  • William Sumner Appleton and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities: Professionalism and Labor
    William Sumner Appleton and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities: Professionalism and Labor A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Historic Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation by William Morache May 2012 Morache 1 Introduction Historic preservation has seen (over its long history) the constant evolution of heritage values. Many of these values are rooted in tradition and a sense of antiquarianism while others are interjected through contemporary opinions and sentiments. Within that history, The Society for the Preservation of New England antiquities has contributed greatly to preservation by incorporating the aspirations and values for its founder, William Sumner Appleton Jr. Through his Society, Appleton contributed to the development of historic preservation by modernizing preservation with scientific and organizational values. The different milestones in preservation in the United States all have different qualities that reflect their corresponding period. The Mount Vernon Ladies Association was founded in the mid-nineteenth century and sought to memorialize George Washington through his historic homestead as the American Revolution was slipping toward the distant past. The Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the New York City Landmarks Law of 1965 correspond with the concept of history as a public benefit both in response to and enabled by urban renewal land use policies. The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities marked a point when heritage was the responsibility of private citizens. This project analyzes the historic context of SPNEA’s founding. Appleton’s place in society during this time of social change in Boston infused the organization with the values of a capitalist Yankee responding to the increasing influence of newer European immigrants and labor reform movements.

  • Massachusetts Archaeology Month
    October 2012 Massachusetts Archaeology Month Features of the Past Calendar of Events William Francis Galvin Secretary of the Commonwealth Chair, Massachusetts Historical Commission From the State Archaeologist Recent archaeological investigations at the Fairbanks House in Dedham are featured on the cover of this year’s Calendar of Events and Archaeology Month poster. Archaeologists have always had a keen interest in the early Colonial period of the New World, and, especially in Massachusetts. The Fairbanks House was constructed in 1641 and is the oldest wood timber- frame house still standing in America. Eight generations of the Fairbanks family continuously occupied the house until the early 20th century. It is now a historic house museum and is open annually from May 1- October 31 (http://fairbankshouse.org/). The recent archaeological investigations at the Fairbanks House uncovered many interesting artifacts and features. To learn more about archaeological features and the feature discovered at this exca- vation at the Fairbanks House, be sure to turn to the last two pages of this calendar. The events that feature the past in this year’s Archaeology Month Calendar will give you many opportunities to learn more about archaeology—we hope that you enjoy them. Brona Simon State Archaeologist MANY THANKS TO: Thomas M.
