Taverns and Tavern Life in Early New England - lecture by Tom Kelleher
Other
oin us on Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 7:00 PM for a lecture on "Taverns and Tavern Life in Early New England" by Tom Kelleher.
Taverns were as numerous as churches in early New England, and played at least as large a role in the public life of the community. From typical food and drink to the common topics discussed and kind of songs sung by the fireside, this talk will look at what it was like inside the “public houses” that dotted the highways and center villages of virtually every town in New England. Presented in historic costume with associated illustrative artifacts, and samples of a rum punch prepared as part of the presentation.
Tom Kelleher is currently Historian, and Curator of Mechanical Arts at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, where he has worn many hats both literally and figuratively for over 40 years. A past president of the international Association for Living History, Farm and Agricultural Museums, he regularly teaches and demonstrates at museums, parks, and historical societies around the country. Tom holds a Master's in history from the University of Connecticut, and writes often for a variety of magazines and journals, including Early American Life.

Fleeced: Talk and Book Signing with Madelyn Shaw
Community
Fleeced: Unraveling the History of Wool and War, co-authored by Trish Fitzsimons. Fleeced explores the history of wool in wartime and how the demand for it resulted in international intrigue, negotiation, anxiety, and even how we dress today. The expansion of wool production in the 19th century led to an enormous increase in the size of armies in the 20th century, which in turn led to a search for wool’s replacement and our current-day issue of pervasive microplastic pollution.
A reception and book signing will follow the talk.
Free
Registration is requested.

Pastel Landscapes and Seascapes
Community
Join local artist Davison Bolster to develop your skills with the dreamy medium of pastels. These classes will be designed for both beginner and intermediate students, with attention to each student’s level. Beginners will learn the history of pastels, how to use them safely, and how to lay out and complete a pastel painting. Using photos as sources, learn many insights into the possibilities of pastels. Those with previous experience will delve into more complicated images and skills. They will also work on larger paintings.
Davison grew up watching his grandfather, Gilbert Davison Johnson, paint pastels, and inherited his many boxes of century-old French pastels upon Gil’s passing in 1967. Over the years, he mastered many other mediums, and finally, in 2022, inspired by the natural beauty of New England, Davison taught himself how to use them.
Students will be responsible for bringing their pastels. Dust masks are suggested. Paper and other supplies will be provided.
Class is limited to 15. Registration is required.
