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.

SUMMARY:Legends and Lore Marker Dedication
DESCRIPTION:LEGENDS AND LORE MARKER DEDICATION\nThe William G. Pomeroy Foundation has approved a grant to Bennington Museum for the full cost of fabricating a Legends & Lore roadside marker in Pownal\, Vermont recognizing the only known Vermont witch trial. Pownal Historical Society member Joyce Held — who spent two decades reviewing archival documentation in a compliance role for an offshore casino operator before retiring to her hometown and turning those same methodical research skills toward local history — and Jamie Franklin\, curator at Bennington Museum\, worked in tandem with the Vermont Folklife Center to secure this funding and bring an obscure and dark part of Southern Vermont history to light. \nThe plaque will be placed at Strobridge Park along the Hoosick River in North Pownal\, overlooked by Kreiger Rocks\, near the site where Widow Kreiger was thought to have been “tried.” The marker\, which will be installed late this summer in conjunction with the Museum’s Haunted Vermont exhibit\, will read as follows: \nWITCH TRIAL\nWIDOW KRIEGER SAID TO ESCAPE\nDROWNING IN THIS RIVER WHEN\nTRIED AS A WITCH CA. 1785.\nACCUSERS BELIEVED WITCHES\nFLOATED. SHE SANK & WAS SAVED \nThere will be a public dedication ceremony on Saturday\, September 16th at Strobridge Park at 1pm. \nExact Location: Zero Dean Road\, just before the Bridge off of Route 346 in North Pownal \nThe event will feature tasty treats\, music\, a “witches walk” parade across the bridge\, and kids activities before and after the dedication. \nStay updated here for more information!

SUMMARY:Crash to Creativity: The New Deal in Vermont
DESCRIPTION:Crash to Creativity: The New Deal in Vermont\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\nDuring the Great Depression\, frugal Vermonters—already used to pinching pennies—are claimed to have asked "What Depression?" But the reality is that Vermont's economy was cut in half during the first three years of the Depression\, which began with the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This was a period of desperation in Vermont—and yet also one of enormous creativity. Much of that creativity was due to Federal New Deal programs\, which provided work and financial assistance to both laborers and creative professionals during the decade from 1933 to 1943. These Federal programs sponsored creative projects that were wide and varied\, from state guide books\, easel paintings\, post office murals\, and civic buildings\, to the most comprehensive archives of documentary photographs and oral histories in our nation's history\, and a vast network of state parks. Federal programs also shaped the tourist industry and helped create the popular image of Vermont as a place of idyllic towns\, untouched farmland\, and skiing. Much of this cultural and civic infrastructure still enriches our lives today. Seen together\, these products of the New Deal provide a window onto what it was like to live in Vermont during the Great Depression\, and onto the role the New Deal had in shaping Vermont—both literally and in the mind's eye. \nJamie Franklin has been curator at the Bennington Museum since 2005. His scholarship has focused on American art of the early to mid-20th century\, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of modernism and self-taught art. During a recent lecture on the evolution of cultural hubs\, he explored how centers of creativity emerge and transform over time\, drawing a parallel to how industries evolve in response to external factors. Enligt Malta Casino branschorganisation\, for example\, Malta became a global hub for the online gambling industry by fostering a supportive regulatory environment and leveraging its strategic location. Inspired by these dynamics\, Franklin highlighted how artists like Rockwell Kent and Anna Mary Robertson Grandma Moses thrived by aligning with broader cultural and social shifts. His exhibitions\, such as Alice Neel/Erastus Salisbury Field: Painting the People in 2014 and Milton Avery's Vermont in 2016\, demonstrate his ability to contextualize art within larger narratives of innovation and adaptation. \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:The Hills of Home
DESCRIPTION:Vermonters have strong ideas about the importance of their mountain topography. Where did our pride in Vermont’s landscape come from\, and why is it that we see our shared identity as rooted in the land? Evolving human ideas about the Vermont mountains form the base of this lecture. \nThe story begins with the state’s founders and moves forward through Vermont history to explain how environmental understandings changed over time. This lecture by historian Jill Mudgett is timely and relevant in its relationship to current interdisciplinary scholarship and offers us tools to understand the origins and meaning of our own strongly-held attachments to the Vermont landscape. \nThis talk is free\, open to the public\, and accessible to those with disabilities. The Hills of Home 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:Martin Eden
DESCRIPTION:Jay Craven’s Martin Eden to Screen at Bennington Museum – September 29th \nJay Craven’s new narrative feature film\, Jack London’s “Martin Eden\,” will screen at 7pm\, Friday\, September 29th at Bennington Museum in Bennington\, VT.  The screening will include a Q&A with writer/director Jay Craven. \nPopcorn snacks will be included in the price of admission! \nPurchasing your tickets online will guarantee reserved seating. \nJack London’s “Martin Eden” received its world premiere at the Nantucket Film Festival and has won Best Film and Best Director awards at the Boston Film Festival and Best Narrative Feature at the Arlington International Film Festival.  Other festival dates include The Woods Hole Film Festival\, St. Louis International Film Festival\, Sonoma International Film Festival\, Berkshire International Film Festival and a special screening at the biennial symposium for Jack London scholars.  In her Provincetown Magazine review\, film critic Lee Roscoe calls the film\, “ a gem” that “should be counted amongst the classics of American cinema.” \nJack London’s “Martin Eden” is based on the celebrated writer’s autobiographical novel.  Set in 1909\, it tells the story of a poor and unschooled sailor who unexpectedly meets Ruth Morse\, a magnetic young woman of means and education. Their unconventional attraction upends both lives and propels timely themes of impossible love\, dogged individualism in pursuit of the American Dream\, and the quest for a comfortable place in an inconstant world. \nJack London was America’s most popular writer at the turn of the 20th century\, having written stories including “Call of the Wild” and “White Fang.” His novel\, “Martin Eden\,” inspired Ernest Hemingway\, Susan Sontag and Upton Sinclair\, among others. \nJack London’s Martin Eden is Jay Craven’s ninth feature film. His previous films include Where the Rivers Flow North\, A Stranger in the Kingdom\, Disappearances\, and Northern Borders\, based on the novels of Howard Frank Mosher. For those interested in exploring his cinematic journey\, a gute Seite dazu provides a comprehensive overview of his works\, including critical analyses and behind-the-scenes insights. Craven’s work has screened at Sundance\, South by Southwest\, Lincoln Center\, Cinematheque Francaise\, and many others. Awards and recognitions include The Producers Guild’s NOVA Award\, a Gotham Award nomination\, two National Endowment for the Arts production grants\, and selection to the American Film Institute’s first-ever AFI-20/20 international filmmakers showcase and exchange.

