SUMMARY:Life in Menotomy: Aftermath of April 19\, 1775
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand! \nThe bloody events that unfolded in Menotomy (now Arlington) on the first day of the American Revolution have often been recounted in detail. But what happened after the British troops withdrew? How did this rural precinct of Cambridge recover from the violence of April 19\, 1775\, and carry on while war continued just miles away in Boston? \nFor Menotomy’s residents\, the aftermath of battle brought the challenge of resuming everyday life in a community shaken by violence. Families still had to support themselves\, maintain their households\, and care for their neighbors\, even as the conflict’s outcome remained uncertain. \nJoin renowned historian Richard A. Duffy for an encore presentation of this special lecture\, as he examines this often-overlooked chapter of Greater Boston’s history and the lives of its people during the early years of the American Revolution. \nRegistration Required: HERE

SUMMARY:The Web they Wove Women and their Wardrobes during New Englands Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Underpinning the sensationalism of battle reports and broadsides is the often-silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The choices they made every day about fashion and fabric consumption and creation drove the course of the revolution just as determinedly as any Congress. As southern New England commemorates the 250th anniversary of the War for Independence\, it is these local dresses in fulled wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity\, resilience and empathy in us today. From the mythology of homespun to the legends of midnight rides in red cloaks and clashes the dirty blue shirts share stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts as well as a look at what they wore as their worlds turned upside down. This program is presented by costumed historians and includes reproduction clothing pieces and fabric samples as well as a presentation with images of extant originals.
