SUMMARY:Collecting Dennison History
DESCRIPTION:Panel of Presenters: Michelle Geller\, Patricia Lavin\, James Parr\, Nancy Prince\, Anita Rotenberg\, & Susan Silva \nGiven the months of stay-at-home directives during the pandemic\, many people have been rediscovering buried treasure in their attics.  As a result\, we have been getting a lot of calls from people wanting to learn more about their Dennison Manufacturing Company ephemera.  Their questions have caused us to dig more deeply into our own vast Dennison collection where we have found even more fascinating facts about the company.  In this way\, Dennison lives on and as Pat Lavin\, author of WELCOME to Dennison Manufacturing Co. says\, “it’s forever giving.”  Pat is among a volunteer corps of Dennison enthusiasts who help us research these questions. \nWhat is it about Dennison products that attracts so many collectors?  Join us for a panel discussion featuring collectors from the East Coast to the West Coast.  They will reveal how they got into collecting Dennison items while displaying some of their most prized possessions over a Zoom webinar\, and the unique ways in which they share their passion for these iconic products. \nTickets can be purchased up until 6pm on 5/6. Questions? Email laura@framinghamhistory.org. *This event is part of the 2021 Program Package*

SUMMARY:AstroNights LIVE: No Planet B: Exoplanets and Earth Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:As we approach Earth day\, our planet – and its unique ability to support life of all kinds – is at the forefront of our minds. For centuries\, humans have looked up at the sky and wondered: is there anywhere out there like Earth? While we haven’t found evidence to suggest the presence of life on the planets close by\, there are plenty of other places to look. This month\, AstroNights is all about the planets outside of our solar system: exoplanets. We’ll talk about how we find them\, how many there are\, and how they compare to our home planet. Plus\, we’ll show you where and when to look in the sky to see some of our nearest celestial neighbors\, Venus and Mars.

SUMMARY:Wallace Nutting: Father of the Colonial Revival Movement
DESCRIPTION:Framingham’s Wallace Nutting was an American renaissance man.  He was a minister\, photographer\, furniture maker\, preservationist\, and the father of the Colonial Revival movement.  From his factory in Framingham\, Nutting produced prints and furniture meant to evoke “old New England\,” which became must-have decorative items for the growing American middle class.  His style influenced design\, art\, and architecture for half a century.  Linda Palmer\, author of Wallace Nutting: Father of the Colonial Revival Movement\, will share the highlights of a life well-lived. After thirty years of research\, Palmer has compiled a tremendous amount of material\, images\, and historical furniture that propel this book from a biography to a researcher’s guide to all things Nutting. Prepare for Palmer’s talk by purchasing her book here or read about Nutting on our Framingham’s Top 10 exhibition. \nThis pre-recorded program will be accessible for 24 hours with a ticket purchase. \nTickets can be purchased up until 10am on 4/15. Questions?
