SUMMARY:Charlestown End Stone Walls  - Preservation Month Meeting
DESCRIPTION:What do all those stone walls in the Middlesex Fells represent?  How did Stoneham become Stoneham? \nHow did colonial English colonists parcel out land once held in common by the Pawtucket along the shores of Spot Pond?  The answer lies in the stone walls and range lines of Charlestown End – what became Stoneham. \nJoin us as Alison Simcox and Doug Heath as they talk about the remnants of these range lines still existing and still marked by stone walls centuries later in the Middlesex Fells. \nThis is the annual joint meeting with the Stoneham Historical Commission for National Historic Preservation Month.  (Note this meeting is the 4th Thursday of the Month\, not our typical Second Thursday). \n  \n \n  \nAlison C. Simcox and Douglas L. Heath are environmental scientists with an interest in local history.  They are the authors of several books on local history\, including the Middlesex Fells\, Haywardville\, Breakheart Reservation and Lake Quannapowitt.

SUMMARY:The Most Hated Man in Revolutionary Boston
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming historian and author John Bell to speak on  “As yet Unhanged”: Ebenezer Richardson and the Coming of the American Revolution. The focus is on Ebenezer Richardson\, a customs agent and British informer convicted of shooting and killing a boy protesting outside of his house in 1770\, making him “the most hated man in Boston.”   The incident provoked a similar response as the Boston Massacre less than two weeks later\, and played a large role in turning public sentiment toward supporting an open rebellion. Over 1\,000 people attended Seider’s funeral procession from Boston’s Liberty Tree. \nRichardson was a well-known scoundrel with many connections in and around his native Woburn- including Stoneham\, where his mother Abigail Johnson Richardson Gould\, moved after her remarriage. \n About the speaker: John Bell (who writes as J.L.Bell) is  a Massachusetts writer who specializes in (among other things) the start of the American Revolution in and around Boston. He is particularly interested in the experiences of children in 1765-75. He has published scholarly papers and popular articles for both children and adults and just published a book\, The Road to Concord\, which follows the fate of 4 cannon smuggled out of Boston to Concord – helping spark the Revolution.  Mr. Bell has been a consultant for History Detectives\, contributed to a display at Minute Man National Historic Park and has produced other material for the National Park Service.  His research can be found at at https://boston1775.blogspot.com/ \n  \nThis program has been made possible by a grant from the Stoneham and Massachusetts Cultural Councils. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Children's Hands-on History Programs - Colonial Trades and Colonial Sampler
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to offer two free short children’s programs this summer\, that let kids learn about colonial history with fun hands-on activities. \nRegistration is required by June 18th. Programs will run from approximately 10:30 to noon and 1 to 2:30 pm. \nLed by educational staff from Historic New England\, each program is about 1 1/2 hours and children may sign up for one or both. \nThe morning program Colonial Trades lets children barter has a pre-program activity which can be sent in advance or before the program starts that morning.  It will work best for slightly older children (Grades 3-6).  The afternoon program\, Colonial Sampler\, shows what life was like for children in the 1700s.  It works best for slightly younger children (Grades 1-5).  Lunch is not provided.   You can sign up for just one or for both sessions. \nColonial Trades – What did people do for work in colonial times?\nStudents learn what life was like during the years leading up to the Revolution. A pre-visit activity based on Colonel Samuel Pierce’s account book allows students to take on the roles of real Dorchester residents\, including farmers\, shoemakers\, weavers\, and blacksmiths. \nKids will learn about the goods and services each of their characters provided to the community and play a bartering game that mimics the economic system of colonial Massachusetts. Hands-on spinning and weaving activities allow them to further explore the production of goods using colonial resources and technology.\n \nColonial Sampler – What was it like to be a child in colonial times?\nLearn what life in colonial times was like for children in New England. A series of hands-on activities teach about the work\, education\, and play of the Pierce children in eighteenth-century Dorchester. Students will see reproduction clothing that boys and girls wore in the past. Each student will make an herbal sachet\, write with quill pens and play historic toys and games. \nWe are able to provide these programs free of charge due to the generosity of the National Coalition for Education & Cultural Programs and the Stoneham Business and Community Educational Foundation (SBCEF).\nRegister for the event\n  \n

SUMMARY:Lament for the Christmas Tree Shops - With Anthony Sammarco

The Christmas Tree Shops were an icon of Massachusetts\, with 23 stores that boasted a diverse assortment of merchandise from seasonal decorations\, home decor\, housewares\, food and giftware and just about everything else.  Their unique style left many shoppers saddened when the chain closed in 2023 after bankruptcy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\n\nAnthony Mitchell Sammarco is a noted historian and author of over sixty books on the history and development of Boston\, and he lectures widely on the history and development of his native city. He commenced writing in 1995\, and his books Lost Boston\, The History of Howard Johnson’s: How A Massachusetts Soda Fountain Became a Roadside Icon\, and The Baker Chocolate Company: A Sweet History are among his many books that have made the bestsellers list. \nMr. Sammarco is employed by Boston-based Payne/Bouchier\, Inc. and since 1997 he has taught history at the Urban College of Boston\, where he was named educator of the year and where he serves on the Leadership Council.

SUMMARY:When Church was the State
DESCRIPTION:Local author Ben Jacques will speak on the history of the First Church in Stoneham – a congregation that has existed since the 1720s\, playing a key role in the history of Stoneham\, from the founding through the revolutionary war\, the fight for abolition and well into the 20th century.  This is part of our special efforts to celebrate Stoneham’s 300th year as a separate town. \nAny town in colonial Massachusetts required a school and school master\, a burying ground and a church and minister – – that church is First Church Congregational\, now located on Main Street.  Until 1826\, the meeting house served as both Town Hall and Church and the church was an essential piece of town government and Stoneham’s history in the last 300 years. \nAs always\, doors open for evening meetings at 6:45 pm for time to view the exhibits\, with a short business meeting at 7:15 and the speaker at 7:30. \n \n
