SUMMARY:Rev250MHD: Portraits of 18th-century Marblehead People Before the Storm of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday afternoon\, November 3rd\, at 1 pm at the Marblehead Arts Association’s King Hooper Mansion\, an illustrated talk will bring those enigmatic individuals from Marblehead’s late colonial past to life. \nIn most communities before American independence\, portraits of only a very few individuals were painted\, and even fewer survive. But\, surprisingly\, two dozen portraits of members of the Lee and Hooper families exist\, all in major museums\, along with about a dozen others from Marblehead at the town’s peak in the 1760s –– most of them by the absolute best portraitist in colonial America\, John Singleton Copley. \nIt is perplexing that while portraits of half of King Hooper’s children (as adults) were painted\, none of the offspring of Colonel Lee and his wife Martha are known. \nAmong those Hooper family portraits is a likeness by Copley acquired relatively recently (for a Copley portrait) by the Milwaukee Art Museum which has long been said to portray one of King Hooper’s four daughters. More intriguingly\, it might actually instead honor King Hooper’s second and principal wife of 28 years\, Ruth Swett\, the mother of all 11 of the “King’s” children\, who is virtually unknown and under-appreciated today. Her name is the same as the young Hooper’s first wife\, who had died at about age 20 when Robert was 23\, before they had any children. \nLooking regally serene\, on the eve of a turbulent and disastrous time for Marblehead\, this middle-aged Marblehead woman radiates subdued luxury and grace\, but also mystery –– much like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. \nSoon after\, the American colonies would be forged into a new nation by eight years of war\, followed by a half decade of contention about governing laws for the new nation. The character of that divide still persists\, 250 years later. But so does the country that was born two and a half centuries ago\, on the backs of so many\, including nearly everyone in Marblehead’s thousand families at that time. \n\n\n\n\nThe presentation is part of a multi-year series of programming in Marblehead and beyond that commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Attendance is free\, but donations to the Arts Association are encouraged.

SUMMARY:250th Anniversary of the first MA Provincial Congress
DESCRIPTION:On October 7\, 1774\, ninety chosen representatives met at Salem in defiance of General Gage’s order. They elected John Hancock to serve as chairman. They resolved to form themselves into “a Provincial Congress…to take into consideration the dangerous and alarming situation of public affairs in this province\, and to consult and determine on such measures as they shall judge will tend to promote the true interest of his majesty\, and the peace\, welfare\, and prosperity of the province.” The establishment of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress was essentially a coup détat: a sudden\, violent\, and unlawful seizure of power. The royal government\, headed by General Gage\, was now isolated and virtually powerless except for the presence of the army and navy in Boston. \n\n\n\nWelcome and Introduction: Jonathan Lane\, Executive Director of Revolution 250 Massachusetts\n\n\nBrief lecture on the significance of Oct 7\, 1774: Alexander Cain\, author of We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution\n\n\nPresentation of the Resolutions: Presentations of the federal\, state\, and local resolutions commemorating the bravery of those who met at Salem in defiance of the lawful government.\n\n\nKeynote Address: Robert A. Gross\, author of The Minutemen and their World.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will conclude with a brief Q& A followed by reception with light refreshments\, and a cash bar. In attendance will also be American Revolutionary War reenactors from the Danvers Alarm List Company and the Lexington Minute Men. \nCLICK HERE to register

SUMMARY:Marblehead on the Eve of Independence Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:A walking tour of downtown Marblehead focusing on the mid-1700s\, on the eve of independence\, when the gritty but thriving and prosperous international Atlantic seaport was the sixth or tenth most populous metropolis in British N. America. The town’s zealous and nearly fully rebel (Patriot) service\, both on land and at sea\, through the American Revolution’s 8 long years of war brought an economic crash that preserved much of the 18thc townscape that remains today\, including about 300 houses from before 1775 and a 1727-29 wooden town house. This tour is offered two times September 15th 3:30pm-5:30pm & September 20th 5:00pm-7:00pm \nTour meets outside the front door of Abbot Hall (on Washington St.) \nThis event is a part of the Trails & Sails event series\, if you would like to check out other events from this series visit our Trails & Sails Website

DESCRIPTION:A walking tour of downtown Marblehead focusing on the mid-1700s\, on the eve of independence\, when the gritty but thriving and prosperous international Atlantic seaport was the sixth or tenth most populous metropolis in British N.

This tour is offered two times September 15th 3:30pm-5:30pm & September 20th 5:00pm-7:00pm \nTour meets outside the front door of Abbot Hall (on Washington St.) \nThis event is a part of the Trails & Sails event series\, if you would like to check out other events from this series visit our Trails & Sails Website

SUMMARY:"Tea’s Party: From Boston to Salem and Back Again" with Historian James Fichter
DESCRIPTION:Join historian James Fichter for “Tea’s Party: From Boston to Salem and Back Again” a special talk on the history of tea in colonial Massachusetts Bay. This free talk with be hosted at the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center (2 New Liberty Street\, Salem) on Thursday\, May 13 at 7 p.m. \nIn this talk Fichter reveals that despite the so-called Boston Tea Party of 1773\, large shipments of tea from the East India Company were sold in North America\, one of them in Boston! The survival of the Boston tea shaped Massachusetts politics in 1774\, impeded efforts to reimburse the Company for its losses in Boston Harbor\, and hinted at the enduring conflict between consumer demand and revolutionary boycotts. That tension was not confined to Boston. As General Gage and the colonial government relocated to Salem in the summer of 1774\, Essex County residents found committing to a boycott just as difficult as Bostonians had. \nJames Fichter is an historian and Associate Professor in Global and Area Studies at the University of Hong Kong\, where he teaches on maritime history and the revolutionary Atlantic. He is also the author of So Great a Profit: How the East Indies Transformed Anglo-American Capitalism (Harvard\, 2010) which examines Salem’s trade to China. He received his Ph.D. in history from Harvard in 2006.
