SUMMARY:Adult Lecture Series: Laying their Hands to the Spindle: Women’s Spinning Protests\, 1768-1770
DESCRIPTION:Women\, Spinning\, and Resistance: Stacey Fraser \nIn the years leading up to the American Revolution\, New England women played an important role in resisting British policies through their everyday lives and work. On August 31\, 1769\, forty-five women in Lexington\, Massachusetts\, gathered for a spinning protest—one of more than sixty such demonstrations held throughout New England between 1768 and 1770. By spinning wool and linen yarn together\, these women demonstrated their ability to produce the textiles needed by their families while rejecting reliance on imported British goods. \nJoin Stacey Fraser for a fascinating look at how women used their social roles\, domestic skills\, and community networks to participate in the growing resistance to British rule. Discover how these seemingly everyday acts of spinning and boycotting became powerful forms of protest in the years leading up to the American Revolutionary War. \nAbout the Speaker:\nStacey Fraser is Assistant Curator at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in Lexington\, Massachusetts. She recently curated an exhibition exploring Lexington’s role in the American Revolution and chaired the museum’s 50th anniversary committee. Stacey also serves on the advisory board of LexSeeHer\, a Lexington nonprofit dedicated to making women visible in history. Previously\, she served as Curator and Outreach Manager at Lexington History Museums and as Co-Director and Educator at the Ipswich Museum\, among other New England institutions. \nEntry Included with Museum Admission| September 18th | 12:00 PM | Adult Event

SUMMARY:COME FROM AWAY!
DESCRIPTION:COME FROM AWAY is a moving and uplifting musical based on the true story of what happened in the small town of Gander\, Newfoundland\, on September 11\, 2001.

With a vibrant\, folk-inspired score and a fast-paced\, ensemble-driven narrative\, COME FROM AWAY captures the tensions\, culture clashes\, and eventual camaraderie that unfolded over several unforgettable days. This Tony® Award-winning musical celebrates the best of the human spirit and the extraordinary capacity for good in the face of crisis.
