Join Sabrina Bhattacharjya tomorrow from 4–7 PM at Buckman Tavern for an afternoon of zine-making!

Zines are small, self-published booklets that can combine art, stories, ideas, history, opinions, lists, and anything else you want to share into something entirely your own.

No registration needed—just drop in, get creative, and make a zine to take home!

There's still time to get tickets for this Thursday's lecture!

Theodore Parker of Lexington and Ralph Waldo Emerson of Concord were directly linked to the events of April 19, 1775: both men had grandfathers who were involved in the battles that sparked the American Revolution. How did Parker and Emerson view their revolutionary heritage? How did this shape their thinking in the turbulent years leading up to the Civil War?

Join Public Historian Richard Smith for Abundant Heresies: The Revolutions of Theodore Parker and Ralph Waldo Emerson as he discusses the literary and spiritual connections between the two men and their two towns. How did Parker and Emerson use their heritage to help change American literature and thought? How did this affect the Anti-slavery Movement of the 1850's?

🎟️ Tickets are available on our website (link in bio)!

Last night, Nym Cooke inspired us with the hilarious story of creating a 38-minute black-and-white mobster movie with 57(!) other Lexington High School students in 1967. 🎥

Seven of those classmates joined us for a heartwarming reunion, and together they reminded us to say “yes” to the craziest ideas — because sometimes those are the moments that stay with you forever. 😊

Nym is part of our Leading Lexingtonians exhibit at the Lexington Depot Museum, where we spotlight citizens who have made a difference in our town. Come check it out!

We love when museum friends come to visit! Huge thanks to the docents from Cape Ann Museum for making the trip to Lexington to visit their former Head Librarian & Archivist—and our Executive Director—Trenton Carls. While here, they brushed up on their Revolutionary history and joined in the fun of our ongoing 250th celebrations. History field trip accomplished!
