SUMMARY:Forging Independence | Building a Nation
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, the New Bedford Whaling Museum will open a new suite of conjoined galleries in that explore stories of independence\, struggle\, and citizenship in the region during the late colonial and early Republican period (1760-1830). \nForging Independence | Building a Nation introduces connections between historical events and pressing issues of today\, asking visitors to consider what ideas are embodied in the terms and ideas of Independence and Nationhood. Words like patriotism\, freedom\, taxation\, citizenship\, liberty\, equality\, justice\, tolerance\, and independence serve as keystones within the installation to encourage thoughtful engagement with concepts that transcend the past and directly connect with our present. Associations forged between objects\, concepts\, and individuals broach insightful civic-minded questions about what it means to be “American.” What did colonial citizens think America should or would be\, and how do we today continue to ask those questions and shape that outcome today? \nForging Independence | Building a Nation outlines important regional historical events of the American Revolution\, including the Boston Tea Party\, which happened on the locally built and owned vessel the Dartmouth\, and Grey’s raid\, encompassing the defense of Fort Phoenix\, the siege and burning of Bedford Village\, and the Bombardment of Fairhaven. The installation frames these war-time events within larger state-wide and national arcs\, including the Stamp Tax Crisis\, Battle of Bunker Hill\, Occupation of Boston\, Massachusetts statehood\, the adoption of the State Bill of Rights\, and early activities tied to nation building. What did it mean to discard a system of governance and colonial allegiance and establish a new country? How did people grapple with and make sense of the revolutionary period and what came after? What ideas and tenets became pillars of that era\, how are their legacies felt today\, and what complications or tensions arose in that space of negotiation? \nThe project relies on the Museum’s expansive permanent collection to center and share diverse stories and experiences from Massachusetts\, consider the promises and challenges of the American Revolution\, and makes connections between past and present. The exhibition utilizes artifacts and archival sources to illuminate the stories of a broad range of individuals\, from local merchants who skirted blockades and traded as privateers to the narratives of private citizens and regional residents\, including men\, women and children of different classes\, ages\, ethnic and racial backgrounds\, and status\, immigrants\, Indigenous people\, and enslaved and free people of color. The exhibition includes the voices and stories of those who served in the American militia\, were passionate Revolutionaries\, outright ambivalent about Independence\, or avid British Loyalists.

SUMMARY:Protest and Promise - The American Revolution in Lexington
DESCRIPTION:This ongoing exhibit highlights Lexington’s pivotal role in the American Revolution as the site of the conflict’s opening battle and a powerful symbol of colonial resistance to British rule. \nLexington’s significance lies not only in this first battle but also in what it represented. The town embodied the colonies’ growing determination to defend their rights and resist British authority.

SUMMARY:The Revolutionary Journey of William Rotch Sr.
DESCRIPTION:A special exhibition of selections from the Historical Graphic Novel Quaker Whaler Traitor Spy! by Dr. Sarah Crabtree\, Illustrated by Melissa Philley. \nWilliam Rotch was one of the unluckiest men of the eighteenth century.  Accused of treason four times by three governments in two decades (1775 – 1795)\, he became a cautionary tale for any who dared dissent.  A member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)\, and thus a pacifist\, he vehemently opposed the wars for independence and empire during the late eighteenth century. But William Rotch was also one of the luckiest men of the eighteenth century.  Whaling was an exceptional industry in that the factory was a floating one.  Ships could be at sea for years at a time\, staffed with a motley crew\, frequenting ports the world over.  Rotch shrewdly used these factors to his advantage\, amassing a fortune by exploiting the very political fragmentation he so adamantly protested. Beginning with the Boston Tea Party\, the Rotches stretched the bounds of acceptable business practice by claiming residency – simultaneously – in three different countries.  This tactic landed Rotch in court almost as frequently as his antiwar stance\, but here too he won acquittal. \nSo was William Rotch a Quaker? A whaler? A traitor?  A spy?  This exhibit invites the viewer – you! – to decide which label best describes him.  Along the way\, we’ll revisit some famous (and infamous!) events and we’ll hear from a few characters you’ve definitely heard of and some maybe you haven’t.  What we hope is that you’ll agree his-story is a way of reapproaching how history is made – a story that is as much about who and what we remember as how and why we remember them.

