SUMMARY:Working-class History Tour of the Lyman Estate
DESCRIPTION:From cooking meals to operating factory looms\, laborers made the Lyman family’s life on a grand estate possible. \nHundreds of workers were employed as gardeners\, maids\, and farm hands during the Lyman Estate’s 150+ years of operation. Thousands more held positions in industries that helped the family prosper financially\, like the textile mills in Waltham and Holyoke in which the Lymans invested. Explore the working-class history of the Lyman Estate and visit areas of the house not usually on view during this new specialty tour. \nMember $15; Nonmember $20. \nPlease call (617) 994-5912 for more information. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: The Legacy of 1812—How a little war shaped the transatlantic world
DESCRIPTION:In this engaging dialogue\, noted historians Don Hickey and Bob Allison explore the enduring legacy of the War of 1812—how a seemingly small conflict reshaped the relationships among the United States\, Britain\, and Canada. They’ll discuss the war’s political and economic reverberations in New England\, its impact on transatlantic trade and diplomacy\, and the ways it continues to influence North American identity and memory today. This topic has particular resonance here at the Charles River Museum\, the site of Francis Cabot Lowell’s Boston Manufacturing Company\, whose prosperity was only possible due to trade disruptions caused by the War of 1812. \nCo-sponsored by The Society of the War of 1812 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.\nPre-talk ceremony at 6:15. The Mill Talk itself will begin at 7 p.m. \nThe talk is free\, but seating is limited and registration is recommended.

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: AT&T's Idea Factory—How Bell Labs invented the technology of the future
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will explain the origins and unique capabilities of Bell Laboratories\, AT&T’s vaunted R&D organization. The work at the Labs led to many of the most revolutionary technologies of the 20th century\, including the transistor\, the laser\, digital communications\, the solar cell\, and communications satellites. \nBut why was Bell Labs so innovative? What went on inside this remarkable organization? How did its engineers and scientists organize and conduct their work—and how did it help the phone company and enable modern communications? \nThis 45-minute talk will explain the importance and function of Bell Labs; it will also tell the in-depth story of two of the Labs’ most formative technologies: the transistor and solar cell. A question-and-answer period will follow afterwards. Presented by Jon Gertner\, journalist and historian. \nThe talk is free\, but seating is limited and registration is required.
