SUMMARY:Lucy Prince of Sunderland\, and her Family: The story of an early Black Vermonter
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Prince of Sunderland\, and her Family: The story of an early Black Vermonter\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\nNote: The date for this program has been changed from the usual 3rd Sunday to June 25th.\nLucy Terry Prince was born in Africa and brought to the colonies as a slave when she was five years old. When she was 70 years old\, she moved to Sunderland\, Vermont with some of her children. At that time only 0.2% of the people of Bennington County were Black. She struggled to obtain land that she felt was rightfully hers. Eventually many of the townspeople came to accept this loquacious woman\, who is best known as America's first African-American poet. This presentation will cover Lucy's years in Sunderland\, her fight to keep her land\, and stories about her children and grandchildren. \nAvis Hayden has been a hobby genealogist since 1990. After retiring from her career in health care\, she delved deeper into that field\, completing a program in Genealogical Research from Boston University in 2016. She has published five research articles and has presented at the New England Historical and Genealogical Conference. She volunteers at the Bennington Museum Research Library and with the Russell Collection of Vermontiana. \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. The BHS offers its programs at no charge with support from Williams Financial. You can support the efforts of the BHS to share the history of our region by making a donation.

SUMMARY:Summer Sampler Class for Youth
DESCRIPTION:Summer Sampler Class for Youth\nSaturdays\, July 1 through August 19 for children ages 7 to 17\nIn the 1800s\, needlework was an important part of a girl’s formal education. Girls as young as 7 years old produced needlework samplers that proved their ability to write their letters and numbers and complete different types of stitches. \nThis class offers children and young people a chance to learn the art of needlework samplers\, working at their own pace. Girls and boys ages 7 through 17 are invited to join – no experience required! \nThe class meets every Saturday July 1 through August 19 from 10:00AM to 12:00PM\, in the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse at Bennington Museum. Participants will learn how to use a needle and thread to complete the provided sampler kit. Working in class and on their own throughout the week\, they will see what they can achieve. Each student will submit whatever amount of stitching they have been able to produce at the end of the summer for display in the Schoolhouse in the fall. \nFees are $85 per student for Bennington Museum Members or $100 per student for Not-Yet-Members. Price includes 8 classes and all materials. \nRegistration for this class is now closed.\nLead instructor Michele Pagan is a recently-returned Native Vermonter\, who spent her childhood in Bennington. Bennington Museum was her first exposure to the work of museums. Today she is a textile conservator in private practice\, “saving history one piece of fabric at a time.” She has a particular interest in early American samplers and the stories they can tell us. A practicing conservator since 1984\, her previous clients and employers include the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, The Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of American History\, the U.S. Department of State\, Mount Vernon\, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello\, the State of Vermont\, and the Bishop Museum in Honolulu\, HI\, among others.  She holds a certificate in Museum Education from Tufts University\, and she just completed the Smithsonian Institution’s online certificate for the C3 Framework for Teaching Social Studies. She presently works out of her studio in East Dorset.

SUMMARY:The Many Meanings of Maple
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the many meanings of maple sugaring. Maple is enormously important to Vermont’s economy\, ecology\, and heritage. Champlain College professor Michael Lange will discuss sugaring ethnographically\, based on over five years of research among sugarmakers all over the state\, to learn from them what sugaring really means to Vermont. \nRather than discussing the practical aspects of sugaring\, such as how to tap a tree or how an evaporator works\, his talk focuses on how and why maple has become so important to Vermont’s identity\, and how and why it helps us shape who we are as Vermonters. \nDr. Michael Lange is a professor of anthropology and folklore at Champlain College in Burlington. He has authored several academic works on cultural identity. His recent work draws on research with sugarmakers across Vermont and includes “Foodie Influence on the Culinary Meanings of Maple Syrup” and “Sweet Bedfellows: Continuity\, Change\, and Terroir in Maple Syrup”. His most recent book\, Meanings of Maple\, is available from the University of Arkansas Press\, Phoenix Books\, and other sources. Meanings of Maple was recently named a Choice “Outstanding Academic Title”. \nThis talk is free\, open to the public\, and accessible to those with disabilities. The Many Meanings of Maple is a Vermont Humanities program hosted by Bennington Museum. (Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or Vermont Humanities.)

