The farmer was standing just inside the screen door. The sheriff said something to the effect, “Hi, how’re you doin’?” And with that, Jewison kicked open the door and blasted him with a shot- gun at a range of 15-20 feet. I learned all that shortly afterward. After calling the AP, I went over to the sheriff’s office. Being Saturday, only the dispatcher was there, and when I walked in, before I even said anything, he said, “They’re over at the county attorney’s office.” Over 400 Minnesota law enforcement officers were present at the funeral of Sheriff Don Eustice on September 6, 1976.

    NEWSLETTER Winter 2017 Published quarterly for Members and Friends of the Museum A Gateway A REVOLUTIONARY YEAR FOR THE CONCORD MUSEUM! We are proud to announce that the Museum’s Board of Governors, under the leadership of to Concord’s President Churchill Franklin, voted unanimously on November 14, 2016, to break ground on a major building project that will transform the existing Museum to meet greatly History expanded educational and cultural program needs. concordmuseum.org The Building Project The construction and renovation project represents the culmination of a five-year process, which included strategic planning; a fundraising feasibility study; campus master planning; and budgetary and operational planning for the construction period and beyond. Throughout the planning process, the Building Committee, co-chaired by Governors Ralph Earle and Kyle Barnard, has worked with designLAB architects, a Boston firm, and a team of consultants. Groundbreaking for the project will occur in late February 2017; construction is scheduled to conclude in 2018. To address its burgeoning space needs, the Museum will replace the Davis Building, which dates from 1980, with a 13,000 square foot education center and an outdoor courtyard. The new building, connected to the main Museum, will double the Museum’s educational capacity with three new classrooms; a multi-purpose Lyceum space; and an innovative History Learning Center for teaching directly from objects. Within the existing Museum building, a new Gateway to Concord orientation area will welcome visitors to the Museum and to the town. The creation of additional gallery space, expanded and modernized collections storage, and new mechanical systems in the original 1930 building will enable the Museum to better care for and display its exceptional collections.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway blockbuster Hamilton: An American Musical kept Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill and transformed this unlikely founding father into a Broadway celebrity. But while Hamilton is currently seen as a heroic figure, throughout much of the nation’s history he was seen as “un-American” — a closet monarchist who allegedly hated the people, the “great beast.” Many 20th century historians and biographers repeated distorted accounts first circulated by Thomas Jefferson and his lieutenants, all of whom were determined to ruin Hamilton’s reputation. Franklin Roosevelt repeated these Jeffersonian myths in the midst of his campaign to erect a memorial to the “Sage of Monticello” in the nation’s capital. While Lin-Manuel Miranda restored Hamilton to his proper standing as a key founder, he too has misrepresented the real Hamilton. The real Alexander Hamilton was devoted to the rule of law and to moderation and possessed a healthy aversion to Utopian schemes.

  • The Magazine of the Victorian Society in America Volume 38 Number 2 Editorial
    Nineteenth Ce ntury The Magazine of the Victorian Society in America Volume 38 Number 2 Editorial When I was one of Richard Guy Wilson’s students at The Victorian Society’s Newport Summer School about ten years ago I fell in love with a woman. Her name was Marie. I met her at one of the grand houses that crowd Richard’s itinerary. It is called Clouds Hill, located north of Newport in Warwick, Rhode Island. Since my wife, Susan, is my first reader and editor let me say right away that Marie died in 1863. Clouds Hill is a big, broad house on top of a steep rocky incline. It is built of local granite and features dramatic wood eaves and extravagant barge boards. Its deep, three-sided porch overlooks an inlet off Narragansett Bay. It is a grey and brooding house, one that epitomizes what we think of as Victorian. Crossing the threshold, I felt an odd frisson, wondering who had called this looming dwelling “home” –a question soon answered by Anne Holst, its current owner and resident. She gave us an intimate tour of the house that had been in her family since construction was completed in 1872. It was built by textile magnate William Smith Slater, of Slatersville, Rhode Island, for his daughter, Elizabeth Ives Slater, upon the occasion of her marriage to one Alfred Augustus Reed, Jr. It has passed down the matrilineal line to Ms. Holst and contains 150 years’ accumulation of the family’s furnishings and fixtures. She runs the beautifully maintained house as a museum.

The project will focus on the historic greenhouses, which were built between 1804 and c. 1930 and are among the oldest continuously operating examples in the United States. Through this project, the City of Waltham will help preserve these fragile nationally significant structures, ensure the health of the historic plant collections, and provide better service to the nearly 10,000 individuals who visit every year for greenhouse tours and plant sales. If sufficient funding is secured, this urgently-needed project can be carried out between April 1, 2017 and October 31, 2017. Thank you very much for considering our application. Benjamin K. Haavik, our team leader for property care, looks forward to attending the next Committee meeting on May 10, 2016.
