SUMMARY:We Were Friends Play – Two Years In: Birthdays
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Firelight Theatre Workshop presents We Were Friends\, a playful reimagining of Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s profound friendship set in today’s world. In this 12-part series (two episodes of which are being performed at the Concord Museum this summer)\, Firelight explores the intimate and private moments of this deep\, platonic friendship. The series moves non-chronologically: each episode stands alone\, and yet each is a puzzle piece in the larger portrait of their friendship. In this first installment\, Two Years In: Birthdays\, we invite you to join Margaret and Waldo as they celebrate their birthdays on two distant picnic blankets. Margaret is suffering from a cold and indecision. Waldo\, a rising writer and speaker\, wonders about Beauty: is it always there\, or is there never enough of it? Bring your own picnic blanket and join Margaret and Waldo on the Museum’s front lawn for this outdoor performance. Following the performance\, writers and performers Nora Fifer and Jason Lambert and co-writer Henry Walters will participate in a talk-back with the audience. $10 Member | $12 Non-Member (Receive a $2 discount if you purchase tickets to both performances in advance of the first performance)

This town supported celebration is a formal recognition of the dignity and importance of this holiday for all residents of Concord and those who visit. \nThe Concord Select Board signed a proclamation which declared June 19\, 2023 Juneteenth National Independence Day. In addition\, an amendment to the flag policy was approved which provides for the flying of a Juneteenth flag with the American flag. We invite the Concord community to join us for celebratory events that honor our history and our community. \nFAQ\n\nJuneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining “June” and “nineteenth”\, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order\, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19\, 1865\, proclaiming freedom for the enslaved in Texas\, the last to freed.\nOriginating in Galveston\, Juneteenth has since been observed annually in various parts of the United States\, often broadly celebrating African American culture. The day was first recognized as a federal holiday in 2021\, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act\nTexans celebrated Juneteenth beginning in 1866 with community-centric events\, such as parades\, cookouts\, prayer gatherings\, historical and cultural readings\, and musical performances. Over time\, communities have developed their own traditions. Some communities purchased land for Juneteenth celebrations\, such as Emancipation Park in Houston\, Texas. As families emigrated from Texas to other parts of the United States\, they carried Juneteenth celebrations with them.\nJuneteenth National Independence Day commemorates the day of freedom for African Americans and acknowledges the resilience and determination of African Americans while honoring all those who have paved the road to freedom; and Juneteenth is a second Independence Day for our Nation\, a celebratory day of African American culture to recognize the many contributions and influence that the African American community has made to our Nation.\nThe Juneteenth flag was designed by activist Ben Haith\, the founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation (NJCF) in 1997.  The design was later refined to its current form by illustrator Lisa Jeanne Grafe.  The intentional call back to the Texas Lone Star in the middle represents the Lone Star State and all Black Americans in the US.  The red\, white\, and blue color scheme is a reminder that enslaved people and their descendants were and are\, Americans.  The arc shape represents a new horizon of hope and promise for Black American with the nova surrounding the star representing a new beginning for all.

SUMMARY:What Makes History? New Stories from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Open until August 18\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:What Makes History? New Stories from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Open until August 18\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.
