SUMMARY:Feeding the Fire: The Mishoon Project
DESCRIPTION:Beginning on Sunday\, September 4th\, The Wayside Inn Foundation (TWIF) will oversee\, in conjunction with Ockway Bay Wampum (OBW) and No Loose Braids (NLB)\, the building of a mishoon on the east side of the property\, across from Josephine’s Pond. We anticipate that this will take approximately ten (10) days to make\, from start to finish. A celebration (free and open to the public) to float the canoe will take place on Saturday\, September 17th starting at noon. \nWhat is a mishoon?\nA mishoon is a canoe made from a fresh pine log shaped through a process of monitored burning\, using Indigenous techniques that span millennia. The burning process can take 7-10 days or longer\, depending on the size of the pine tree used for the canoe. \nWhy build a mishoon at The Wayside Inn?\nThe Wayside Inn Historic Site sits on the traditional\, ancestral land of the Nipmuc people. When we began researching the Indigenous history of our site\, we reached out to representatives of the Nipmuc and Mashpee Wampanoag to explore opportunities for collaboration. The mishoon project was proposed as a teaching tool for the community to learn about one aspect of Native American culture while simultaneously training Indigenous youth in the mishoon-making tradition. \nWho will be making the mishoon?\nThe building of the mishoon will be monitored and managed by our Nipmuc and Mashpee Wampanoag partners\, Andre Strongbearheart Gaines\, Jr. of NLB\, and Hartman Deetz of OBW. They will work alongside a team of Indigenous apprentices to ensure the continuation of the mishoon-making tradition with future generations. \nWhere on the site is the mishoon being made?\nThe mishoon burning will occur on the east side of The Wayside Inn site at the head of the Innkeeper’s Loop trail\, near the Ice House and across from Josephine’s Pond. A trail map is available at https://bit.ly/WITrailMap. \nCan I see the mishoon in person while it is being made?\nYes! The public is welcome to stop by\, see the progress\, and watch the process during the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. daily until the mishoon is finished. We only ask that visitors be mindful of the posted rules. \nTWIF will also be hosting the following structured programs: \n\nFriday\, September 9 (7:30 – 10:00 p.m.) – Community Night Program (Details TBA. This program will involve cooking over the mishoon fire).\nSaturday\, September 10 (10:00 a.m. – noon) – Family Program (Details TBA. This program will be designed for families.)\nSunday\, September 11 (2:00 – 4:00 p.m.) – Family Program (Details TBA. This program will be designed for families.)\nSaturday\, September 17 (noon – 2:00) – Mishoon Launch and Celebration\n\nAll programs are FREE\, and no registration is required. Parking is available in the East Field near Josephine’s Pond. \nWhat if I can’t visit while the mishoon is being made?\nWe will be documenting the process on video and will also live stream midway through the project with questions provided by school-age children! Questions from kids may be emailed to education@wayside.org now through September 2nd. After the project is finished\, we will post the videos on our YouTube channel and share them on our social media pages. \nCan I volunteer to help?\nYes! We are recruiting a limited number of volunteers to help transport firewood\, replenish water supplies\, and assist in other ways throughout the project. Volunteering is a great way to learn about mishoons and Indigenous traditions through a hands-on experience. To sign up\, please visit https://bit.ly/mishoon-volunteers.

SUMMARY:Art Ramble: "In the Balance"
DESCRIPTION:September 1 – November 13\nHapgood Wright Town Forest\, Concord\, MA\nHours: 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset \nArtist Reception & Walkabout\nSaturday\, September 17\, 4:30-5:30PM\nRain Date: Sunday\, September 18\, 4:30-5:30PM\nFree and open to the public \n“In the Balance” is an outdoor exhibition of dynamic artworks that express a striving to regain balance with their surroundings\, and to bridge the growing chasm between the loss of habitat and life’s persistence. The acceleration of climate change has reached the point of overpowering and upsetting the carefully balanced ecosystems of our surviving forests.

