SUMMARY:Holiday Traditions Potluck
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Society of Cheshire County is hosting a Holiday Traditions Potluck on Saturday\, December 16 from noon to 1:30 pm. In the style of a “pop up exhibit” the theme of the event will be holiday recipe traditions. Community members are invited to bring dishes that have special meaning to their families. Participants will share their dishes and swap stories about their families’ holiday traditions. Holiday recipes can range from any time of the year and any food culture traditions.\n\nJenna Carroll\, the director of education at the Historical Society\, hopes the event will celebrate the mosaic of cultures that make up Cheshire County. Carroll says\, “We tested the idea of a pop up potluck at the Historical Society in September\, and we were very pleased with the outcome. There were recipes that had been passed down in families for generations. We had Finnish pannukakku\, Italian ravioli\, Lebanese salad\, and Indian curry. I remember one of the participants saying she never thought she would have spent so much time sharing stories with someone who wasn’t like her.”\n\nAdmission is free for anyone who brings a dish to share\, and the Historical Society will collect the recipes to be published in a cookbook of Cheshire County traditions. The project is supported in part by a grant from the Finlandia Foundation.\n\nBring your recipe to share along with your dish.\n\nPlease contact Jenna with questions at dired@hsccnh.org or call 603/352-1895\n

SUMMARY:Collective Memories of Race in the American Revolution and the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Wednesday\, November 15 \nEvent:  Presentation: “Collective Memories of Race in the American Revolution and Civil War” \nTime:  7 pm \nLocation: Historical Society of Cheshire County\, 246 Main St.\, Keene \nAdmission:  Free \nHistorical Society of Cheshire County to Host Presentation on Collective Memories of Race \n  \nOn Wednesday\, November 15 at 7 pm the Historical Society of Cheshire County will host a presentation on “Collective Memories of Race in the American Revolution and Civil War.” Two history professors from Keene State College\, Gregory Knouff and Graham Warder\, will talk about intersections of race and memory in United States history. Their presentation will be a reprise of a talk they gave in September at a “teach-in” at Keene State College. \n  \nProfessor Graham Warder teaches 19th-century U.S. history including the Civil War. His emphasis is on social and cultural history. Warder expects a lively discussion after the presentation. “People have strong opinions about Civil War memory\,” he says\, “and specifically about monuments and what to do about them.” \n  \nWarder points out that there is a difference between the terms “history” and “memory” and the “history of memory.” Memory is often more selective and dependent on current political issues and context. “There’s a lot of remembering\, a lot of forgetting\, and a lot of rewriting of what happened\,” says Warder. \n  \nProfessor Gregory Knouff teaches about the North American and Atlantic World in the 17th and 18th centuries. His specialties are colonial and revolutionary North America. Knouff will talk about how concepts of history change over time. Knouff says\, “Most people think of the American Revolution as a unified struggle for the greater good\, but that’s inaccurate. Americans were deeply divided\, and slavery was a major issue.” He adds\, “Tens of thousands of slaves sought their freedom in the American Revolution.” \n  \nKnouff hopes that the presentation will lead people to reflect on the complexity of history and simple collective memories. Following the presentation\, refreshments will be served. For more information\, contact the Historical Society at 352-1895. \n  \nThe Historical Society of Cheshire County is located at 246 Main Street in Keene. The organization has been collecting\, preserving\, and communicating the history of Cheshire County for 90 years. The Society puts on about 150 programs each year to help people of all ages “find their place in history.” For more information\, visit hsccnh.org or call 603.352.1895.

