Sacred Rebellion Curator's Tours

Join us at 14 Beacon for a special tour of the CLA’s new in-person exhibition with New England’s Hidden Histories Project Director and Sacred Rebellion curator, Dr. Tricia Peone.

The exhibition features many treasures from the CLA’s collections: sermons, books, poems, songs, and letters created by Massachusetts Congregationalists during and after the American Revolution. These objects reveal how Congregationalists understood their moral obligations to each other and debated questions of liberty and loyalty.

Attendees will view the exhibition with the curator, learn more about the objects on display, and gain a deeper understanding of the stories behind the exhibition. The discussion will also explore the unfinished business of the Revolution and the meaning of its legacy today.

Space is limited. Please register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sacred-rebellion-curators-tours-tickets-1345346921859?aff=oddtdtcreator

There is no registration fee, but a suggested cash donation of $10 per person will be gratefully accepted on site.

After registering, you will receive an email with information about attending the event.

Email any questions to programs@14beacon.org.
