SUMMARY:Conversations on the Commons: 250th Anniversary of the American Revolutionary War
DESCRIPTION:Casting A Broader Net: Telling New Stories for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolutionary War \nApril 8\, 2022\, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. \nA Conversation with Patrice Todisco\, Executive Director of Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area; Jonathan Lane\, Coordinator of Revolution250; and Juliet Jacobson\, Board member of the Pioneer Valley History Network \nWe’re hard by the 250th anniversary of the Revolution and plans are cropping up everywhere. Across the Commonwealth\, they seem to have one thing in common: a need to explore the smaller\, human stories of the American Revolution. The approaching semiquincentennial is an opportunity to tell a multifaceted history that includes the experience of all people in the Commonwealth: militia members\, heroes\, women\, servants\, enslaved\, rich and poor\, children and adults\, loyalists and patriots. They plan to share stories we’ve known\, and stories we still need to uncover. Are you ready to start planning for 2026? What’s out there? What angle is your town taking? \nRegistration is free. REGISTER HERE.\n \nThis Conversation will be livestreamed. We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the livestream. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Jonathan Lane has more than 30 years’ experience in public history\, tourism and cultural programming. While his employment has led him to many leading institutions\, including Plimoth Plantation\, the American Antiquarian Society\, Berklee College of Music and now\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, his historical studies has taken him to libraries and archives throughout the U.S. and United Kingdom. He is the author of numerous small monographs\, and the editor of From the Potomac to the Etowah\, the Civil War Correspondence of Alonzo Hall Quint. He is currently the Coordinator of Revolution 250\, a consortium of more than 70 organizations across the Commonwealth\, working together on the commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Juliet Jacobson is a user interface and user experience designer specializing in history and humanities websites and interactive exhibits for museum settings. She has designed many award-winning\, family-friendly sites about American history and other humanities topics.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				As the Executive Director for the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area\, Patrice Todisco works in partnership with the National Park Service to oversee the implementation of programs and projects designed to interpret\, promote\, and preserve the cultural\, natural\, and historic resources of 45 communities in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. With a background in cultural landscape management\, urban planning\, and landscape architecture\, she has held leadership positions in the public and non-profit sectors managing organizations\, projects and processes that preserve\, expand\, and enhance the public realm and urban open space. As a writer\, landscape historian and independent researcher\, Patrice explores themes relating to culture\, design\, and the environment.\n				\n		\n\nQuestions? Be in touch with Caroline Littlewood: commons@masshistoryalliance.org \n\nConversations on the Commons \nWhere people from Massachusetts history organizations get to vent\, empathize\, laugh\, complain\, think\, collaborate\, brainstorm\, plan\, and in general be up to no good.
