SUMMARY:The Underground Railroad in Essex County
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon Enrichment for Adults:\nThe underground railroad in essex county\n\nJoin historian Gordon Harris for a fascinating look at the Underground Railroad in Essex County\, MA. \nIn the 19th century\, a secret network helping those escaping slavery\, known as the Underground Railroad\, ran north along the coast from Boston through Lynn and Marblehead to Salem\, where it split into three trails: One through Danvers\, Andover\, Lawrence\, and across the New Hampshire line; another by way of Danvers\, Georgetown\, and Haverhill. The third route went through Beverly\, where Dr. Ingalls Kittredge tirelessly managed the transportation of fugitives. \nFrom Beverly\, the freedom seekers were transported to the zealous anti-slavery workers in Ipswich\, continuing to Newbury\, Newburyport\, West Newbury\, and Amesbury\, and then escorted into New Hampshire. \nFrom 1831 to 1865\, William Lloyd Garrison published The Liberator\, which was dedicated to the immediate abolition of slavery. A native of Newburyport\, he founded the influential American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. Men’s and women’s anti-slavery societies formed in many of the towns of the North Shore\, a hotbed of the anti-slavery movement. \nAfternoon Enrichment Series • Included with general museum admission • Ages: Adults • Registration not required \nAbout Gordon Harris:\nGordon Harris grew up in Mississippi and has lived in Massachusetts since graduating from Millsaps College in 1971. In Ipswich\, he is the Town Historian\, the coordinator of the Ipswich Visitor Center\, a member of the Ipswich Historical Society\, and is a former chair of the Ipswich Historical Commission. His websites\, Historic Ipswich and Historic Massachusetts\, are viewed by several hundred thousand visitors to the sites each year. \n\n

SUMMARY:Freedom Suits and the Abolition of Slavery in MA
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon Enrichment for Adults with Dr. Anna Suryani:\n“Freedom Suits and the Abolition of Slavery in Massachusetts in the 1780s” \nOne of the earliest states to abolish slavery was Massachusetts\, which prohibited the institution from 1783. This came about when two enslaved individuals\, Elizabeth Freeman and Quock Walker\, and their lawyers\, were successful in challenging their enslavement before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court\, based on the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution\, which promised “unalienable rights” and “liberty” to all. These lawsuits also built on earlier freedom suits in Massachusetts\, including twenty-one filed in Essex County alone between 1765 and 1783. \nAbout Dr. Anna Suryani: Dr. Suranyi is a Professor of History at Endicott College. Her research interests lie in the history of the Atlantic world\, focusing on the culture of ordinary people during the early modern period (1450-1789). Her current research investigates the lives of indentured servants in the seventeenth-century British colonies.  \n\n\nAfternoon Enrichment Series • Included with general museum admission • Ages: Adults • Registration not required

SUMMARY:Henry Knox and the Noble Train of Artillery
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Lane presents: “The Resources of His Genius Supplied the Deficit of Means” — Henry Knox and the Noble Train of Artillery \nJoin historian Jonathan Lane\, Executive Director of Revolution 250\, for a fascinating talk on one of the most remarkable stories of the American Revolution. \n250 years ago\, a 25-year-old Boston bookseller named Henry Knox undertook one of the most extraordinary feats of the American Revolution. Tasked by General George Washington with retrieving artillery from the recently captured Fort Ticonderoga\, Knox set out across the winter wilderness of New York and New England to transport more than 60 tons of heavy cannon\, mortars\, and shot to the siege lines surrounding Boston. Using over 150 teams of horses and oxen\, Knox and his men dragged the guns across frozen lakes\, snow-choked mountains\, and half-frozen rivers. His “Noble Train of Artillery” not only demonstrated the ingenuity and resolve of the young Continental Army\, but also provided the means by which Washington forced the British evacuation of Boston—an achievement born from courage\, intellect\, and sheer determination. \nAfternoon Enrichment Series • Included with general museum admission • Ages: Adults • Registration not required \nAbout Jonathan Lane: Jonathan Lane\, Executive Director of Revolution 250 has more than 30 years’ experience in public history\, tourism and cultural programming. Revolution 250 is a consortium of more than 70 organizations across the Commonwealth\, working together on the commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. While his employment has led him to many leading institutions\, including Plimoth-Patuxet\, the American Antiquarian Society\, Berklee College of Music and the Massachusetts Historical Society\, his historical studies have taken him to libraries and archives throughout the U.S. and United Kingdom. He is the author of a monograph on songs for British Soldiers in the 18th century\, and is the editor of From the Potomac to the Etowah\, the Civil War Correspondence of Alonzo Hall Quint. Mr. Lane was awarded the “Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism Revolutionary Achievement Award” from Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy in March of 2024. Jonathan is a member of the Society of the Cincinnati\, the Sons of the American Revolution\, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and the Alden Kindred of America.

DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Women’s History Month by attending this interactive and educational performance about one of the most impactful women of our lifetime. \nShe was a true icon\, inspiring people around the world with her strength\, courage\, resilience\, and dedication to a life of service. For 70 years\, she remained a constant presence as sovereign\, shepherding the people of the UK through both joyful times and darker periods of challenge and uncertainty.

She will be remembered for her calm and dignity and as someone everyone in the world could look up to\, and she could be a unifying figure.  She was more than a monarch. She defined an era. \nThe show\, intended for ages 9 & up\, is 50 minutes long followed by Q & A. \nQueen Elizabeth II is presented by Sheryl Faye.  Learn more about Sheryl Faye’s historical character performances online here. \nTickets\nIncluded with Admission ($10 Adults\, $8 Seniors & Children)\nFree for Members
