20th Century Pop-Up Exhibit & BenefitSaturday October 20
6:00 - 8:00 PM

Stop by to view a pop-up exhibit of early 20th century items from the SHS’s collections and contribute through a Collections Adoption silent auction to Phase III of our "Campaign to Make History."

Join us for an evening of music, drinks and a taste of what's to come at the Sudbury History Center! Bring a friend or two to spread the word about the SHS’s popular collections!

A week prior to this benefit, we will open the online portion of our Phase III fundraising effort. SHS collections "adoption" and Sudbury History Center naming opportunities will be available in connection with donations. More information is available on our new blog, SHS Conversations. This fundraising will continue during and after the 20th Century Pop-Up Exhibit. We have a $20,000 goal to kick off Phase III, so please consider becoming a part of the Sudbury History Center story!

Tickets are $25 a person and can be ordered in advance RSVP here.

Let the Landscape Speak Tuesday October 23
7:00 PM

A Talk on the Importance and Meaning of the Indigenous Ceremonial Stone Landscape. The hills and valleys of New England are dotted with living prayers of stone (Ceremonial Stone Landscapes) created by the indigenous peoples of this region. These stone structures were built to create and restore harmony between human beings and Mother Earth. The prayers that they embody continue to live as long as the stones are kept intact.

The Town of Sudbury, in conjunction with its sponsors Protect Sudbury and the Sudbury Historical Society, will host a panel of experts led by Bettina Washington to educate the Sudbury community on the presence and meaning of sacred ceremonial landscapes in our community, the important place in history that the Town of Sudbury holds for the Indigenous peoples of the Northeast region, and to share insights from the preliminary walkthrough along the proposed Eversource project path as well as research that has been conducted on known indigenous ceremonial sites in Sudbury.
