SUMMARY:Interwoven: Women's Lives Written in Thread
DESCRIPTION:Our current special exhibition\, Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread\, highlights needlework produced by young women in New England and specifically the extraordinary collection of samplers at the Concord Museum. Featuring 30 samplers sewn in the early 1700s to mid-1800s\, Interwoven explores how young women created records of their own lives and experiences\, written in thread. \nThe exhibition explores the history of needlework and embroidery\, its importance as an art form\, and its significance to women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Intended to showcase young women’s accomplishments\, the samplers also communicate details of their lives and education\, their communities\, and their families. The exhibition provides a unique view into their private lives. For most of these young women\, their samplers are the only objects that survive from their lives. Many of the samplers have never been displayed before. \nLearn about the education of privileged young women in the early republic and understand how wealth and enslaved labor enabled them to pursue decorative arts. Explore the materials used in constructing samplers\, such as linens\, dyes and silk\, and how and where these materials were produced. View samplers that demonstrate how women recorded family history and the loss of loved ones through needlework. Understand how they incorporated the importance of community and a strong sense of place in their samplers. \nThe gallery includes areas for hands-on and interactive activities. Exhibition programs connect the history of samplers to contemporary work through visiting artists\, demonstrations\, workshops\, and more. \nImage credit: Detail of Sampler by Phebe Bliss\, 1749.

SUMMARY:Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America
DESCRIPTION:Leila Philip\, professor of English at the College of the Holy Cross\, highlights how beavers played an oversized role in American history and how they can play an important role in its future.  Beaverland is a poignant personal narrative\, a startling portrait of the secretive world of the contemporary fur trade\, and an engrossing ecological and historical investigation of these heroic animals who\, once trapped to the point of extinction\, have returned to the landscape as one of the greatest conservation stories of the 20th century. \n \nProfessor Philip will be joined in conversation by Richard Primack\, Professor of Biology at Boston University\, whose research in conservation biology utilizes historical field notes from Henry David Thoreau and current observations to study how climate change affects the timing of seasonal biological events. \nRegister using the form below. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nBooks are available for sale and signing thanks to our partners at the Concord Bookshop.
