SUMMARY:Birding Walk with NH Audubon
DESCRIPTION:Birding Walk\nwith NH Audubon\nSaturday\, August 2nd\, 2025\n8:00 – 9:30 am\nGift Shop at \nEnfield Shaker Museum \n447 NH Route 4A \nEnfield\, NH 03748 \nDiscover what makes a bird a bird in this beginner birding class. Learn the basics of bird identification\, the wide diversity of birds you might see in New Hampshire\, and some tools of the trade to help you name the birds around you. This walk will be lead by Devin Guilfoyle from the New Hampshire Audubon’s Newfound Center. The trails your group will be walking are on conservation land\, where you may have the chance to see a bobolink and other rare birds. \nDevin Guilfoyle was recently promoted to Newfound Centers Public Programs Coordinator. Hailing from Schenectady\, New York\, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Conservation Biology from St. Lawrence University with years of experience in environmental education taking him to Vermont\, Georgia\, Minnesota\, Maine\, and now New Hampshire! \n“I’ve always been interested in the natural world\, particularly birds\,” Devin says. His appreciation of nature began with exploring the woods behind his grandmother’s house as a child and solidified in his undergraduate studies through classes such as ecology\, ornithology\, and ecology of lakes and rivers. Through outdoor education and programming\, Devin strives “to inspire a sense of wonder about the natural world in visitors\, young and old. My hope is by inspiring this wonder\, people will be moved to conserve natural spaces.” \nCost: \nFree Admission \n*Advanced Registration is Required.

SUMMARY:2025 Mary Keane Chapel Summer Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:Mary Keane Chapel Summer Concert Series\nSunday\, August 10th\, 2025\n4:00 pm Start\nAll concerts will be held in the Mary Keane Chapel\nEnfield Shaker Museum\n447 NH Route 4A\nEnfield\, NH 03748\nshakermuseum.org \nSuggested donation $15.00. All concert donations support the ongoing restoration of the organ. \nAll concerts will be followed by a reception in the Museum Herb Garden (weather permitting) or in the Great Stone Dwelling. \nOrgan and Trumpet Recital\nMusical Fireworks: Trumpet and Organ music by Bach\, Purcell\, Mouret\, Hovaness\, and Peeters. \nTrumpeter Jacob Crawford has just finished his second year at Dartmouth College\, where he studies engineering with a focus on materials for application in the energy sector. His interest in music focuses on repertoire from the Baroque and Renaissance eras. He is also a ski instructor and soccer coach. Organist Henry Danaher is the Director of Music at The Church of Christ at Dartmouth College\, the principal accompanist for the Dartmouth College Glee Club\, and with the William Jewett Tucker Center\, serves as Dartmouth’s College Organist. Henry has given two solo organ recitals and co-directed three choral projects at the Mary Keane Chapel. \nHenry Danaher\n  \nJacob Crawford\nOrgan Restoration Update\nBob Waters and Richard Nickerson are continuing to address important restoration needs on the Casavant organ in the Museum’s Mary Keane Chapel. This fall and winter they removed and completely rebuilt the wind chest that receives and regulates the air pressure produced by the organ’s electric blower. This included replacing all the original leather work that controls the release of air to the organ pipes. In addition to maintaining the organ’s tuning\, they have been repairing coupling mechanisms that have failed. Unfortunately the Casavant company no longer makes certain replacement parts\, so some aspects of the restoration work requires creative problem solving. We are fortunate to\nhave two craftsmen\, well versed in the intricacies of Casavant organ construction\, caring for this precious instrument. \nThank you for your support of their ongoing restoration work.

SUMMARY:2025 Mary Keane Chapel Summer Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:Mary Keane Chapel Summer Concert Series\nSaturday\, August 16th\, 2025\n7:30 pm Start\nAll concerts will be held in the Mary Keane Chapel\nEnfield Shaker Museum\n447 NH Route 4A\nEnfield\, NH 03748\nshakermuseum.org \nSuggested donation $15.00. All concert donations support the ongoing restoration of the organ. \nAll concerts will be followed by a reception in the Museum Herb Garden (weather permitting) or in the Great Stone Dwelling. \nOrgan Accompaniment to Silent Films\nPeter Krasinski\nPeter Krasinski specializes in the art of live improvised silent film accompaniment\, worldwide. He is a consultant to performance venues\, educational institutions\, and the Pipe Organ Community. He is currently the Prinicpal Organist at Mechanics Hall in Worcester\, MA.This evening of summer fun will be a ”double feature” starting with the beautiful film The Red Balloon\, an award-winning short film elegantly capturing the adventures of a boy who befriends a seemingly sentient balloonand follows it through the streets of Paris. Followed by The Cameraman a 1928 American silent romantic comedy film directed by Edward Sedgwick and starring Buster Keaton. \nPeter Krasinski\nOrgan Restoration Update\nBob Waters and Richard Nickerson are continuing to address important restoration needs on the Casavant organ in the Museum’s Mary Keane Chapel. This fall and winter they removed and completely rebuilt the wind chest that receives and regulates the air pressure produced by the organ’s electric blower. This included replacing all the original leather work that controls the release of air to the organ pipes. In addition to maintaining the organ’s tuning\, they have been repairing coupling mechanisms that have failed. Unfortunately the Casavant company no longer makes certain replacement parts\, so some aspects of the restoration work requires creative problem solving. We are fortunate to\nhave two craftsmen\, well versed in the intricacies of Casavant organ construction\, caring for this precious instrument. \nThank you for your support of their ongoing restoration work.

People have been using plant fibers to make paper for nearly 2\,000 years\, and in the present day the practice offers endless possibilities as a creative and artistic medium. This class will go through the traditional western-style papermaking process step-by-step: understanding different types of fiber and where they come from\, processing the plants and making pulp\, forming sheets\, adding decorative inclusions from in and around the garden\, and pressing and drying the sheets. Everyone will make several pieces of paper to use for their own art and craft projects\, for writing letters\, or simply to appreciate as art in its own right. You’ll also learn some strategies for making paper at home in a relatively small space without the need for much specialized equipment! \n \n*Please wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet\, and be mindful of the weather for this outdoor workshop. We will have pop-up tents for light rain\, and have an indoor location if it is too wet or stormy outside. \nLearn more about Emma Percy: \nEmma Percy (they/them) is an artist\, community herbalist\, and educator from Buffalo\, NY\, now based in the Upper Valley of VT & NH. They work primarily in book arts and fiber arts and are focused on creating artwork in conversation with nature and ecology.
