Through this popular publication, we are happy to provide the public with information on historically significant locations for special events of all kinds. This new edition provides expanded information on previously listed properties, as well as many new listings. All listings in the publication include information about accessibility. The Massachusetts Historical Commission was established by the legislature in 1963 to identify, evaluate, and protect significant historic properties in the Commonwealth. These properties are not only unique settings for special events, but are also vital parts of our diverse cultural landscape. Private event rentals are an important source of revenue for historic properties, as they help to provide the necessary funds to preserve and maintain these structures. The availability of historic properties for various functions makes the rich heritage of Massachusetts accessible to the public. It is with great pleasure that we offer this resource as a means of promoting awareness of the availability of these remarkable properties for event rentals. The information contained herein is collected by means of questionnaires and phone interviews, and has not been fully verified through site visits. If you encounter information that is inaccurate or outdated, please notify our office. Likewise, if you know of a historic property available for function rentals that is not currently listed, please contact us. Should you have questions regarding the information included here, we encourage you to call these establishments directly. We hope you find this publication useful as you consider historic properties for your important function. Thank you for your support of historic preservation in Massachusetts.

  • Copyright (C) 2005 Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, Massachusetts Permission to Publish from This Material Should Be Discussed with the Museum Curator
    Guide to the Transcendentalist Manuscript Collection, Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, Massachusetts www.fruitlands.org REGISTER MS T.1 S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1810-1850) Papers, ca 1836-1850 Size: 2 Linear inches Acquisition: Materials were purchased from The Goodspeed Book Shop by Clara Endicott Sears BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810-July 19, 1850) was a well known author, lecturer, and Transcendentalist in the Nineteenth Century. She is often called a "bluestocking", because of her feminist beliefs and unconventional life. She was born Sarah Margaret Fuller, the first of nine children of Timothy and Margaret Fuller of Cambridgeport, Massachusetts. Her father was determined to give her a masculine education according to the classical curriculum of the day. The exacting and regimental education began at a very young age and was to take a great toll on her health. But it also gave her abroad knowledge of literature and languages. Following the completion of her formal studies, Margaret gained entrance into the intellectual circles of Cambridge and Harvard. Here she formed lasting friendships with many New England intellectuals. In 1836, Margaret Fuller was hired to teach languages at Bronson Alcott's Temple School. She stayed only a year, but continued her teaching career in Providence Rhode Island at the Greene Street School. In 1839, she returned to Massachusetts and began conducting "Conversations" for society women and others in Boston. At this time, Margaret Fuller also became an integral part of the Transcendentalist Movement. From 1840 to 1842 she edited and contributed to the Transcendentalist journal, The Dial. In 1845, she published her feminist work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century.

The sample was composed of fifty crewel embroidered items, believed to have been created between 1620 and 1781, within the geographic boundaries of New England. A data sheet, plus color slides or black and white sketches, were used to record information pertaining to each embroidered item.

  • 2012 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    EXPLORING THE HUMAN ENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 2ANNU0AL1 REP2ORT CHAIRMAN’S LETTER August 2013 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2012 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For forty-seven years, NEH has striven to support excellence in humanities research, education, preservation, access to humanities collections, long-term planning for educational and cultural institutions, and humanities programming for the public. NEH’s 1965 founding legislation states that “democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens.” Understanding our nation’s past as well as the histories and cultures of other peoples across the globe is crucial to understanding ourselves and how we fit in the world. On September 17, 2012, U.S. Representative John Lewis spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial about freedom and America’s civil rights struggle, to mark the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. He was joined on stage by actors Alfre Woodward and Tyree Young, and Howard University’s Afro Blue jazz vocal ensemble. The program was the culmination of NEH’s “Celebrating Freedom,” a day that brought together five leading Civil War scholars and several hundred college and high school students for a discussion of events leading up to the Proclamation. The program was produced in partnership with Howard University and was live-streamed from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to more than one hundred “watch parties” of viewers around the nation. Also in 2012, NEH initiated the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf—a collection of twenty-five books, three documentary films, and additional resources to help American citizens better understand the people, places, history, varieties of faith, and cultures of Muslims in the United States and around the world.

Schuler Virginia Adams, PAL Local Project Coordinator Rebecca Curran, Town Planner Local Heritage Landscape Participants Wayne Butler Rebecca Curran Bill Conly Charlie Dalferro Joseph Homan Bette Hunt Judy Jacobi John Liming Frank McIver Ed Nilsson Miller Shropshire William Woodfin May 2005 INTRODUCTION Essex County is known for its unusually rich and varied landscapes, which are represented in each of its 34 municipalities. Heritage landscapes are places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced land use patterns; and they often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps towards their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.