SUMMARY:MHC Virtual Workshops for Local Communities
DESCRIPTION:MHC’s Local Government Programs Coordinator\, Jenn Doherty\, hosts a regular series of virtual workshops on topics important to local Historical and Historic District Commission members and municipal staff. See below for upcoming workshops; new workshops are posted every three to four months. Contact Jenn at Jennifer.Doherty@sec.state.ma.us for more information. \nWhen registering for a workshop\, attendees can choose to attend live (receive the Zoom link and attend at the time noted) or only receive a recording after the workshop has ended. Live workshop attendees will automatically receive a recording and do not need to register for both tickets. \nIntroduction to MACRIS and MACRIS Maps\nFriday\, September 9\, 10 am \nThe MHC maintains two public\, free websites to provide information about documented cultural resources in Massachusetts: the Massachusetts Cultural Resources Information System (MACRIS) and MACRIS Maps. This workshop will review the new MACRIS interface\, debuted in early 2022\, and MACRIS Maps. Learn more about what kinds of information are included in MACRIS\, how to operate the search filters to quickly find what you’re looking for\, and how your local historical commission or planning department might make use of the information in MACRIS and MACRIS Maps. Register for this workshop. \nHistoric Resources Survey and the National Register of Historic Places\nMonday\, September 19\, 7 pm \nOne of the most important tasks a local historical commission can undertake is to identify and evaluate the community’s historic resources. This is primarily done through survey and inventory work\, which documents historic resources on standardized forms produced by the Massachusetts Historical Commission. Then you can evaluate your historic resources for potential listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Learn more about the survey process and National Register designation in this workshop\, and especially how the two work hand-in-hand to help you deepen your understanding of your local historic resources. Register for this workshop. \nBecoming a Certified Local Government\nTuesday\, October 4\, 1 pm \nFor communities with a higher level of preservation knowledge and activity\, the National Park Service offers the Certified Local Government (CLG) program. This agreement between the Park Service\, the Massachusetts Historical Commission\, and the local community allows for more local involvement in historic preservation activities at the state and federal levels. Massachusetts currently has 27 CLGs. This workshop will cover the requirements and application process for becoming a CLG as well as the benefits. \nPlease note: you must have a local historic district to become a CLG.  Communities without a local historic district may attend this workshop to learn more about the CLG program\, but you must establish a local historic district before applying for CLG status. Register for this workshop. \nIntroduction to Historic Preservation\nFriday\, October 21\, 1 pm \nYou were appointed to a local historical commission or historic district commission – now what? This workshop will cover the basics to help you be an educated commissioner familiar with the terminology and programs of the historic preservation field. There will be a high-level discussion of the key historic preservation tools\, but their details and implementation processes will be covered in other workshops. You will come away from the presentation being able to speak knowledgeably about your commission and its role in the community\, and having a sense of how to develop a work plan for your commission. Register for this workshop. \nArchitectural Styles\, Forms\, and Building Technologies of Massachusetts\nTuesday\, November 1\, 10 am \nMany local commission members may have a wealth of knowledge about their community’s history\, but feel less sure speaking about their community’s architecture. This workshop will provide a very high-level overview of residential house forms\, architectural styles\, and changes in building technology found in Massachusetts. Ranging from the First Period of settlement to the early 20th century\, this workshop will allow you to better identify the historic resources in your community\, more accurately date them\, and set them into a larger context so you can evaluate their significance. Register for this workshop. \nState and Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits\nMonday\, November 14\, 1 pm \nHistoric rehabilitation tax credits are available at both the state and federal levels for income-producing properties listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.  These two tax credit programs have been used extensively to revitalize significant historic structures in communities throughout Massachusetts. In this workshop you will learn more about how the two programs work (and often work together)\, what kinds of buildings might qualify\, and how your local historical commission may be involved in the application process. Please note that this workshop is for local historical commission members and municipal staff\, not those interested in applying for the tax credits. Register for this workshop. \nEstablishing Local Historic Districts\nWednesday\, November 30\, 7 pm \nLocal historic districts provide one of the strongest forms of protection for historic properties in Massachusetts. This workshop will cover the process by which communities can establish local historic districts under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40C. Learn all about the outreach process\, the legalities of establishing local districts\, completing a Study Report\, and making it through Town Meeting or City Council. This workshop will focus exclusively on establishing local historic districts; administration of local historic districts and design review are covered in a separate workshop. Register for this workshop. \nInfill Construction in Local Historic Districts\nThursday\, December 15\, 11 am \nOne of the biggest struggles for local historic district commissions is reviewing proposals for new construction. The Secretary’s Standards say that new construction should be compatible with historic materials and designs while also distinguishable as new construction – but what does that mean in practical terms? In this workshop we will discuss the Standards and different approaches to reviewing infill construction in local historic districts\, with an eye towards developing projects that support and protect the overall historic character of the district. Register for this workshop.

SUMMARY:King Phillips War and The Sudbury Fight
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person or online on September 22nd as public historian Richard Smith presents his lecture on “King Philip’s War and The Sudbury Fight” \nKing Philip’s War is considered by many historians to be the deadliest war in Colonial American history. In the space of little more than a year\, 12 towns were destroyed\, the colonial economy was all but ruined and the population was decimated. Sudbury itself was the scene of a brutal battle in April 1676 between the town’s Puritan settlers and the area’s Nipmuc warriors. \nYet\, few people outside of New England know about King Philip’s War. More than 2\,500 colonists died\, while at least twice as many Native Americans were killed; the war effectively ended Native American resistance in New England. Public historian Richard Smith will discuss the causes of the war\, how it affected both the colonists and indigenous people of Sudbury\, and the ramifications of what has been called the greatest calamity in seventeenth-century New England. \nRichard Smith is a public historian in Concord\, Massachusetts and has written six books for Applewood Books. He has lectured on and written about 17th\, 18th and 19th Century United States history\, Transcendentalism\, and 19th-century American literature since 1995. \nTickets are available at eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Determined to Know Beans: A Biological & Historical Saunter of Thoreau’s Bean Field at Walden Pond
DESCRIPTION:In 1845 Henry David Thoreau moved to Walden Pond to begin his two-year experiment in simple living in a small\, one-room house that he built himself. Thoreau also planted and maintained a garden of “two acres and a half of light and sandy soil” in which he grew beans. Thoreau left the Pond in 1847 and died in 1862; throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century\, the exact location of his beanfield was either forgotten by local historians or the site was misidentified. It wasn’t until the 1990s that historian Bradley Dean identified the exact location of the beanfield. \nJoin us for an interpretive walk to Thoreau’s beanfield at Walden Pond with historian Richard Smith and biologist Dr. Amity Wilczek. The walk will cover Thoreau’s experiences at the field and the history of the beanfield both during and after Thoreau’s time. Then\, we will cover the biological and botanical history of the beanfield; how it looked when Thoreau was there and how it’s changed since then\, including the plants that Thoreau would and would not be familiar with\, including invasives.
