SUMMARY:This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal
DESCRIPTION:The bicentennial of Henry David Thoreau’s birth culminated with the opening of the most comprehensive exhibition ever created about one of the world’s most original writers and thinkers. This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal brought together remarkable holdings from the world’s two most significant Thoreau collections: journals\, manuscripts\, letters\, books\, and field notes from the Morgan Library & Museum; and\, from the Concord Museum\, unique personal items which included the simple green desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden and “Civil Disobedience.” \nThe exhibit featured nearly one hundred items and united for the first time the only two photographs for which Thoreau sat during his lifetime. The show centered on the journal Thoreau kept throughout his life and its importance in understanding the essential Thoreau. More than twenty of Thoreau’s journal notebooks were shown along with letters and manuscripts\, books from his library\, pressed plants from his herbarium\, and important personal artifacts like his walking stick. \nMargaret Burke\, Executive Director of the Concord Museum\, explained\, “Fresh from its extraordinary success at New York’s Morgan Library & Museum\, This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal is one of the most important exhibits the Concord Museum has had the privilege to present. We are excited to reunite – in his hometown – Henry David Thoreau’s personal items and journals. Nearly two centuries after Thoreau’s birth\, we are just beginning to appreciate the enormous impact he has had on our culture\, our thinking\, and our appreciation of our world. We are proud to share those insights with the people of Concord and with admirers from around the world.” \nThroughout 2017\, Concord celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of writer and thinker Henry Thoreau (1817-1862). The Concord Museum\, along with program partners\, developed a year-long initiative\, “Be Thoreau\,” which encouraged us to explore the writer’s work from a historical and contemporary perspective. \nEvery private journal tells the story of self. For his entire adult life\, Thoreau filled notebook after notebook with his observations and reflections\, strong in the belief that a closely examined life would yield infinite riches. His journal was his everyday companion\, an essential tool for a mindful existence\, and grist for Walden. The exhibition took Thoreau’s manuscript journal as a point of departure to introduce the many facets of this extraordinary man  – the student\, reader\, writer\, worker\, thinker\, Concord neighbor\, and above all\, keen observer of the inner and outer world. It revealed how Thoreau used his journal as a place to cultivate – and constantly renew – his very self. \n“It is a wonderful highlight of the bicentennial to have Thoreau’s journal back in Concord for the first time in more than a century. I am one of the many who believe that the place to find the real historical Thoreau is in his journal\, and this exhibition is the first ever to successfully view it in that light.” David Wood\, Concord Museum Curator

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods: Shopping for Clothing in Concord\, 1750-1900
DESCRIPTION:How do you shop for clothes? Do you go to a department store at the mall\, buy online or through mail order catalogues\, shop locally at specialty shops\, or frequent consignment shops? How did Concordians in the 18th and 19th centuries acquire their clothes? Who were the style-setters? \nAs part of the state-wide MASS Fashion collaborative project\, Fresh Goods\, a past exhibition at the Concord Museum\, examined these questions about the sources and context of small-town Massachusetts fashion and document answers by drawing on the Museum’s extensive historic clothing\, textile\, and decorative arts collection\, as well as probate inventories\, account books\, advertisements\, photographs\, and letters and diaries of the period. \nClothing conveys information about the wearer’s gender\, age\, rank\, and wealth\, as well as clues about subtler categories\, such as taste\, education\, marital status\, and aspiration. Through twenty evocative documented outfits\, the exhibition considered the shopping habits of Concordians in the 18th and 19th centuries. Included in the exhibition were pieces made at home with fabric purchased at shops on Concord’s main street\, or made at the local workplaces of seamstresses\, tailors\, and milliners; or purchased in Boston\, New York\, London\, or Paris. Through close looking at these rare and rarely-displayed artifacts\, visitors were encouraged to compare their own conventions for consuming clothing to people’s practices in the past. \nThe accessories and services available through the 18th and 19th-century shops on Concord’s Milldam (the main street of the town)\, including mantua (dress) makers\, tailors\, hatters\, and boot and shoe makers\, was also explored. In addition\, visitors were able to virtually “shop” the Museum’s historic clothing collection through a specially designed interactive experience that utilized an online shopping platform. \nThe title\, Fresh Goods\, is taken from a November 1816 newspaper ad for the Concord shop of Josiah Davis announcing the sale of fabrics such as figured flannels\, crimson bombazettes\, and white and black cambricks. The exhibition was accompanied by a broad range of engaging public programs for both adults and children.

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods Lecture Series - The Indigenous Look
DESCRIPTION:The Indigenous Look: attire in 18th century Massachusetts \nAs part of our Fresh Goods exhibition lecture series\, Aquinnah Wampanoag artist and designer Elizabeth James-Perry will discuss the period from 1750 -1900 in terms of Indigenous Massachusetts attire and jewelry. \nWhile preferences often continued for use of soft smoked deerskin\, elk and textured moose for clothing and sturdy footwear\, along with a variety of furs and indigenous textiles\, decreasing availability of some materials – especially in the 18th century – led to interesting combinations and substitutions of Native and Euro-American styles and materials. \nMuseum members free\, Non-members $5. Register online\, or call (978)369-9763\, x216. \n \nElizabeth James-Perry is a citizen of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head-Aquinnah\, whose community is located near the richly colored clay cliffs of Noepe (Martha’s Vineyard). Elizabeth is a contemporary and traditional artist taught by family members including the late Helen Attaquin and Nanepashemut\, and through her own museum research here and abroad. Elizabeth creates Eastern Woodlands clothing and accessories directly informed by her seventeenth and eighteenth century Wampanoag ancestors\, and will bring examples of her work\, which has been exhibited nationally.

