Opening Reception for the Rotch 250th Exhibition & Artist’s Talk
2025-11-20 18:00 - 19:30 | The Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum, County Street 396, New Bedford, MA, 02740, United States
Join the RJD for a reception and be the first to see RJD’s newest exhibition, Unraveling the Revolutionary Journey of William Rotch Sr. The exhibition features the art of a new historical graphic novel “Quaker, Whaler, Traitor, Spy! The Trials of William Rotch” written by Dr. Sarah Crabtree and illustrated by Melissa “Sawhand” Philley. Twenty prints of art in the book will be on display. The artist, Melissa Philley will speak about her work at 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public.
Accused of treason four times by three governments in two revolutionary decades (1775 – 1795), William Rotch suffered from the “with-us-or-against-us” political landscape of the late eighteenth century. A Quaker, he opposed wars for independence and empire. Yet he downplayed and even withheld key details from his story, a second narrative that began with the Boston Tea Party, stretched across the world, and made him one of the wealthiest men in America.
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.

The hugely successful Discovery Center experience will extend out onto the lawn with 15 new activity stations. Rolling River Printmakers of New England will partner this week with an activity station to make prints. A rideable dolphin and elephant, courtesy of local sculptor Jeff Briggs, along with a bouncy castle, pirate boat with water guns, plus water, sand and craft tables await.

Led by Imagine Studios, Darius Coombs of the Mashpee Wampanoag and Jonathan Petty of the Aquinnah Wampanoag will carve over successive weekends. Sponsored by the New England Foundation for the Arts, and with in-kind support from New England Development, the goal is to launch on Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 11.

November 22, 2025, 3:30 pm, Presented by G. Thomas Ryan
Before they arrived at Plymouth, the Pilgrims arrived in the midst of the Nauset Tribe and spent a month exploring the Outer Cape. History can describe trends over centuries and sharing the story through actual events allows all to appreciate the past through named men and women, and even their inner-soul struggles. On November 22, the events are truly local. The audience might then consider meanings for today as they come upon beaches and creeks, named streets and schools, and families who are descended from the Mayflower or Nauset – added depth for lived history.

Lexington History Museums Presents the 1773 Tea Burning Reenactment - A Lex250 Signature Event
2025-12-13 12:00 - 15:00 | Buckman Tavern, 1 Bedford Street, Lexington, 02420, United States
On December 13, 1773, unfair British taxes were on everyone’s mind as three ships sat in Boston harbor, carrying shipments of East India Company tea. Lexington Town Meeting concluded a multi-day debate with a resolution to stop purchasing or drinking imported British tea. The crowd spilled out onto the common behind the meeting house and made a bonfire, throwing the entire town’s supply of tea into it. Three days later, the Boston Tea Party would make headlines, but Lexington was there first.
Join Lexington History Museums for Lexington’s Annual Tea Burning Reenactment. Take part in fun, interactive activities to learn more about why tea was so important to the Revolution. Meet with the Lexington residents of 1773, portrayed by the Lexington Minute Men, to hear their side of the story, find out where tea comes from, and end the day by gathering around the fire and burning the tea!
