Exciting news from our friends over in Arlington at the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum!
The Dallin Museum's archives are now online! Search the extensive papers of Cyrus Dallin's biographer, Rell Francis, who accumulated hundreds of valuable primary source materials over the course of three-decades researching Dallin. The organization, cataloging, and digitization of this collection was made possible by a state grant facilitated by Representative Sean Garballey and a preservation grant from the Town of Arlington, MA Community Preservation Act. We are also currently digitizing Cyrus Dallin's personal archive, now on long term loan to the Museum from Robbins Library. This work is also supported by a Community Preservation Act grant. New materials are being uploaded frequently, so check back often! https://dallin.org/collection/

Join Paul Revere House for Part #2 of the Paul Revere House's 2023 Lowell Lecture Series.

This lecture explores the Church of England's interventions in the Puritan North End with Old North's founding in 1723.

The Paul Revere Memorial Association presents a talk about the Stamp Act Riots. On the night of August 26, 1765, a mob attacked Thomas Hutchinson’s house on Garden Court Street, just off North Square in Boston. By the next morning, all of his possessions (and those of his servants) had either been carried off by rioters or were left shattered in the street. The detailed inventory of the contents that he submitted, hoping to be reimbursed by the Crown, provides a unique insight into what life was like inside a great North End townhouse on the eve of the Revolution.
Many of our full, part time, and former staffers are attending the New England Museum Association annual conference (the centennial!!) this week in Stamford, CT and we all enjoyed seeing our Executive Director, Nina Zannieri speak during the keynote this morning. And THEN we enjoyed watching her get literally (and figuratively) lifted up by and with colleagues during the performance piece of the session. Onwards and upwards as we look to our next 100 years of museum work together as a community! #NEMA100 #NEMA2018
