Event Description

The Concord Museum, in partnership with Lexington History Museums, presents an engaging program highlighting new research and evolving interpretations from the communities at the center of the start of the American Revolution. This conversation brings together Curator David F. Wood, whose work, Eyewitness to Revolution, draws from the Concord Museum’s renowned collection; Paul O’Shaughnessy, President of Lexington History Museums, whose institution recently published Revolutionary Stories; and historian and archaeologist Joel Bohy. As part of the evening, the Concord Museum will present the Robert A. Gross Award for Advancing Concord’s History to Joel Bohy in recognition of his lifetime of work of researching April 19, 1775, that has deepened understanding and ability to accurately interpret this event for institutions like the Concord Museum and Lexington History Museum, and, in turn, the thousands of visitors and students we all serve. In partnership with Lexington History Museums. Members Free | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual

    When Thoreau Left Walden Pond: Several More Lives to Live

    I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live and could not spare any more time for that one.On September 6, 1847, Henry David Thoreau left his one-room house at Walden Pond and returned to Concord. Living at Walden for over two years had been a life-changing experience for the thirty-year-old Thoreau. Wanting to be a writer, he went to the pond to write, and while there he did exactly that. He produced two drafts of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. He wrote one lecture about Thomas Carlyle and another about living at the pond called “A History of Myself.” He also penned an essay titled “Ktaadn” about going to Maine in the summer of 1846. And he wrote in his journal almost daily. But what would he do once he was back in Concord?
