SUMMARY:Juneteenth Special Gallery Viewing
DESCRIPTION:June 19\, 2024\nCelebrate Juneteenth with us and enjoy a special viewing of the first floor gallery of the Old Stone House Museum! \nThis is your chance to see two of our latest exhibits. The first\, and NEW\, Strong Ties\, Forgotten Bonds\, explores the far-reaching impact of Brownington native William Barstow Strong\, who attended the Old Stone House under Alexander Twilight and became president of the Atchison\, Topeka\, and Santa Fe Railway. Strong shaped America and the world by leading the completion of a transcontinental rail system at time when there was an urgent need for the nation to come together. Located on the first floor of the Old Stone House\, the exhibit invites audiences to look at Strong’s frequently overlooked accomplishments in relation to the lives of those most heavily impacted by westward expansion \n \nIn the gallery next door we have updated\, A Call to Serve: Vermont and Unexpected Voices from the Civil War\, which celebrates the contributions of Vermonters\, Native Americans\, women\, African Americans\, and Canadians to preserving the nation through their sacrifices and valor in America’s deadliest conflict. The exhibit features artifacts and interpretive signs discussing the unequal treatment Black soldiers received\, the role of the Buffalo soldiers\, the national impact of St. Alban’s Raid\, the New York Draft Riots and Race Massacre\, and Vermont heroes Louden Langley\, Portus Baxter\, and Stephen Perry Jocelyn.  \n \nAdmission to the first floor galleries is FREE on Juneteenth!\n  \nGuided Tours of all 4 stories of the Old Stone House will be offered at 11a\, 1p\, and 3p.\nBook online to reserve your spot!\n  \nAdditional exhibits with Free\, Self-Guided Admission —\nAlso check out the NEW Cultivating Life in Nineteenth-Century Brownington exhibit! Housed in the Mitchell Barn\, it traces agricultural trends\, from the displacement of First Nations Abenaki inhabitants of Orleans County and the sheep craze that dramatically altered Vermont’s landscape to the state’s national prominence as leaders in hops\, potato starch\, and maple syrup production. \nFinally\, In a Different Hue: Race and Representation\, is now located on the main floor of the Alexander Twilight House\, and explores the themes of politics\, narrative imagination\, and stereotypes in relation to Orleans County history and the life and legacy of Alexander Lucius Twilight. \n