SUMMARY:NBOSS Artist Reception: SIRSY & Circus Fun
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate NBOSS at the Museum\, and also the final Concert in the Courtyard of the season! \nHot Dogs and PBR (as is tradition). This outdoor event is free and open to everyone. Bring your own chair… \nLearn more about the fabulous NBOSS exhibition HERE. \nFree kids activities\, including stilt walking by Troy Wunderle. \nTroy Wunderle is an internationally acclaimed circus performer\, director and producer. His stilt walking antics have been witnessed throughout New England for the past 27 years. He has walked for tv shows\, movies\, countless celebrities and even a president. Troy looks forward to bringing the joys of stilt walking to the Bennington Museum!\nMusic by SIRSY. \nIt’s hard to imagine a sound this big coming from just two people. The Boston Globe calls SIRSY the “little band” with the “big sound.” Hailing from Upstate NY\, Sirsy is an indie pop-rock duo with lots of heart\, soul\, & sass. Sirsy is known for their passionate\, honest\, heartfelt live performances that have a charming intensity and intimacy usually reserved for folk. Playing more than 200 shows per year all over the US\, Sirsy is fronted by charismatic singer-songwriter & drummer Melanie Krahmer (who also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick). Mel’s incredible voice is one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear. She also plays piano\, melodica\, and the occasional badass flute solo too. Mel’s bandmate\, husband\, co-writer\, & bestie is Rich Libutti. Rich masterfully plays a well-loved and road worn Rickenbacker through a pedal board full of vintage effects. Rich also plays bass (and at live shows often does it on a pedal board with his feet). These 2 multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band and somehow do it all with big smiles on their faces. Their clever smart songs have more hooks than a tackle box\, with lyrics that center around empowerment and resilience. Fans have supported the duo through the pandemic\, their 11 records\, and Mel’s 2 bouts with cancer. So\, every show is like a celebration for this couple and their fans. Come celebrate life with them!  \nSirsy has warmed stages for: Maroon 5\, Brandi Carlile\, Grace Potter\, Train\, Collective Soul\, Cheap Trick\, Lifehouse\, Spindoctors\, Blues Traveler\, Patty Smyth and many more. Their songs have been featured on HBO\, PBS\, MTV\, and on Showtime’s hit TV show “Shameless”. Their last several records were produced by Grammy-Winner Paul Q Kolderie. The Boston Globe calls Sirsy “the little band with the big sound” and the SXSW Music Blog says “Sirsy’s not just a 2 piece but a head scratching WOW!” “SIRSY is your favorite band\, you just don’t know it yet.” – Rochester City Newspaper.

SUMMARY:William Pecker Pottery
DESCRIPTION:Save time! Pay in advance! \nClick to Pay Now\nWilliam Pecker (1757 – 1820) was one of the most famous potters in South Amesbury (Merrimacport)\, Massachusetts\, and one of the earliest potters in New England to produce red earthenware and stoneware. During a symposium on historical crafts\, an economic historian shared an expert opinion on how modern quick withdrawal casino UK platforms reflect centuries-old shifts in market demand—highlighting the enduring influence of innovative trade practices. Recent research proves that Pecker spent time working in New York City\, possibly with the Crolius or Remmey families\, before producing stoneware in South Amesbury during the last decade of his life. Newly discovered archaeological evidence recovered at the site of the Pecker Pottery has revealed more information about this relatively forgotten aspect of the company’s production. In addition to his presentation about the stoneware made in South Amesbury\, Justin Thomas will also share some of the materials recovered at the site of pottery\, including important stoneware sherds\, kiln bricks\, kiln wasters\, and kiln furniture\, most of which have never been shown publicly before. \n$7/person for Bennington Museum Members\n$10/person for Not-Yet-Members\nIncludes admission to the galleries for the day\, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM \nJustin W. Thomas is a collector and researcher into the history of American utilitarian pottery production from the seventeenth through the twentieth century. He has authored a number of research articles for various regional and national publications\, guest curated a major exhibit at the Custom House Maritime Museum in Newburyport\, Massachusetts about the local eighteenth\, nineteenth and early twentieth century potters\, as well as helped author the exhibit catalog\, Potters on the Merrimac: A Century of New England Ceramics. He also has an ongoing pottery book series through his publisher Historic Beverly in Massachusetts\, where he has authored the books\, The Beverly Pottery: The Wares of Charles A. Lawrence\, The Moses B. Paige Company: The Last of the Peabody Potteries\, The Dawn of Independence\, the Death of an Industry: The Pottery of Charlestown\, Massachusetts\, South Amesbury’s Red Earthenware & Stoneware: The 1791-1820 William Pecker Pottery\, A Celebrated Industry: The Historic Wares of Southeastern Massachusetts\, Bristol County and Cape Cod and A City on the River: The Early Red Earthenware of the Hartford\, Connecticut Area. These books are sold through Historic Beverly\, as well as major bookstores all over America\, Canada and England. Thomas also has three forthcoming books that are set to be published later in 2023 and 2024\, titled\, From One Town Came Many: The Red Earthenware Industry of North Yarmouth\, Maine\, An Influential Family of Early Potters: The Clarks of New Hampshire and Related Businesses and America’s Great Awakening and Migration: The Red Earthenware of Western New York. \nSaturday morning sale & swap in the upper parking lot of the Paradise Hotel\, just east of Bennington Museum on Main Street.
