SUMMARY:Postponed: Diane Taraz: Factory maids—The lives of New England millworkers (Concert)
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: This concert has been postponed to a future date to be determined. \nIn the early 1800s\, the invention of the power loom disrupted the way fabric had been made for many centuries—and the lives of those who had made it. Diane explores the revolutionary changes that millwork brought to the lives of many people\, especially women\, who seized new opportunities for better pay and independence\, flocking to the mills to “weave by steam.” \nIn the first U.S. mills in Waltham and Lowell\, Yankee girls worked 12-hour days\, 6 days a week\, but still found time to publish a magazine. There were two songs in “The Lowell Offering\,” and Diane will sing them\, accompanied by her antique guitar which dates from the 1820s. She also plays lap dulcimer and wears the clothing worn by mill “operatives\,” as they were called. \nAs a descendant of immigrant millworkers on both sides of her family\, Diane is honored to tell their story through songs that capture both despair and hope for a better life.

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: The Great Boston Fire of 1872
DESCRIPTION:For two days in November 1872\, a massive fire swept through Boston\, leaving the downtown in ruins and the population traumatized. Coming barely a year after the infamous Chicago fire\, Boston’s inferno turned out to be one of the most expensive fires per acre in U.S. history. Yet today few are aware of how close Boston came to destruction. With photos\, vivid descriptions and artifacts\, Boston author Stephanie Schorow masterfully recounts the fire’s history from the foolish decisions that precipitated it to the heroics of firefighters who fought it. \nStephanie Schorow is a journalist and communications instructor at Boston University\, and the author of nine books on Boston history and a novel set in the 1980s. She has worked as an editor and reporter for the Boston Herald\, the Associated Press\, and newspapers in Connecticut\, Idaho and Utah. She has appeared in numerous documentaries on Boston history and is in demand as a presenter\, teacher and podcast guest. \nArrive early to view our collection of firefighting equipment\, including our 1871 Amoskeag steam pumper that fought in the Great Boston Fire! \n