SUMMARY:Historic Gravestone Rededication
DESCRIPTION:Historic Gravestone Rededication \nPlease join the Historical Society of Cheshire County and the City of Keene as we rededicate the gravestone of 9-year-old Betty Clark.  Betty died in 1761 and was buried at the Ash Swamp Cemetery in West Keene.  Her stone\, removed more than 130 years ago\, was recently found and returned to its original site in the cemetery. \n  \nBetty’s gravestone was found in the front steps at a historic home near the cemetery when the owner was repairing the steps. Someone probably removed it\, or it had fallen\, and they simply took it to use as a doorstep at the house. The Historical Society worked with the City of Keene to return the stone to the cemetery\, adjacent to the slate stone of her father Simeon Clark. Betty Clark died on March 9\, 1761\, more than 250 years ago\, when Keene was a small farming community of less than 400 residents. \n  \nHer stone will be rededicated in a ceremony at the Ash Swamp Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on November 14.  At that event Historical Society executive director Alan Rumrill will speak briefly about Betty’s story\, the history of the cemetery\, and the discovery and replacement of the stone. The Rev. Elsa Worth of St. James Episcopal Church will consecrate the grave and offer brief prayers of committal.  The public is invited to attend.  The cemetery is located on West Street near the Keene Country Club.

SUMMARY:Civil War Walking Tour with William Marvel
DESCRIPTION:Civil War historian and author William Marvel will lead a Civil War walk in Keene’s Woodland and Greenlawn Cemeteries at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday October 14.  Marvel\, author of An End to Innocence\, Cheshire County Faces the Civil War\, will discuss Keene’s experience in the War by visiting the graves of representatives of the various factions.  At the graves of politicians\, soldiers\, and civilians he will discuss their respective viewpoints on the major issues of the day\, the factors that may have influenced their positions\, the motives behind their service (or their failure to serve)\, and the reasons for their support of (or opposition to) the war. As we migrate from the older portion of the cemetery to the newer sections we will drift into the postwar era\, reflecting on how the decisions men made in the 1860s influenced their futures.  Questions will be entertained at each stop. \n  \nThe book An End to Innocence will be available for purchase and signing by the author.  This event is co-sponsored by the Historical Society of Cheshire County and S.G. Griffin Camp #10\, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. \n  \nWe will meet at the Beaver Street entrance to the cemetery at 11:00 a.m.  Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water and an umbrella\, if needed.

SUMMARY:Dual Language Poetry Event with Chinese and Monadnock region pastoral poets
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 11.  7pm.  Historical Society of Cheshire County\, 246 Main Street \nDual Language Poetry Event with Chinese and Monadnock region pastoral poets. \n  \nHistorical Society of Cheshire County Hosts Dual Language Pastoral Poetry Event on October 11 \nWednesday\, October 11 at 7 pm the Historical Society of Cheshire County is hosting a dual language poetry event. Chinese pastoral poets and Monadnock pastoral poets will read poems in Mandarin and English. There will be musical interludes and a dancelike demonstration of Kung Fu as well. The event at the Historical Society\, 246 Main Street in Keene\, is being held in conjunction with a three-day colloquium at Keene State College’s Mason Library: The Magic of Monadnock\, Poetry Bridging Continents. \nRodger Martin\, Keene State College adjunct journalism professor and poet\, will introduce the poets and talk about the impact of a geographical feature (Mount Monadnock and Maoshan) on both communities. Martin says\, “Often times the word “pastoral” is misinterpreted as that of a church pastor and his or her congregation or the pastoral\, agricultural quality of a rural existence.  In the case of the Monadnock Pastoral Poets\, these poets care\, in an almost spiritual way\, for the language and the place which gave meaning to that language.”  Martin has lectured and read his own poetry in Shanghai and Nanjing. \nThe featured Chinese pastoral poets are Zi Chuan\, Chenn Yihai\, and Mi Zheng-Ying. \nZi Chuan (pen name of Zhang Rong-cai) was born in Gaoyou County\, Jiangsu Province. His works have been translated into English\, French\, German\, Japanese and Korean. He is the recipient of an Excellent Editor Award of Jiangsu Province\, the Purple Mountain Poetry Prize (2005)\, and the Third Chinese Poetry Biennial Award (2011-2012). \nChenn Yihai was born in Dongtai\, Jiangsu Province. He is Professor and Dean of the School of Chinese Language & Literature at Yancheng Teachers University (YCTU). In addition to his own publications\, he has translated many of the Western classics into Chinese. He is the recipient of the Purple Mountain Literature Award (2011). \nMi Zheng-Ying (pseudonym Blue Lotus) was born in Jiangbian\, Shaanxi Province. She is an editor in the Jurong Radio and Television Station\, Jiangsu Province. Her publications include The Mild-Climated Regions in the South of the Yangtze River (2010) and My Melancholy Seems not Blue Enough (2014). \nThe featured Monadnock pastoral poets are John Hodgen\, Susan Roney-O’Brien\, Henry Walters\, and James Beschta. \nJohn Hodgen teaches at Assumption College in Worcester\, and he has received the AWP Donald Hall Prize in Poetry and the Chad Walsh Prize in Poetry. Susan Roney-O’Brien has been chosen Poet of the Year by the New England Association of Teachers of English and has won the William and Kingman Poetry Book Award. Henry Walters from Dublin\, New Hampshire has worked as a teacher\, a naturalist\, a falconer\, and the steward of a wildlife sanctuary. He was a finalist for the 2016 Kate Tufts Discovery Award.  James Beschta teaches poetry and writing at the Worcester Art Museum and he has won Promethean Lamp and Frank O’Hara Poetry Awards. \nThe Historical Society of Cheshire County is located at 246 Main Street in Keene.

