SUMMARY:Garden Tour 2017
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 28 Years of a New England Tradition\nThe famed Concord spokesman for individualism and self-reliance\, Ralph Waldo Emerson\, once wrote: “When I go into a good garden\, I think\, if it were mine\, I should never go out of it.” This year the Concord Museum is celebrating 28 years of “going into good gardens” on the annual Concord Garden Tour. \nThe Museum’s Guild of Volunteers has organized this pre-eminent garden tour\, an unequalled opportunity both to share in the delights of beautiful and historic private gardens in Concord and to support the Museum’s Education Programs which annually serve over 12\,000 students from 85 Massachusetts communities and 22 states. \nThe Museum’s Garden Tour has become a New England tradition for garden lovers from near and far. The Garden Tour will take place on two days\, Friday and Saturday\, June 2 and June 3\, rain or shine. Each of the private gardens reflects the individual interests and passions of the owners and their families and will inspire both new gardeners designing their first perennial bed and accomplished landscapers with acres of “garden rooms.” The Garden Tour will feature a pop-up shop with refreshments and an “Ask An Arborist” booth\, each at a different garden. \nThe tour of Concord-area gardens is self-guided and self-paced\, beginning each day at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until 4:00 p.m. Garden-goers should arrive at the Museum to pick up their maps prior to starting out. Tickets are good for either or both days\, but each garden may only be visited once.  No refunds; no photography. \nTickets purchased after May 28 or at the door\, $35 Concord Museum Members\, $40 Non-Members.\nOnline registration is now closed for this event\, but tickets may be purchased at the Museum admissions desk\, both Friday and Saturday.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Street Smarts
DESCRIPTION:In Concord\, we often say\, there is history on every street corner.  And at the Concord Museum\, we take that literally. How and when were today’s streets named? The answers are interesting ones that bring a human connection to the familiar green and white signs on Concord’s street corners.  To tell the story behind the sign we paired objects from the Museum’s wide-ranging collection with the street name.

SUMMARY:Seasonings
DESCRIPTION:The four seasons—winter\, spring\, summer and fall—evoke distinctive individual memories\, yet often with universal appeal. This engaging exhibition drew from the artifacts in the Concord Museum’s rich and varied collection to explore some of the nostalgic events\, traditions\, and rituals of each season in American culture. Opening to the public on the first full day of summer\, the exhibition began by chronicling the season of outdoor recreations\, summer breezes\, and patriotic celebrations. Spring\, fall and winter were similarly explored through artifacts that bring to mind a seasonal sense of time and place: spring cleaning and baseball\, back-to-school and applepicking\, keeping warm and snow sports.

SUMMARY:American Style: Russell Kettell’s Pine Furniture
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s and 30s\, Russell Kettell\, collector and author of the now classic books Pine Furniture and Early American Rooms\, defined an aesthetic that helped shape the appreciation of American domestic art and craft. His book on period rooms\, compiled with the help of the first generation of American museum professionals to interpret American art\, was the first to define the canon for the re-creation of historic domestic interiors. His book on pine furniture similarly defined for generations the distinctive appeal of the vernacular furniture of New England. The Concord Museum drew on its own collection—Russell Kettell donated more than 1000 pieces from his own collection to the Museum—and several private collections to illustrate Kettell’s aesthetic. Included in the exhibition were boxes\, tables\, candlestands\, looking glasses\, six-board cases\, cupboards\, hanging shelves\, ceramics and metalware that exemplify the American style associated with Russell Kettell.

SUMMARY:Building Thoreau’s Boat
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition had as its centerpiece the reconstruction of a boat like the one Henry Thoreau and his brother John rowed and sailed in a trip they took from Concord\, Massachusetts to New Hampshire in 1839. It was this trip\, in this boat\, that resulted in Henry Thoreau’s first book\, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The exhibition explored the brothers’ now-famous trip\, the history of dories in New England\, and most importantly\, the process of recreating and building an historic boat. In June 2007\, David Snediker of Taylor & Snediker\, specialists in building and restoring small craft\, reconstructed Thoreau’s dory in a boat-building yard in Pawcatuck\, CT. The process was documented by photographer Eric Roth\, whose photographs\, along with the plans\, tools and raw materials used in the boatbuilding process\, were displayed in the exhibition.
