SUMMARY:A Town Divided: Deerfield in the Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Currency: One Shilling Four Pence\, engraved by Paul Revere\, Jr. (1734–1818)\, Boston\, MA\, 1775. Ink on paper. HD 2016.808.\nThis exhibition explores how a rural Massachusetts community responded to the upheaval of the late 1760s through the 1780s. Using objects\, documents\, and personal narratives\, it will present multiple perspectives on how Deerfield residents embraced\, rejected\, or questioned Revolutionary ideals. While many associate the Revolution with Boston or battlefield sites\, A Town Divided brings the promises—and contradictions—of the Revolution to life through the lens of a deeply divided rural town in western Massachusetts. \nAs in other communities\, Deerfield’s citizens struggled to adapt to an everchanging social\, political\, and economic landscape as rebellion and war affected villages far from urban centers and coastal cities. In Deerfield\, which was evenly split between Loyalists and Whigs\, conflicts between neighbors upturned lives and polarized the community. By expanding and interpreting Deerfield’s stories\, the exhibition investigates overlooked aspects of the Revolution\, highlighting a period when Americans faced severe challenges but eventually emerged a new nation. \n \nObjects\, documents\, and voices from the period allow us to access the urgency and uncertainty of the era. The ideals of equality and liberty engaged not only Loyalists and Whigs\, but also rich and poor\, women and children\, African Americans (both free and enslaved)\, and Indigenous people. \nThis program is made possible by a grant from Mass Humanities\, which provided funding through the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

SUMMARY:Dressing the Revolution: Fashion and Politics 1760–1789
DESCRIPTION:Matthew and Mary Darly (English) Oh Heigh Oh\, Or a View of the Back Settlements. England\, London\, 1776. Engraving on laid paper with hand-coloring. Gift of Henry N. Flynt and Helen Geier Flynt\, HD 56.029.\nThe exhibition includes more than 20 garments\, accessories\, textiles\, and prints that illuminate the complex role of clothing at the time of the American Revolution. By posing new questions about fashion’s relationship with class\, race\, and gender\, Dressing the Revolution: Fashion and Politics 1760–1789 places clothing at the center of the political debates\, shedding light on dress as a powerful tool that communicated not just status and identity\, but political affinities during this volatile period. \nThe exhibition begins with a look at the consumer revolution of the mid-18th century when an abundance of highly desirable imported goods\, especially finished cloth and accessories\, became widely available to all levels of society in the Colonies. Fashionable dress connected Colonists with England but also contributed to the construction of personal identities and social status\, while providing the potential for social mobility. \nWhen Britain imposed onerous taxes in the 1760s\, perceptions around wearing fashionable dress began to change. Patriots called for non-importation and nonconsumption of British goods while advocating for more sober\, American-made clothing. Women stepped into new political roles through the many highly publicized spinning bees\, putting action to words in their industry and self sacrifice. While the Homespun Movement remained largely symbolic\, it nevertheless changed the narrative around the public display of clothing. \nFashionable dress remained a topic of heated debate\, and public scrutiny\, when consumption of imported goods resumed after the tariffs were lifted. Clothes\, whether modest or fashionable\, could be read for their political implications. When the Revolution brought closed ports and hardship\, Colonists often made due by maintaining and altering existing clothes and dressing more plainly. The show concludes with a look at dressing in the new Nation and the conflicting urges to balance familiar calls for republican modesty and virtue with a new eagerness for American-produced fashions. \nThis program is made possible by a grant from The Coby Foundation.

SUMMARY:Living History Event: Capt. Mighill's Grenadier Company of the 26th Continental Regiment
DESCRIPTION:Capt. Mighill’s Grenadier Company of the 26th Continental Regiment \nDate: October 3\nTime: 10–4 p.m.\nLocation: Hall Tavern \nCome learn about a unique element of Washington’s Continental Army. Unlike the British Army\, which had a grenadier company in each infantry regiment\, the Continental Army had few grenadiers—only one or two regimental companies\, plus one or two militia grenadier companies that predated the Revolution. The grenadiers of the 26th Continental Regiment wore a woolen cap embroidered with “GW” for George Washington and “REGIMENT XXVI\,” as seen on a surviving cap in the collection of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian. The group is making coats of distinctive reddish “London Brown” wool\, faced in pale buff\, with pewter buttons bearing the number “26\,” along with grenadier caps.

SUMMARY:Cordelia’s Dad - Acoustic Show
DESCRIPTION:The only band to have performed with both Doc Watson and Nirvana.\n \nLocal heroes Cordelia’s Dad forged an unusual career in the 1980s and 90s as a post-punk band playing traditional American folksong\, especially ballads\, fiddle tunes and “shapenote” music from New England and Southern Appalachia. \nIn this rare reunion appearance at Historic Deerfield\, founding members Tim Eriksen and Peter Irvine will be joined by singer and multi-instrumentalist Linnea Sablosky in a retrospective of the band’s quieter\, acoustic side\, featuring fiddle\, banjo\, acoustic guitar and three part harmony in selections from albums that exposed a host of young artists to the power of folksong. \nTheir influential and critically acclaimed acoustic albums Comet (1995) and Spine (1998) were both recorded locally and live with no edits or overdubs by Mark Alan Miller and Steve Albini. Come see them in Deerfield\, MA this fall! \nTickets are $25 ($20 for members) and $10 for youth ages 17 and under.  \nBUY TICKETS \nReviews of Cordelia’s Dad…\n“Revitalizes these songs of love and death with passion\, taste\, and talent.” – NPR All Things Considered \n“They refuse to see the difference between the mournful ballads of 19th-century Appalachia and the rawest punk rock\, and their genre-shattering but ultimately natural-sounding marriage of the two.” – Valley Advocate \n“Cordelia’s Dad may well be the first band suitable for both the alternative rock crowd and the congregation of a snake-handling church.” – CMJ