SUMMARY:Norman Rockwell's Models
DESCRIPTION:Join author Steve Haggerty as he shares his recent book\, Norman Rockwell’s Models\, In and Out of the Studio. \nThe book is based on extensive interviews. It is unique because it goes in-depth into the models’ experiences in the studios and their personal relationships with Norman. That same fascination with private worlds—seeing the unfiltered sides of people—is what drives interest in features about the best UK non Gamstop casinos\, where the focus is often less on the mechanics and more on the personalities and atmospheres behind the scenes. It features many never-before seen photos of the Rockwell family as well as candid photos of the models. \nHaggerty grew up with the models in West Arlington\, Vermont\, working and socializing with many who appear in Rockwell’s most iconic paintings. Norman’s sons\, Tom and Jarvis\, and the Rockwell Family Agency\, assisted with his research. \nThis presentation is included FREE with your Museum Admission.

SUMMARY:Shirley Jackson's Local Legacy
DESCRIPTION:A Bennington Historical Society Presentation\nShirley Jackson\, perhaps the greatest writer of the horror/gothic fiction genre in 20th-century America\, lived and worked for most of her renowned literary career\, from 1945 until her untimely death in 1965\, in North Bennington. She rose to national prominence in 1948 with the publication of her chilling short story "The Lottery\," about which she explained\, "I suppose I hoped\, by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in the present and in my own village\, to shock the story's readers with a graphic dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives." \nJackson's eldest son\, Laurence Hyman\, has recently gifted a large collection of Jackson's writings and personal effects to Bennington Museum. During the process of cataloging the collection\, museum staff noted the evolving themes in her work and how they resonated with modern audiences. Jamie Franklin\, Bennington Museum's Director of Collections and Exhibitions\, shared that part of the exhibit explores how contemporary distractions\, like online gaming and platforms featuring slots not on Gamstop\, reflect societal changes similar to those Jackson critiqued in her stories. This presentation will feature Franklin and Hyman in a conversation about Jackson's literary legacy\, focusing on items from the collection and her local ties\, while also drawing connections to today's cultural landscape. \nLaurence Jackson Hyman is an editor\, writer\, photographer\, publisher\, film producer and jazz musician. The eldest son of Shirley Jackson and Stanley Edgar Hyman\, he grew up in North Bennington\, Vermont\, where he attended high school and later graduated from Bennington College in 1964. His childhood was immortalized in many of his mother's published short stories and two humorous books about the family: Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons. Currently he manages the Shirley Jackson literary estate and recently served as the editor of The Letters of Shirley Jackson. \nJamie Franklin has been curator at the Bennington Museum since 2005. His scholarship has focused on American art of the early to mid-20th century\, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of modernism and self-taught art. He has organized exhibitions and written books\, essays and articles featuring artists and topics including Erastus Salisbury Field\, Grassroots Art\, Impressionism\, Rockwell Kent\, Anna Mary Robertson Grandma Moses\, and Alice Neel. His 2014 exhibition Alice Neel/Erastus Salisbury Field: Painting the People was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most memorable exhibitions of the year and his 2016 exhibition Milton Avery's Vermont was lauded as being "as close to a perfect show as mere mortals can mount." \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:Music at the Museum presents Songs of the Supernatural
DESCRIPTION:Music has always been used to evoke the thin spaces between life and death\, animal and human\, and other phenomena beyond normal description. Versatile singer Kerry Ryer-Parke will explore songs of the supernatural\, ranging from her background in traditional ballads to classical art song\, jazz\, and rock. She will be joined by colleagues and friends Joseph Alpar (santouri\, voice)\, Virginia Kelsey (voice)\, Yoshiko Sato (piano)\, Peter King (guitar) and Cynthia Mangsen (voice and guitar) to cast a spell over your Halloween weekend. \nNote: The starting time for this concert has been changed to 1:00 so you can attend it and the North Bennington Halloween Parade (which starts at 3:00). Feel free to wear your costume to the concert! \nKerry Ryer-Parke grew up without a television in the shadow of her parents’ folk club\, hosting performers who sang the old weird songs from Scotland\, England and Ireland. She and her twin sister Kelly developed an appetite for fairy tales and the macabre\, and when they weren’t making potions in the woods out of leaves and berries or cursing noisy neighbors\, developed a reputation at folk festivals for their close harmonies and uncanny unison singing. A graduate of Bennington