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: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. Tickets purchased after May 28 or at the door are $35 Concord Museum Members\, $40 Non-Members.\n\n \nThank you to all our 2018 Garden Tour Sponsors!!\nGarden Sponsors:\n\n  \n\n       \n             \n \n\n\n           \n\n\n2018 Contributor Sponsors\n\n  \n     \n\n                \n             \n2018 Business Partners\n\n        \n\n2018 Media Sponsors\n\n \n2018 Friend Sponsors\nCOGdesign \n\n\nThe Senkler Team
