Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business of the patriot, silversmith, and entrepreneur immortalized in the Longfellow poem in a brand new, family-friendly exhibition organized by the American Antiquarian Society. It’s a great opportunity for multi-generational visitors, but interesting, intriguing, and provocative for anyone interested in history and art—which surely includes you! Related programming featuring New-York Historical Trustee Annette Gordon- Reed and distinguished constitutional scholar Philip Bobbitt is on offer through our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series.

Less well-known is the story of Mark Twain and the Holy Land, told in a new exhibition on view this season in our Pam and Scott Schafler Gallery. Jonathan Sarna and Gil Troy reflect on the topic in what is sure to be a fascinating Schwartz Series program presented in partnership with the Shapell Manuscript Foundation. Other Schwartz Series programs include “An Evening with Neal Katyal” moderated by New-York Historical Trustee Akhil Reed Amar; “Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don’t Know” featuring Malcolm Gladwell in conversation with Adam Gopnik; and “An Evening with George Will: The Conservative Sensibility” moderated by Richard Brookhiser.

The year ahead brings an exciting new series to our Robert H. Smith Auditorium, The Diamonstein-Spielvogel Forum on History and the Public Good. In the fall, Ari Melber discusses freedom of the press with Akhil Reed Amar. In the spring, “A Conversation with Bill Moyers” will be moderated by Philip Bobbitt.

History with David M. Rubenstein continues this year, on WNET-Channel 13 and onsite at New-York Historical, with interviews moderated by David M.

This fall’s very timely focus of our Bonnie and Richard Reiss Lecture in Constitutional History and Law is “Presidential Powers” with Bob Bauer, Charlie Savage, and Lisa Monaco; and our Mathew “Mike” Gladstein Lecture in Biography reflects on decades’ worth of conversations with Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, featuring Jeffrey Rosen and Abbe R.