SUMMARY:Candlelight Open House on Main Street
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 6\, 2017.  7pm-8:30pm.  Wyman Tavern & Horatio Colony House Museum\, Main St. \nAnnual Candlelight Open House on Main Street \nJourney back into the 18th and 19th centuries on Friday\, October 6th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Two of Keene’s historic Main Street homes\, the Wyman Tavern and Horatio Colony House Museum\, will hold candlelight open houses from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. This great family event offers an opportunity to view the warmth and charm of these two Keene landmarks as they were before electricity – lit only with candles. The Wyman Tavern at 339 Main Street was built in 1762 and used as a tavern by the Wyman family for more than 40 years.  With reenactors stationed in each room\, visitors to the Tavern can play Colonial games of chance\, listen to some 18th century tunes\, and tour the house. \n  \nThe Horatio Colony House Museum at 199 Main Street is a Federal style home built in 1806 by Abel Blake\, son of one of Keene’s first settlers.  In the late 19th century\, it became the home of a branch of the Colony family connected with the Faulkner Colony Woolen Mill on West Street and the Cheshire Mill in Harrisville. Horatio Colony II was the last of the family to live in the house which is filled with original family furnishings and collections from around the world\, spanning the 18th through late 19th century. The home is completely intact\, reflecting three generations of the family living for 130 years. \n  \nThese collaborative candlelight open houses are free and open to the public. Separated by about two blocks\, both museums are within walking distance of each other.  For further information about the Wyman Tavern\, contact the Historical Society at 352-1895 or view its website at www.hsccnh.org. For information about the Horatio Colony House Museum call at 352-0460 or visit its website at www.horatiocolonymuseum.org.

SUMMARY:NH Film Series 2017 : The Little American with Mary Pickford
DESCRIPTION:September 13\, 2017. 7pm. Historical Society of Cheshire County\, 246 Main Street\, Keene \nFilm: The Little American with Mary Pickford (1917) \nOne hundred years ago\, the silent film The Little American played at the Scenic Theater on Main Street in Keene from October 3rd-4th\, 1917. World War One\, by that time\, had been raging for two and a half years. Anti-German representation in numerous WWI films dominated the screen from 1917 well into 1920— political posters and political cartoons pictured the German as a beast\, a rapist\, a ravaging demon\, often holding a mostly-naked woman in its talons. The Little American is at the extreme end of this spectrum\, and as such it can be difficult to watch\, only alleviated by placing the film in the context of its time. However\, the film was popular\, and was a commercial success. One modern critic considers it “a fine\, fast paced\, early romantic war action drama.” The Little American\, directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Mary Pickford\, was released on July 12th\, 1917\, three months after America’s entry into the war. On Wednesday\, September 13th at 7pm the Historical Society of Cheshire County will show the film and host a discussion about its historical context. Discussion will be led by Keene State College film professor and documentarian Larry Benaquist. Live music by Jeff Rapsis will accompany the film. Admission is free to the public. For more info contact: 603.352.1895 or hscc@hsccnh.org.
