SUMMARY:Inheriting Freedom: An Intergenerational Tour
DESCRIPTION:One tour\, two stories! Come learn about the Black abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the white anti-slavery author Harriet Beecher Stowe. We’ll explore their stories from the time they were young children until they became famous authors\, paying special attention to the importance of love\, family\, and education in their lives. Did you know that Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write in secret as a child? Or that Douglass was aided in his extraordinary escape to freedom by his wife-to-be\, Anna Murray? Did you know that Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous work of anti-slavery fiction\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin\, was directly inspired by Frederick Douglass and other Black activists of the 19th century? Our interactive\, conversation-based tour is designed to explore some of the hardest moments in U.S. history in an empowering\, age-appropriate way. Step back in time with us\, touch and hold historical objects and documents that help this history come alive\, and join in a conversation about how all of us have the power to create change. \n [Designed to be enjoyed by visitors ages 6 and above.]

SUMMARY:Yours Truly: 19th Century Letters from Our Archive
DESCRIPTION:Our archive holds a wealth of fascinating correspondence\, scrapbooks\, diaries\, and other materials that offer unique perspectives into the interior lives of some of the most influential people of the 19th century. We invite our public into close contact with some of our most insightful\, curious\, enlightening\, and humorous archival holdings for monthly gatherings where we read letters from our collection. We hold letters from Frederick Douglass\, Harriet Jacobs\, William Lloyd Garrison\, and other progressive thinkers of the 19th century\, in addition of course to those written by the extensive and active Beecher family. This gathering will meet and read copies of historic letters from our archive\, with the original on display. Together\, we will work through not only 19th century handwriting (transcript will be available) but the topics\, thoughts\, emotional reactions these writers held. 19th century correspondence was both a semi-private and semi-public affair\, and letters offer a unique glimpse into the personality and interiority of individuals. We hope you’ll join Cat White\, Director of Historic Collections\, as we bring our letters out of the archives!
