SUMMARY:Newburyport's Road to Independence\, Part I: The Long\, Dark Winter of 1776
DESCRIPTION:Historian Alexander Cain returns to Newburyport to explore one of the most tense and transformative moments in American history in this engaging lecture on Massachusetts and Newburyport in early 1776. As the Siege of Boston drags through a bitter winter\, he will discuss civilian suffering inside the town\, the controversial use of smallpox in efforts to break the stalemate\, and the evolving roles of the militia and the Continental Army. He then turns to Newburyport’s own story: the growing rumblings of independence\, the dangerous position of Loyalists\, and the unleashing of the town’s most potent weapon in support of the American cause: its “wolfpack” fleet of privateers\, which struck at the heart of British supply lines and reshaped Newburyport’s economy and identity on land and at sea. \nAlex has authored numerous research articles and presentations on the American Revolution\, including the Battles of Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill\, the Siege of Boston\,Massachusetts privateers and the experiences of New England and New York loyalist refugees during the Burgoyne Campaign. In addition\, he has published two books: We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution and I See Nothing but the Horrors of a Civil War: The Loyalists of McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers. He is also the creator of the blog and podcast Historical Nerdery (historicalnerdery.com). Currently\, he is in the process of writing his next book\, “For God’s Sake\, Fire!” – The Massachusetts Militia System on the Eve of the Battles of Lexington and Concord\, which is anticipated to be released in 2027.\nFunded\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism

SUMMARY:Altus
DESCRIPTION:Led by visionary trumpeter and composer Dave Adewumi\, Altus is a dynamic quintet redefining the modern jazz experience. Whether on stage in an intimate club or a concert hall\, Altus delivers performances that are immersive\, adventurous\, and profoundly human. Their sound invites audiences to listen beyond genre—to experience jazz not only as music\, but as a living myth. \nFree\, reservations encouraged.\nLocation: Ipswich High School \nFormed from long-standing musical friendships\, the ensemble’s chemistry is palpable. Adewumi’s luminous trumpet leads dialogues with saxophones\, bass\, and drums that blur the boundaries between structure and spontaneity. Each performance unfolds like a story—alive with surprise\, tension\, and release—drawing listeners into a journey of sound that feels both ancient and urgently new. Their debut album\, Mythos (Biophilia Records)\, captures the group’s creative ethos. Inspired by Greek and Yoruba mythology\, the music explores themes of creation\, rebellion\, and transcendence\, reflecting Adewumi’s deep curiosity about the connections between narrative and sound. The result is music that is at once cerebral and visceral\, rich in emotional nuance yet unafraid of risk. \nA rising voice in the contemporary jazz landscape\, Adewumi has performed alongside some of today’s leading artists\, earning recognition for his distinctive tone and expressive approach. With Altus\, he channels that artistry into a collective vision—one that celebrates improvisation as a form of storytelling and performance as a shared act of imagination.

SUMMARY:Family Explorer: Winter Wildlife Walk at Crane Beach
DESCRIPTION:A CraneExplorer Family Winter Wildlife Walk will take you on a stroll through the Crane Beach dunes while learning about some of the plants and animals that call this special place home. You may be familiar with Crane Beach\, but have you ever visited the dune trails? The dunes of Castle Neck are a much less explored world unto themselves. They offer one of the most accessible dune landscapes in New England and trails that provide a firsthand look into the delicate and ever-changing dune habitat. This includes numerous lookouts offering stunning views of Choate Island and the varied ecosystems of Castle Neck\, including Pitch Pine forests and naturally occurring cranberry bogs. \nThe Family Explorer hiking series will get you and your young explorers outside and moving at Trustees properties across the Northeast Region. These family-friendly hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look\, listen\, and learn from our Outdoor Guides. Some hikes will start with a story\, hands-on demonstration\, or explorers’ challenge to spark curiosity before hitting the trail. \nSign up for one\, or get a discount if you sign up for three or more in the series. Contact Craneoutdoors@thetrustees.org for discount code.

SUMMARY:Kids' Free Week: Self-Guided Tours
DESCRIPTION:Discover\, Explore\, and Learn at Hammond Castle Museum this February School Vacation Week! \nLet your child’s imagination soar and join us as we welcome school-age children to explore the home and innovative legacy of one of America’s most prolific inventors\, John Hays Hammond Jr. Dive into the world of science\, technology\, and creativity with self-guided tours that allow visitors to move through the Museum’s galleries at their own pace. \nPlease note: There are no tour admissions on the morning of Friday\, February 20th\, as we will be hosting an Arms & Armor program presented by our Curatorial Director\, John Leysath. \nLittle ones can embark on an animal-themed adventure designed to keep them engaged throughout the Museum. Older kids will love engaging with our digital panel featuring original games inspired by Hammond and his contemporaries’ groundbreaking innovations\, such as ‘Frequency Hoppers’\, which brings history and science to life in a fun and interactive way. Let them experiment with sound in the whispering gallery\, marvel at Hammond’s inventive spirit\, and explore the Museum’s unique passages and rooms showcasing a blend of science\, history\, and art. \nAs a repeated Reader’s Choice Best of North Shore winner by Northshore Magazine and a TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice award recipient for the last four consecutive years\, you can trust that your visit will be an unforgettable experience.
