SUMMARY:"Our Paradise at Concord": How Hawthorne Found Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Nathaniel Hawthorne cherished his years at the Old Manse\, where he and his wife Sophia lived from 1842 to 1845. How did the moody Salemite find happiness in Concord? Surveying Hawthorne’s private life and published fiction\, historian John Frederick Bell will explain how Hawthorne’s adopted home shaped his worldview. \nJohn Frederick Bell is an interdisciplinary historian at Assumption College specializing in race\, religion\, and social reform and the history of education. His current research examines the politics of racial pluralism within Civil War-era interracial colleges\, asking why these social experiments failed to curb prejudice. His work has appeared in Education’s Histories\, Journal of the Civil War Era\, History of Education Quarterly\, and (forthcoming) Journal of the Early Republic. His teaching interests include undergraduate writing and research methods\, education studies\, and historical and contemporary social issues. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member.

SUMMARY:Concord Collects
DESCRIPTION:Concord Collects featured twenty remarkable works of art from four Concord private collections being displayed together for the first time. These collections have been formed thoughtfully over decades by an equally remarkable group of collectors whose broad-ranging interests come into sharp focus with each selection made. \n  \nAs a complement to this exhibition in the Wallace Kane Gallery\, an adjacent gallery–the Gross Family Gallery–showcased some of the most outstanding clocks\, furniture\, needlework\, silver\, and other items that the Concord Museum has collected in the recent past\, including in many instances the finest known examples of each of those media. \n  \nConcord Collects was the first exhibition presented in the Museum following the construction of the Anna and Neil Rasmussen Education Center and renovations to the Gund and Little buildings. \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Join the waitlist: 7th Annual Sally Lanagan Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Will of the People: The Revolutionary Birth of America\nSOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist by completing the form at the bottom of the page.  We will inform you if any space becomes available for the lecture. Thank you. \nA prize-winning historian provides the missing piece in the story of America’s founding\, introducing us to the ordinary men and women who turned a faltering rebellion against colonial rule into an unexpectedly potent and enduring revolution. \nOver eight years of war\, ordinary Americans accomplished something extraordinary. Far from the actions of the Continental Congress and the Continental Army\, they took responsibility for the course of the revolution. by taking up the reins of power but also setting its limits\, they ensured America’s success. Without their participation\, there would have been no victory over Great Britain\, no independence. The colonial rebellion would have ended like so many others – in failure. \nT. H. Breen is the John Kluge Professor of American Law and Governance at the Library of Congress and Founding Director of the Chabraja Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern University. A former Guggenheim Fellow\, he has taught American history at Oxford\, Cambridge\, and Yale universities and is the James Marsh Professor-at-Large at the University of Vermont. He is the author of many books\, including George Washington’s Journey\, winner of the History Prize of the Society of the Cincinnati and finalist for the George Washington’s Book Prize; and Marketplace of Revolution\, winner of the Society of Colonial Wars Book Award. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Book and Times Literary Supplement. \nFREE. Advanced registration required. The Lanagan Lecture is an annual lecture named for Sally Lanagan\, a beloved volunteer who was deeply involved with the Museum and had a passion for American art\, the decorative arts\, and historic preservation.
