditional arts to bringing tribal communities together around food justice\, agroecology\, land\, and history. She strives to cultivate relationships across tribal borders to rebuild a more inclusive and historical process of kinship and survival. She has actively engaged with Indigenous-led grassroots organizations as an outreach and project coordinator and has participated in Nipmuc programs since before she could walk and talk. nia is a co-founder of the Eastern Woodlands Rematriation collective.

SUMMARY:Interpreting the Queer Past
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Concord Pride\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Matt Champagne for a discussion on queer history and how it is represented at historic sites.  \nThe lives of famous people like Friedrich Wilhem von Steuben\, James Buchanan\, Ma Rainey band others provoke serious questions about how to appropriately discuss the queer past\,   The intense bonds some historic figures formed with members of the same sex\, the homoerotic ways some historic figures expressed themselves artistically\, the eccentric belongings some historic figures held dearest\, the flamboyant character traits with which some historic figures became synonymous\, and the special ways some historic figures supported themselves lead some historians to posit that these elements show queer people and queer networks existed prior to the gay rights movement that emerged in the twentieth century.  \nProfiled in Champagnes’ upcoming book Things Not Allowed in the House: Interpreting the Queer Past at Museums and Historic Sites are institutions responsible for interpreting the legacies of such people and their networks. For these individuals and their acquaintances\, rumors abound and contradictory evidence exists because they either lived in an age before the advent of positive terms to describe queer identities or they kept their comfortability with such affirming terms closely guarded secrets. These figures and their networks will never be able to ‘come out’ nor ‘set the record straight.’ This begs the question: how should museums and historic sites interpret such historic figures and the circles to which they belonged? \nWhile using modern terms to describe the experiences of these individuals and their closest companions arguably constitutes historical inaccuracy\, so too does the tradition of trivializing queer historic figures as ‘confirmed bachelors’ or their relationships as those of ‘just good friends.’ Things Not Allowed in the House refrains from making any definitive determinations regarding the rumors that surround queer people and queer networks. Instead\, as a work of public history\, this research lays bare the ways museums and historic sites use interpretation to extinguish or facilitate dialogue around the queer past. Through an analysis of interpretive approaches deployed at a variety of museums and historic sites where queer people once lived\, Thing Not Allowed in the House shows the implicit and explicit ways institutional homophobia and transphobia plague traditional public history theory and practice. It also highlights some institutions that confront these problematic approaches; through which\, Things Not Allowed in the House shows how some museums and historic sites are made into safe places for queer people to seek out their past. \nMore About Dr. Champagne  \nDr. Matthew Champagne graduated from the Public History Ph.D. program at North Carolina State University (NC State) after graduating from Pace University in New York City. At the end of his undergraduate experience\, Champagne received degrees in Classics\, history\, and theater. He also earned the academic accolades of the Benjamin T.

SUMMARY:We Were Friends
DESCRIPTION:Episode One: Two Years In: Birthdays \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvanced ticket sales are now closed.

Margaret is suffering from a cold and indecision. Waldo\, a rising writer and speaker\, wonders about Beauty: is it always there\, or is there never enough of it? \nBring your own picnic blanket and join Margaret and Waldo on the Museum’s front lawn for this outdoor performance. \nFollowing the performance\, writers and performers Nora Fifer and Jason Lambert and co-writerHenry Walters will participate in a talk-back with the audience. \n$10 Member | $12 Non-Member (Receive a $2 discount if you purchase tickets to both performances in advance of the first performance) \nRegister using the form below.

SUMMARY:Object Spotlight Talk: Sewing Table
DESCRIPTION:This talk will take place at 2:30pm in the To Set This World Right Gallery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis sewing table was likely used by Cynthia\, Helen\, and Sophia Thoreau in their home when making quilts for antislavery fundraising fairs hosted by the Concord Female Anti-Slavery Society. Female antislavery activists faced many challenges including not having the right to vote in political elections and discouragement from speaking about their political opinions in public. Faced with these challenges\, they met in parlors to plan fundraisers\, write petitions\, and convince nationally prominent abolitionist speakers to come to Concord. This spotlight talk highlights the members of the Concord Female Anti-Slavery Society and their role as the driving force behind the abolitionist movement in Concord.  \n\n\n\nFree with Museum admission | Members visit free.  \n\n\n\nAbout Object Spotlight Talks: During these brief talks\, a Museum Interpreter showcases a fascinating story behind an item in the Concord Museum collections. \n\n\n\nSewing Table\, Massachusetts\, about 1845\, Concord Museum Collections\, Museum Purchase\, TH44.

SUMMARY:Portrait Mode
DESCRIPTION:“A new show at the Concord Museum takes portraiture to unexpected places.” — The Boston Globe\n\n\n\nPortrait Mode\n\n\n\n\nPortrait Mode offers an intimate look at over 40 historical portraits from the Concord Museum collection\, highlighting poignant stories of representation and absence and inviting us to consider whose faces become a part of history.   \nDuring the nineteenth century\, new forms of technology such as silhouettes and photographs made it possible to create inexpensive portraits. From the tiny photographs preserved in lockets and tintype albums to silhouettes and oil paintings\, this special exhibition offers powerful glimpses of how portraits were used as tools of memory-making; how information has been lost over time; and how portraits served as a tool of self-fashioning and making an individual life visible.   \nFeatured objects include a rare carte de visite photograph of Jack Garrison\, a free African American man who contributed to Concord’s community and antislavery movement in the mid-nineteenth century; a mysterious oil painting misidentified as Henry David Thoreau in the early twentieth century; and evocative portraits of unidentified subjects\, including ambrotypes\, cabinet cards\, and photograph albums.  \nOn view in Gross Family Gallery at the Concord Museum\, Portrait Mode explores how we can understand the role of portraits in documenting individual lives\, the many missing faces from our history\, and how we might continue to imagine and represent their experiences.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImages:Jack Garrison\, Horton\, Boston\, MA\, mid-19th century.  Concord Museum Collection\, Gift of Mrs. Olive Brooks Banks; Pi1120a.Miss Elisha [Alicia] Keyes\, Boston\, Ma\, late 19th century.  Concord Museum Collection\, Gift of Katherine E.

SUMMARY:1774 and All That
DESCRIPTION:1774 and All That: Reflections on a Long Year of Revolution\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the most acclaimed and original colonial historians of our time\, Mary Beth Norton\, shares her landmark text 1774: The Long Year of Revolution chronicling the revolutionary changes that occurred from December 1773 to April 1775—from the Boston Tea Party to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. In those 16 months\, colonists loyal to King George III began discordant “discussions” that led to their acceptance of the inevitability of war. Professor Norton will be joined in conversation to bring to life this foundational moment in American history.  \n1774: The Long Year of Revolution by Mary Beth Norton is the winner of the George Washington Prize (sponsored by Mt. Vernon\, Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History\, and Washington College) as the best book on the revolutionary era published in 2020 and was named a best book of the year by The Wall Street Journal.   \nMary Beth Norton is the Mary Donlan Alger Professor of American History Emerita & Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow at Cornell University. \nCo-sponsored by the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts \nThis forum is being held both in-person at the Concord Museum and livestreamed to a virtual audience. \nIn-person registration is full.
