We invite you to join us on Monday June 5, 2023 at the Devens Commons Center in Devens, MA for Taking History to Town.
Together, we’ll explore how local and regional historical organizations around the Commonwealth are working hard to expand the boundaries of collecting, engaging, and connecting with different, new, and more diverse audiences. When we leave our buildings to become part of the community, we are inviting the community to be part of us.
The conference will feature keynote speaker Marieke van Damme, fifteen sessions, and plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with colleagues from across the state. View a program overview here, and keep an eye out for the full program in the coming days.
Registration also includes the opportunity to sign up for four different afternoon workshops – sessions limited to a small number of participants to facilitate discussions with experts. Be sure to register early to guarantee your spot!
REGISTER NOW for the Early Bird discount. We can’t wait to see you there!