SUMMARY:Picturing the Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the American War for Independence\, scores of images circumnavigated the globe\, fighting their own battles to establish a comprehensible narrative for the momentous events occurring in British North America. Differences in politics\, disruptions in communication\, and the delay of thousands of miles of distance produced competing and often contradictory accounts. Some images became enduring representations of the conflict. Others faded from memory. \nDrawing from Historic Deerfield’s rich collection of Revolutionary-era materials\, this exhibition explores the diverse ways that 18th-century individuals “pictured” or understood the Revolution as it unfolded. Looking across prints\, drawings\, maps\, broadsides\, portraits\, powder horns\, ceramics\, and satirical cartoons\, Picturing the Revolution highlights how images shaped local and global perceptions of the war: its landscapes\, its actors\, its causes\, and its goals. Mining these complex visual records reveals the often-overlooked importance of pictures in the shift from revolt to revolution\, and in envisioning a future for the new nation. \nThis exhibition has been made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism.

SUMMARY:Dressing the Revolution: Fashion and Politics 1760–1789
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition includes more than 20 garments\, accessories\, textiles\, and prints that illuminate the complex role of clothing at the time of the American Revolution. By posing new questions about fashion’s relationship with class\, race\, and gender\, Dressing the Revolution: Fashion and Politics 1760–1789 places clothing at the center of the political debates\, shedding light on dress as a powerful tool that communicated not just status and identity\, but political affinities during this volatile period. \nThe exhibition begins with a look at the consumer revolution of the mid-18th century when an abundance of highly desirable imported goods\, especially finished cloth and accessories\, became widely available to all levels of society in the Colonies. Fashionable dress connected Colonists with England but also contributed to the construction of personal identities and social status\, while providing the potential for social mobility. \nWhen Britain imposed onerous taxes in the 1760s\, perceptions around wearing fashionable dress began to change. Patriots called for non-importation and nonconsumption of British goods while advocating for more sober\, American-made clothing. Women stepped into new political roles through the many highly publicized spinning bees\, putting action to words in their industry and self sacrifice. While the Homespun Movement remained largely symbolic\, it nevertheless changed the narrative around the public display of clothing. \nFashionable dress remained a topic of heated debate\, and public scrutiny\, when consumption of imported goods resumed after the tariffs were lifted. Clothes\, whether modest or fashionable\, could be read for their political implications. When the Revolution brought closed ports and hardship\, Colonists often made due by maintaining and altering existing clothes and dressing more plainly. The show concludes with a look at dressing in the new Nation and the conflicting urges to balance familiar calls for republican modesty and virtue with a new eagerness for American-produced fashions. \nThis program is made possible by a grant from The Coby Foundation.

SUMMARY:A Town Divided: Deerfield in the Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores how a rural Massachusetts community responded to the upheaval of the late 1760s through the 1780s. Using objects\, documents\, and personal narratives\, it will present multiple perspectives on how Deerfield residents embraced\, rejected\, or questioned Revolutionary ideals. While many associate the Revolution with Boston or battlefield sites\, A Town Divided brings the promises—and contradictions—of the Revolution to life through the lens of a deeply divided rural town in western Massachusetts. \nAs in other communities\, Deerfield’s citizens struggled to adapt to an everchanging social\, political\, and economic landscape as rebellion and war affected villages far from urban centers and coastal cities. In Deerfield\, which was evenly split between Loyalists and Whigs\, conflicts between neighbors upturned lives and polarized the community. By expanding and interpreting Deerfield’s stories\, the exhibition investigates overlooked aspects of the Revolution\, highlighting a period when Americans faced severe challenges but eventually emerged a new nation. \nObjects\, documents\, and voices from the period allow us to access the urgency and uncertainty of the era. The ideals of equality and liberty engaged not only Loyalists and Whigs\, but also rich and poor\, women and children\, African Americans (both free and enslaved)\, and Indigenous people. \nThis program is made possible by a grant from Mass Humanities\, which provided funding through the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

SUMMARY:AudaTours Stoneham Audio Tour: Timeless Tales of Historic Pride and Heritage
DESCRIPTION:In Stoneham\, the shadows of colonial fires and twentieth-century neon flicker side by side. Few realize how many secrets linger behind these iconic facades. \nThis self-guided audio tour leads straight through the city’s untold stories. Encounter corners and chapters that even locals walk past\, and let carefully crafted tales reveal what hides beneath the ordinary. \nWhy did a quiet night at the Bernard Cogan House erupt into controversy that changed a neighborhood? Who vanished beneath the glowing beacon of Stoneham’s eerily beautiful gas station? What explains the perfectly preserved pencil marks under the Warren Sweetser House staircase? \nMove between centuries as you cross storied main streets and hidden lanes. Each step peels back another layer of rebellion\, ambition\, and intrigue\, letting Stoneham rise up around you as never before. \nTap play and see how deep Stoneham’s shadows can stretch. The secrets are waiting.
