SUMMARY:Adventures In History - Saving What Could Be Lost (HYBRID)
DESCRIPTION:Walter McClennen has written a number of “short histories” on a broad variety of topics pertaining to family\, friends\, community and issues both social and political. His latest book\, Looking East\, is a collection of the best of these short histories selected from his writing of the past twenty years. In this presentation\, Walter shared what he terms “history adventures” based on\, among other things\, the birth of a grandchild\, the purchase of an antique house\, and the discovery of a ribbon-tied packet of letters in a trunk. In Walter’s words\, “Each one is its own tale\, but each is equally important as an example of good ways to approach “saving history” for future generations. He hopes the audience takes away a new enthusiasm for recording the many personal family and local histories that surround all of us.” \nThis is a hybrid program\, in-person in the Community Room and also on Zoom. Please register to receive the Zoom link. \nCosponsored by the Sherborn Library and the Sherborn Historical Society.  \nRegistration Required

SUMMARY:Discovering New England Stonewalls With Kevin Gardner
DESCRIPTION:Kevin’s informal talk covers a few of the main topics of his book about New England stone walls\, The Granite Kiss (Countryman Press)\, touching on history\, technique\, stylistic development\, and aesthetics. He explains how and why New England came to acquire its thousands of miles of stone walls\, the ways in which they and other dry stone structures were built\, how their styles emerged and changed overtime\, and their significance to the famous New England landscape. Other topics may include: differences in approach between historical and contemporary wall-builders\, a discussion of restoration tips and techniques\, and information about design\, acquisition of materials\, preservation\, and analysis. There is always a generous question-and-answer period\, during which listeners are encouraged to bring up specific problems or projects on their own properties. Along the way\, Kevin occupies himself building a miniature wall or walls on a tabletop\, using tiny stones from a five-gallon bucket. He often brings along his collection of books about stonework\, and copies of The Granite Kiss will be available for sale\, as well as his most recent book\, Stone Building – How To Make New England Style Walls and Other Structures The Old Way. \nSince the publication of The Granite Kiss\, Kevin has presented his program at dozens of historical societies\, bookstores\, and town libraries all over New England\, including Canterbury Shaker Village\, the NH Historical Society\, Castle-in-the-Clouds\, Old Sturbridge Village\, Boston’s Arnold Arboretum\, and many\, many more. \nThis program is co-hosted by the Sherborn Library\, The Sherborn Historical Society and the Sherborn 350th Committee

SUMMARY:2024 MASS HISTORY CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:The nineteenth annual Mass History Conference\, History Is For Everyone\, will bring together people from all walks of life to engage in historical practice and to champion inclusivity in our historical landscape. For millennia\, history has been recorded through the lens of the privileged few – captured and controlled by the elite in private ivory towers. We now know that the best history work requires collective engagement\, collaborative efforts\, and diverse perspectives. This year’s conference will showcase stories about Massachusetts’ diverse communities and spotlight the projects and skills that give us models for telling these stories.
