SUMMARY:What Makes History? New Stories from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:What Makes History? New Stories from the Collection\n\n\n\n\nThe things we keep matter for the stories we tell. What objects do we choose to preserve\, and who is able to collect them? Why were they once valued\, and how can we continue to see them in new ways? \nThis special exhibition explores what it means to make history through object collecting\, preservation\, and storytelling. Visitors will see a variety of collections from the Museum’s holdings\, offering the rare opportunity to look closely at several kinds of a particular item. By displaying these eclectic collections together\, What Makes History encourages visitors to think about how and why these objects were saved so that we might view them decades and even centuries later. \nHighlights include a sampling of the Museum’s vast collection of fans from around the world\, beautifully painted fireplace bellows produced by free Black workers in Acton\, MA\, in the 19th century\, as well as chairs\, textiles\, card cases\, and timepieces. Many of these objects have never before been on view. \nWe invite you to come look closely at these remarkable items\, join us as we ask new questions\, and consider how we can continue to expand what makes history together. \nSupported by WBUR. \nBellow Tops\, Davis Bellows Factory\, mid-1840s\, Acton\, Ma. Concord Museum Collection\, Gift of Lawrence Sorli; 2022.1.

SUMMARY:Portrait Mode
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:29th Annual Family Trees
DESCRIPTION:29th Annual Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature\n\n\n\n\n\nThis annual family-focused event celebrates children’s books and a love of reading throughdozens of decorated story trees. Crafted by talented local volunteers and organizations\,each tree features hand-made decorations inspired by a picture book.  Visitors can explore the artistic trees and families can sit and read together or do a festive scavenger hunt.  Experience – in an entirely unique way – both beloved classic stories and new books from award-winning local authors and illustrators.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s honorary chair is author and illustrator Micha Archer. “What a wonderful tradition! Years ago I decorated the Family Trees BIG tree for a book I illustrated called Lola’s Fandango by Anna Witte\, about a little girl learning Flamenco from her dad. I covered the tree with flamenco dancers and polka dots! What a fun way to draw a child into a story! This year I am so honored that my new book What’s New Daniel? will be brought alive for this magical event!” \n\n\n\nOn Sunday\, December 15\, join us for Authors & Illustrators Day and a special visit from costumed characters. \n\n\n\nVisit Family Trees Tuesday to Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm or Saturday and Sunday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
