SUMMARY:The Letters of Ellen Garrison
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for participating in our virtual forum! Please submit your questions and comments on YouTube or by emailing ashilling@concordmuseum.org. \n \nEllen Garrison\, the daughter and granddaughter of men who had been enslaved\, spent her life educating newly freed people and fighting for their civil rights.

Join us as we partner with The Robbins House in presenting scholars Maria Madison ( left) and Sandy Petrulionis (right) in a conversation about a recent initiative to  transcribe Ellen’s letters and what they reveal about her fascinating and courageous life. \nThis is a virtual event.

SUMMARY:Members’ Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Read along in the Museum’s summer book club that includes both the new and noteworthy and Concord classics.  Whether you are on the beach\, a mountain\, or your sofa members can join us virtually for monthly reads\, discussions\, and themed cocktails all summer long.  Book club meetings will be held remotely over Zoom.  The Zoom link will be sent to registrants. \nThe first book club read is Louisa May Alcott’s unpublished debut novel The Inheritance\, written when she was just 17.  20 years before the publication of Little Women\, Alcott was in the midst of what she described in her journals as her sentimental period.  The romantic tale of an Italian orphan who learns she is the heir to an English estate where she is employed is reminiscent of her influencers including Charlotte Brontë\, Jane Austen\, and Sir Walter Scott.  But it also shows a budding maturity of the suffragist\, abolitionist\, and leading author of the 19th century.  The Inheritance’s manuscript was uncovered in the Alcott family papers kept in Houghton Library at Harvard and first published in 1997.  The discovery of this early writing tells us much about the development of one of America’s most beloved and widely published authors. And\, what better way to start the summer than with a novel vignetted with a midnight boating party\, jealous interloper\, and a missing will? \nOrder your copy of The Inheritance through the Concord Bookshop. \nFor members of the Concord Museum.  Become a member to participate! \nImage: Louisa May Alcott\, Warren’s Portraits\, Boston\, around 1875; Carte de visite\, photograph on cardstock.

SUMMARY:Members’ Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Read along in the Museum’s summer book club that includes both the new and noteworthy and Concord classics.  Whether you are on the beach\, a mountain\, or your sofa members can join us virtually for monthly reads\, discussions\, and themed cocktails all summer long.  Book club meetings will be held remotely over Zoom.  The Zoom link will be sent to registrants. \nThe July book club read is James McBride’s 2013 National Book Award Winner The Good Lord Bird.  A highly entertaining portrait of life on the Kansas-territory with John Brown and his army of abolitionists\, Henry Shackleford\, a formerly enslaved child sweeps us up in the action as he is taken under John Brown’s wing – who believes Henry is a girl\, his good luck charm\, and nicknames Little Onion. \nMilitant abolitionist John Brown visited Concord at the behest of the Concord Female Anti-Slavery Society in March 1857 where he dined at Mrs. Thoreau’s table and discussed the “fights and escapes in Kansas” in her parlor with Henry David Thoreau.  The next evening\, Brown addressed a crowd at the Concord Town Hall who was held spellbound by his accounts of Kansas (despite only contributing a trifle towards his financial goal)\, before a reception in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s home where he was invited to spend the night.  Though only a brief visit in Concord\, Brown left an impression on the leading abolitionists and Transcendentalists of the community.  His radical activism continues to resonate with us today and comes alive in James McBride’s novel with a captivating mix of history and imagination. \nFor members of the Concord Museum.  Become a member to participate!

SUMMARY:Concord Farms: Resilience\, Revolutionaries\, and Renegades
DESCRIPTION:The place we call Concord has been home to thriving agriculture communities for thousands of years.  Throughout that time\, farmers have faced threats against their livelihood and culture from colonization\, slavery\, climate change\, commercial agriculture\, and -most recently- a global pandemic.  Through these hardships\, is a story of resilience.  The Concord farmer\, who put down the plow to fire the first shots on the British Empire\, is not the faint-hearted.  Join us for a panel discussion on both the history of agriculture in Concord and the future for which today’s farmers are preparing.  This evening will be both informative and celebratory as we help spread the word about the richness of the Town’s agricultural resources to residents of Concord and beyond. \nPhoto: Steve Verrill on his farm \nChurchill and Janet Franklin Lyceum.
