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.

SUMMARY:We Were Friends Play - And Then: Late Night
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 of which are being shown 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 episode And Then: Late Night\, we invite you to spy on Margaret and Waldo early in their friendship\, on a restless night in Waldo’s garage. Bring a picnic and blanket and join Margaret and Waldo on the Museum’s front lawn for this outdoor performance. $10 Member | $12 Non-Member (Receive a $2 discount if you purchase tickets to both performances in advance of the first performance)
