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. Ford Award in history and the Charles H. Dyson Award\, while at Pace. At NC State\, Champagne received first place in the humanities category at the 2022 Graduate Student Research Symposium. He also represented NC State at the James A. Barnes Conference in 2017\, the annual meeting of the National Council on Public History in 2019\, and the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association in 2021. Additionally\, at NC State\, Champagne autonomously taught undergraduate courses on United States history\, public history\, and sexuality history. \nOver the last decade\, Champagne also served in a variety of leadership roles at historic sites and nonprofits. Through his experiences in the field\, Champagne developed educational programs for Eagle Project in New York\, New York; the Fairbanks House Museum in Dedham\, Massachusetts; the Page-Walker Arts & History Center in Cary\, North Carolina; and the Surratt House Museum in Clinton\, Maryland. Additionally\, he is a dedicated world traveler\, both as a tourist and academic\, and participated in events hosted at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand\, the Dramatic Arts Center in Iran\, and the University of Essex in England. Based on his work in the field of public history\, with fellow graduate students Katie Schinabeck and Sarah A. M. Soleim\, Champagne recently co-authored “Free History Lessons: Contextualizing Confederate Monuments in North Carolina” for Teachable Monuments: Using Public Art to Spark Dialogue and Confront Controversies. \nPlease contact dei@concordma.gov with any questions regarding this event.

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.

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. Please sign-up for a free ticket to watch virtually with the form below.\nThere is no waitlist. No tickets will be released on-site on the day of the program.

SUMMARY:A Dialogue with The Veda: Hindu Scripture and the Transcendentalists
DESCRIPTION:When we think of the connections between the Transcendentalists and Eastern culture\, we often think about Henry David Thoreau’s seminal essay Civil Disobedience and its influence on leaders of non-violent protest movements throughout the world\, including Mahatma Gandhi. However\, the exchange of ideas went both ways\, and the thoughts and writings of Thoreau and Raph Waldo Emerson were influenced by Hindu Philosophy. Join us for a unique symposium on this rich exchange of ideas and on how we can continue to learn from Vedic teaching to improve our everyday lives through mindfulness practices. \nSponsored by the Ms. Saluni Fadia and Prashant H. Fadia Foundation in celebration of the Foundation’s 25 years of giving back in the fields of education\, health\, technology\, and the arts in New England and India. \n5:00 – 6:00 pm: Bringing Vedic Teaching to Everyday Life: A Conversation and Guided Practice with Lara Wilson and Ruchika Sikri  \nRuchika Sikri\, co-creator and former executive leader of Google’s original Well-Being and Mindfulness Learning Program\, has a goal of bringing secular and science-based mindfulness and compassion learning to many organizations and communities globally. With her colleague Lara Wilson founder and executive director of the Concord-based non-profit Be Well Be Here\, Ruchika will lead participants through simple mindfulness techniques that help regulate emotions and start your journey to be more mindful in the moment. \n6:00 – 6:30 pm: Spotlight Talk on the Concord Museum’s Vedic Texts \nAn English traveler and writer\, Thomas Cholmondeley\, gifted Henry David Thoreau 44 volumes of sacred texts of India’s Vedic literary tradition. On his death\, Thoreau bequeathed half of the volumes to Ralph Waldo Emerson and half to Bronson Alcott. Concord Museum Educator Punita Arora presents a spotlight talk taking a closer look at three volumes displayed in the Concord Museum and the influence of Hindu Philosophy on Emerson and Thoreau’s thought and writing.  \n6:30 – 7:00 pm: Reception. The reception will not be livestreamed. \n7:00 – 8:00 pm: Keynote Address: Thoreau and the Bhagavad Gita with Laura Dassow Walls \nLaura Dassow Walls\, Professor Emerita University of Notre Dame and author of Henry David Thoreau: A Life\, presents on the influence that Vedic literature had on the Transcendentalists.  Professor Walls reveals how ancient literature of India transcended boundaries – both geographic and temporal – to imbue itself in Thoreau’s life to the point that Walden reads\, at times\, like a successor in the tradition of Hindu philosophy.  \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nRegister using the form below.
