SUMMARY:Reading Frederick Douglass Together at Hale Farm
DESCRIPTION:Historic Beverly invites the community to participate in our annual Reading Frederick Douglass Together program\, a powerful public reading of Frederick Douglass’s landmark July 5\, 1852 speech\, “What\, to the Slave\, is the Fourth of July?” \nAs part of this statewide initiative led by Mass Humanities\, community members volunteer to read portions of Douglass’s speech aloud\, reflecting on its enduring call for freedom\, justice\, and equality. This year marks Historic Beverly’s fifth Reading Frederick Douglass event and coincides with Beverly’s 400th anniversary celebration\, making this year’s gathering especially meaningful. \nWe are honored to welcome renowned Frederick Douglass historian and interpreter Nathan Richardson\, who brings Douglass’s words and presence to life through his acclaimed first-person interpretation. Richardson’s powerful performances have inspired audiences nationwide and create a deeply moving connection to one of America’s most important voices. \nFollowing the reading\, guests are invited to stay for a special concert performance by the David Eure Duo. Known for blending jazz\, improvisation\, and storytelling\, the ensemble will close the morning with a dynamic musical celebration of community\, culture\, and reflection. \nHistoric Beverly is currently seeking volunteer readers from across the community to participate in this year’s program. Whether you are a returning participant or attending for the first time\, all are welcome to take part in this shared reading experience. To volunteer email: education@historicbeverly.net \nHistoric Beverly extends sincere thanks to Mass Humanities and the Mass Cultural Council for their generous support through the Reading Frederick Douglass Together grant program\, which helps make this event possible. Additional support is provided by the North Shore MA NAACP and Beantrust Coffeebar. \nLearn more about Nathan Richardson at www.scpublishing.com\nLearn more about David Eure at www.necmusic.edu/faculty/david-eure/

SUMMARY:Member Morning: Behind the Scenes of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:NOTE DATE CHANGE! This program will take place on Friday morning (6/26) instead of Saturday (6/27). \nHistoric Beverly members are invited to an exclusive early look at Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy before the exhibition opens to the public the following week. \nThis special Member Morning program offers a behind-the-scenes exploration of the exhibition’s development\, themes\, and featured objects while providing deeper insight into the enduring global impact of the Declaration of Independence. Guests will hear from Historic Beverly staff about the curatorial process\, the significance of the exhibition’s primary source materials\, and the remarkable story behind Beverly’s connection to the Declaration through General John Glover’s July 17\, 1776 public reading at Independence Park. \nOn loan from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History\, Declaration 1776 examines how the revolutionary assertion that “all men are created equal” became one of the most influential ideas in modern history. Through rare documents\, images\, and firsthand accounts\, the exhibition traces how the Declaration inspired abolitionist movements\, civil rights struggles\, and global fights for self-determination across generations. \nCentered around the reading copy of the Declaration used by General John Glover in Beverly in 1776\, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the promise\, power\, and continuing evolution of equality and democracy in America and around the world. \nJoin us for this first look at this powerful new exhibition before it officially opens to the public. \nNot a Historic Beverly member but want to attend? Join here: https://historicbeverly.net/membership/

SUMMARY:Sunday Morning Book Talk with Andrea Wulf: Founding Gardeners
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning Book Talk with Andrea Wulf\nFounding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation\, Nature\, and the Shaping of the American Nation \nJoin Historic Beverly for a special Sunday morning conversation with award-winning historian and bestselling author Andrea Wulf as she explores her acclaimed book Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation\, Nature\, and the Shaping of the American Nation. \nIn this engaging talk\, Wulf reveals how America’s founding fathers understood the natural world not simply as a backdrop to history\, but as central to the creation of the nation itself. George Washington\, John Adams\, Thomas Jefferson\, and James Madison considered themselves first and foremost farmers\, gardeners\, and botanists. Their deep passion for agriculture\, plants\, and the landscape shaped both their personal lives and their political vision for the new republic. \nThrough vivid storytelling and rich historical detail\, Andrea Wulf examines how nature became political in Revolutionary America\, how native crops and species emerged as patriotic symbols\, and why James Madison can be considered the forgotten father of American environmentalism. Blending politics\, horticulture\, and biography\, Founding Gardeners offers a fresh and compelling perspective on the Revolutionary generation and the world they cultivated. \nAndrea Wulf is an internationally celebrated historian and author whose works include Founding Gardeners and the bestselling The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World\, a New York Times bestseller published in 27 languages and winner of fifteen international literary awards\, including the Royal Society Science Book Prize and the Costa Biography Award. Her newest book\, The Traveler\, will be published in June 2026. Wulf is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and lives in London. \nLearn more about Andrea Wulf at www.andreawulf.com. \nLight brunch fare included in ticket price. Book signing after the lecture.

SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversation: Private Johnny Johnston’s Story & Beverly Military Women
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Beverly for a special Coffee & Conversation program exploring the remarkable story of Private Johnny Johnston (Edith Johnston) and the experiences of Beverly women who served during times of war and national service. \nIn July 1942\, Edith Johnston became one of the pioneering women to enlist in the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC)\, the first official women’s military organization in United States history. Through Johnston’s firsthand memoir\, participants will gain an unfiltered look at military life during World War II from the perspective of a woman serving not on the sidelines\, but at the center of the war effort. \nThis program will examine Johnston’s experiences alongside the broader history of the WAACs\, whose members worked side by side with male servicemen under demanding wartime conditions. Their service challenged expectations\, expanded opportunities for women in the military\, and played a critical role in supporting Allied victory during World War II. \nBeyond one individual story\, this conversation highlights the often-overlooked contributions of thousands of women whose dedication\, sacrifice\, and determination helped reshape both military service and American society. Historians estimate the work of the WAACs and women serving in related military roles helped shorten the war by as much as two years. \nGuests will also explore connections to Beverly’s own military women and the ways local stories intersect with larger national and global events. \nJoin us for coffee\, conversation\, and an inspiring look at the courage\, resilience\, and legacy of women whose service helped change history. \nCoffee generously provided by https://www.beantrustcoffee.com/

SUMMARY:First Friday: Behind the scenes at the Hale House
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the “First Friday” of the month. Historic Beverly’s monthly program series exploring local history through engaging talks and presentations. \nThis month\, discover the long and fascinating history of the Rev.

This program explores both the history of the house and the ongoing preservation efforts shaping its future. \nRegistration is mandatory\, admission is free\, donation appreciated. Join us for this monthly tradition of learning and discovery.

SUMMARY:Member Mornings: Behind the Scenes at the Balch House
DESCRIPTION:Historic Beverly members are invited to a special behind-the-scenes tour of the John Balch House\, one of the oldest surviving homes in Massachusetts. First settled by John Balch\, an early colonist who arrived in New England in the 1620s and established his homestead along the Bass River by 1636\, the property offers a remarkable window into early colonial life. \nDuring this exclusive members-only program\, explore areas of the house not typically open to the public and learn how the structure evolved over three centuries\, from a modest seventeenth-century dwelling to the restored historic landmark we see today. Staff will share insights into the house’s architecture\, preservation history\, and ongoing restoration efforts that continue to safeguard this extraordinary survivor of early New England. \nNot a Historic Beverly member?
