SUMMARY:Our Founding Mothers and Fathers: Revolutionary War Connections to the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:The American Ancestors organization once estimated 15 million people can trace their family line back to the Salem witch trials. We often tell visitors that the English colonists of 1692 were the founding fathers and mothers of our country. They were themselves descended from the earliest settlers\, who were establishing a new country and took the biblical instruction “be fruitful and multiply” to heart. \nWe often find fascinating connections between the Salem witch trials and the Revolutionary War generation\, particularly the one most often referred to as our “Founding Fathers.” With Rev250 celebrations in full swing\, this presentation will share some of these interesting stories\, including that of Reverend George Burroughs\, the Putnam family of Salem Village\, Reverend John Hale of Beverly\, and Abigail Faulkner of Andover. \nJoin us on Thursday\, August 7th at 6:00 pm EST for this free\, virtual program. Registration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:"Spies Among Us" year long exhibit opening on February 6th 2025
DESCRIPTION:“Spies Among Us” will open on Thursday\, February 6th at 10 a.m. during the museum’s first Thursday opening hours. We will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on February 6th and will be open every Thursday going forward from 10-4. We will also showcase the exhibit during our February Second Sunday Open House on Sunday\, February 9th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. \nThe exhibit will recall the story of General Gage’s spies who visited the Tavern in 1775\, explore examples of espionage on both sides\, and examine the many ways of spying that were used during the American Revolution. \nSpycraft played a pivotal role during the American Revolution\, with both the Continental Army and British forces using intelligence operations to gain strategic advantages. The Golden Ball Tavern and its proprietor Isaac Jones\, played host on a few occasions to British spies sent\, by General Thomas Gage\, to survey the towns that were scattered around the area from Boston to Worcester. This was just one of the British military’s tactics for keeping the Patriots in line. On the American side\, espionage was essential in countering the British military’s superior resources and manpower. \nThe spycraft of the American Revolution was marked by its ingenuity\, the use of civilian networks\, and the blending of military and civilian espionage tactics. Though it was often risky and unreliable\, intelligence-gathering operations played a critical role in the eventual success of the American cause\, allowing the Continental Army to take advantage of British vulnerabilities and ultimately secure victory. \nJoin us as we introduce our new exhibit and our new Thursday opening hours. The museum will continue to be open every second Sunday of the month for our Second Sunday Open House Tours and will now be open every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\nWe look forward to welcoming you!

SUMMARY:(Bitter)sweet History: 18th Century Chocolate & the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique and engaging presentation by historian and educator Michele Gabrielson\, exploring the remarkable role that chocolate played in the events leading up to the American Revolution. Michele will guide you on a journey from “bean to beverage\,” using authentic 18th-century objects. This program also celebrates Hannah Jackson\, the first resident of our Spooner House\, who brewed and sold chocolate from the home in the mid-18th century. A sampling of colonial-style chocolate\, similar to what would have been enjoyed by Plymoutheans in Hannah Jackson’s time\, will be offered to enhance the experience.