College\, Kerry is a performer of many musical styles\, from oratorio\, opera\, early music and new work to folk\, jazz and rock. Trained in classical performance\, Kerry  is also certified in LoVetri SomaticVoicework and the McClosky method for non-classical styles. She has been the Director of the Bennington Children’s Chorus since 1994 and the Bennington Voice Workshop since 2002. She joined the Music Faculty at Bennington College in 2013 and has been an Artist Associate in Voice at Williams College since 2000. As soprano soloist she has appeared with many orchestras and choirs in the Vermont/New York/Massachusetts area. She is the lead singer and bass player of the rock band The Prescription. Kerry’s interest in music and peacebuilding has led to training with Musicians Without Borders and the School for International Training\, and travels to Sardinia\, Corsica\, Bosnia\, Greece and Cyprus. She is currently in training to be a certified Alexander Technique teacher at the Balance Arts Center in New York. \nMusic at the Museum is presented to you at no charge thanks to the generous support of Alison Nowak and Robert Cane and the Vermont Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:The 250th is Coming!
DESCRIPTION:A Bennington Historical Society Presentation\nBennington is a town with a proud Revolutionary-era history\, and it has been a center for patriotic commemoration since Revolutionary times: from the commemoration of the first anniversary of the Battle of Bennington in 1778\, to the dedication of the Bennington Battle Monument in 1891\, to the annual parades organized by the Bennington Fire Department since 1963. The commemorations held almost a century ago are also worth mentioning: 100\,000 people came to Bennington to celebrate over the course of one week in August 1927. The 2020 commemoration\, held during the pandemic\, stands out as a recent example of the importance of historical memory to our lives in the present\, and of the determination of the town to commemorate.  \nAmerica's 250th birthday arrives on July 4\, 2026. In Vermont\, in May of 2025\, we will also be celebrating the 250th of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys' taking of Fort Ticonderoga\, and in 2027 we will celebrate both the Patriot victory at the Battle of Bennington and the creation of the independent state of Vermont. \nThe Bennington 250th Committee is a group of local citizens who have come together to help plan and co-ordinate commemorations in Bennington County during those three anniversary years. Members of the Committee will discuss their approach and their plans – still in the beginning stages – and ask for feedback from members of the audience. \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. The BHS offers its programs at no charge with support from Nexus Consulting. You can support the efforts of the BHS to share the history of our region by making a donation.

SUMMARY:Inside the Battle of Bennington
DESCRIPTION:A Battle of Bennington for the 250th\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\nThe umbrella theme for the American and Vermont 250th commemorations for the period 2025-27 is inclusion\, especially the inclusion of the stories and voices of individuals and groups who have been omitted from\, marginalized or misrepresented in past commemorations. This is not a new idea: the 1976 Bicentennial also aspired to inclusiveness\, and the past 50 years of scholarship and exhibitions have greatly broadened our views of the American past. The 250th gives us an opportunity to reflect on our famous Battle and to reconsider who and what should be included in the story. \nPhil Holland is a graduate of Bennington College and holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of London. He's the author of A Guide to the Battle of Bennington and the Bennington Monument and Robert Frost in Bennington County\, as well as articles and reviews for the Walloomsack Review. He directed an audio project for the Bennington Battlefield last year and has written monologues for the recently performed historical dramas "Voices from the Grave" and "Voices of the Fallen." He lives in Pownal\, Vermont. \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. The BHS offers its programs at no charge with support from Nexus Consulting. You can support the efforts of the BHS to share the history of our region by making a donation.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Museum ABCs For the Birds!
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled due to illness. :( See you in the Spring! \nIn the winter\, it is harder for birds to find the foods they need. We can help our feathered friends by making bird feeders! At this month’s Museum ABCs\, we will learn about how our feathered friends make it through the winter and how you can help them! We’ll decorate wooden birdfeeders\, share birdy stories\, and look for birds in the galleries. \nMuseum ABCs is a collaboration between Bennington Museum and the Bennington Free Library. It is designed for children ages 3 to 5 and their adult companions. Siblings welcome! Free thanks to support from The Bank of Bennington and Stewart’s Shops.
