SUMMARY:The Lincoln Memorial Illustrated
DESCRIPTION:Last Chance: Closing Day is Sunday\, February 26\n“‘The Lincoln Memorial Illustrated\,’ at the Concord Museum\, observes the centennial of an American temple of democracy.” — Boston Globe\nOne of the most revered and visited sites in Washington\, D.C. and in the nation\, the Lincoln Memorial is now a century old. Dedicated on May 30\, 1922\, it was designed by architect Henry Bacon and Concord sculptor Daniel Chester French\, and it has served as a gathering place for some of the most significant and symbolic events of the past one hundred years. It has come to represent the nation’s hopes and challenges\, providing an iconic backdrop for civic expression relating to democracy and human rights. \nTo celebrate its centennial\, this exhibition explores the planning and construction of the Lincoln Memorial through illustrations\, sculpture\, archival materials\, and ephemera\, and it traces its role as a symbolic site in illustrations\, political cartoons\, and popular culture. The exhibition features works by numerous artists from the past century\, including Norman Rockwell\, Daniel Chester French\, Henry Bacon\, Tony Bennett\, Istvan Banyai\, and others. \n  \n \n  \nThe Lincoln Memorial Illustrated is a collaboration of the Norman Rockwell Museum and Chesterwood. It will be on view at the Concord Museum from September 30\, 2022-February 26\, 2023. \nImage: Istvan Banyai Set in Stone\, 2008 Illustration for Set in Stone: Abraham Lincoln and the Politics of Memory by Thomas Mallon\, The New Yorker\, October 13\, 2008. \n

SUMMARY:Liberty and Loyalty: Embroidered Coats of Arms in an Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In 1775\, Mary Jones of Weston Massachusetts watched her life collapse around her as her family\, all supporters of the British Crown\, fled their homes and had their immense fortune confiscated during the Revolution. Among what she had left to remember them was a mostly finished needlework sampler displaying the Jones family coat of arms. Years later\, she returned to Massachusetts and settled in Concord\, where this sampler now resides in the collection of the Concord Museum. \nErica Lome\, PhD\, Associate Curator at Historic New England\, uses this needlework as a starting point to survey the history of embroidered coats of arms worked in Boston in the late eighteenth century. More than an accomplishment of a genteel education\, heraldic needlework was created by young women to document their family genealogy\, a practice that endured through war\, exile\, and independence. Join us to hear more stories about needlework\, women\, family\, and legacy in an age of Revolution. \nThis program is being held in-person at the Concord Museum.  Please register using the form below. \n  \nFeatured Image: Needlework by Mary Jones\, 1760-1770.
