Event Description

Join artist Brittney Peauwe Wunnepog Walley (Nipmuc) for a forum exploring her installation Chemacheg Menuhki: Paddle Strong at the Concord Museum. Walley will discuss her basket – woven with traditional techniques and layered with Indigenous history – and share the story of the Nipmuc people held in Concord in 1675 before their forced removal. In conversation, Walley will reflect on her artistic process, the meaning behind the work, and the ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities in New England. This program is funded in part by Mass Humanities. Free In-Person | Free Virtual

Sons of the American Revolution: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future
As the nation prepares for the America 250 celebrations in 2026, the meaning of patriotism feels especially resonant. Few organizations embody that spirit more fully than the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), whose members work to preserve the legacy of those who fought for American independence. Members of the SAR are all direct descendants of someone who fought in the Revolutionary War.
Declaring Independence: Then & Now
Then...By the spring of 1776, the question of independence was on the minds of those living in the thirteen American colonies. The Patriots were winning the hearts and minds of many; however, for various reasons, not every colonist was in favor of breaking ties with Great Britain. Now...The spring and summer of 2026, when the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, is a fitting moment to commit to refamiliarizing ourselves as a nation with the complexities surrounding this historical document and the process through which it was created, as well as the ideals it espouses the American people—and its government—to live up to. The Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area’s award-winning program, Declaring Independence: Then & Now provides the opportunity to do so.