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods Lecture Series: Transgressing the Color Line
DESCRIPTION:Transgressing the Color Line: Depictions of Free Blacks in the Popular Press \nAs part of the Fresh Goods Lecture Series\, join writer and historian Jonathan Michael Square as he analyzes images of free Africans Americans in New York City\, Philadelphia\, and Boston that appeared in the popular press. Specifically\, a series of cartoons published in the early nineteenth century used to arouse Northern anti-black fears that free blacks might be threatening the racial\, sexual\, and class hierarchies. Fashion will be the central analytic as free blacks were often depicted as dandified buffoons. He will show how the overly fashioned bodies of the free blacks in northern metropolises transgressed and threatened the\, until then\, established slavocratic order. In partnership with the Robbins House. \nMuseum members free\, Non-members $5. Register online\, or call (978)369-9763\, x216. \n \nJonathan is a writer and historian specializing in Afro-Diasporic fashion and visual culture. He currently teaches at Harvard University\, where his work explores the intersection of fashion and slavery in the African Diaspora — an outgrowth of his academic training at Cornell University\, University of Texas at Austin\, and New York University.

SUMMARY:Hidden Treasures: Wright Tavern Open House
DESCRIPTION:Built in 1747\, Wright Tavern secured its place in American history in 1774 and 1775 when the First Massachusetts Provincial Congress used it as a convening space. Then on April 19\, 1775\, it was used as a meeting place for the local colonial militia\, and later that same day it was taken over as the headquarters of the British Troops that raided Concord. \nThe Concord Museum\, in partnership with First Parish Church\, will open the first floor of the building to the public to celebrate this historic and hidden treasure. \nLearn about the role the building played in the events of the Revolution\, from the election of John Hancock as president of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress\, to visits from the King’s army during the battles of Concord and Lexington. \nThroughout the afternoon\, enjoy colonial games\, crafts\, and a colonial clothing try-on for kids\, while learning about the many owners of the building leading up to the present day.\nAt 3:00 p.m.\, join a walking tour of the Old Hill Burying Ground\, just up the hill from the Tavern. \nFree.

SUMMARY:Fresh Goods Lecture Series: Shift\, Stays\, and Pannier
DESCRIPTION:Shift\, Stays\, and Pannier \nAs part of the Fresh Goods lecture series\,  join historians and living history interpreters Linda Greene and Michele Gabrielson for an in-depth look at how women got dressed every day in the 1700s. They will explore the “ins” and “outs” of a typical 18th century woman’s dress from a common\, lower to middling class status to an upper class persona. Each layer of clothing will be discussed with a focus on fabric\, style and purpose. Perfect for anyone interested in colonial era costume or the lives of women in the 18th century! \nMuseum members free\, Non-members $5. Register online\, or call (978)369-9763\, x216. \nLinda Greene has a long interest in ladies’ tailoring and has attended and led many workshops on the study and construction of 18th century clothing. She enjoys hand-stitching colonial clothing for herself and her family\, who have been heavily involved with re-enacting as members of Col. Bailey’s 2nd MA Regiment for the past twelve years. Linda is the Living History Program Manager at the Old North Church\, Boston\, MA. She is also a major contributor to The Hearth and Home of Mrs. Newark Jackson\, Old North’s blog on all things chocolate and colonial. \nMichele Gabrielson is a U.S. history teacher and frequently uses living history techniques in the classroom to bring the subject material alive for her middle school students. Michele is also a member of two reenacting groups: Col. Bailey’s 2nd Massachusetts Regiment and Claus’ Rangers. For the past five summers\, she apprenticed under Gary Gregory at the Printing Office of Edes & Gill and specialized in documenting women printers of the 18th century. Her desire in portraying the lives of 18th century women as accurately as possible has led to her participation in workshops and lectures across New England\, New York\, and Virginia in order to learn period-correct construction techniques of the garments of the time

SUMMARY:Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Friday and Saturday\, June 1 and 2\, 2018 – Celebrating 29 Years of a New England Tradition\n \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 29 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 1 and June 2\, 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.” \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. \nThe 2018 Garden Tour will feature six exceptional private gardens in Concord\, plus two historic site gardens. A prevalent theme of this year’s tour is the famous Concord grape known the world over for its distinctive sweet flavor. The historic landmark Grapevine Cottage\, owned by Concord grape’s founder\, Ephraim Wales Bull\, is one of the special gardens on the tour. The ancestral vines of the original Concord grapes dating back to 1849 still can be seen. Wine lovers and horticulturists from all over the world still flock to the site to admire the history of wine\, jelly and jam making in America. Three of the properties on the tour include Concord grapes. \nCheck out four pop-up garden shops by Tina Labadini\, Callie & Fen\, Holiday\, and Copp Family Farms\, and the popular ‘Ask an Arborist’ booth! Support the Museum by shopping in town at J.McLaughlin and Sara Campbell and enjoy light refreshments; partial proceeds donated to the Museum. \nNew for 2018: Enjoy a special Garden Tour lunch at Fiorella’s! Whether you’d like to grab and go or enjoy a sit-down meal\, visit Fiorella’s at 24 Walden Street for the perfect Garden Tour dining experience all while supporting the Concord Museum! 20% of proceeds are donated to the Museum. \nEarly bird tickets purchased on or before May 28th are: $30 Concord Museum Members\, $35 Non-Members.
