SUMMARY:Enfield Shaker Museum 2025 Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Enfield Shaker Museum\n2025 Annual Meeting\nSunday\, November 9th\, 2025\n2:00 – 4:00 pm\nGreat Stone Dwelling Meeting Room and Zoom Online\nJoin us for the Enfield Shaker Museum 2025 Annual Members Meeting. The meeting will kick off with board and staff introductions followed by a special presentation by Andrew Cushing of Mascoma Valley Preservation. Andrew Cushing leads the regional nonprofit\, Mascoma Valley Preservation. Prior to that\, he worked for the NH Preservation Alliance and Bureau of Historic Sites at NH State Parks. He has visited every town in New Hampshire\, authored 88 historic register nominations\, and co-authored over 20 historic building assessments. He has seen a lot of schoolhouse museums. He’s kept on his financial tippy toes by restoring several old houses in his hometown of Grafton\, skills he was not necessarily taught at Bowdoin College or the University of Pennsylvania where he got his expensive degrees.  \nThis will be followed by our annual business meeting which includes highlights of the past year\, plans for the future\, and the election of new Board members and officers. \n2:00 pm | Welcome Reception and Registration\n2:15 pm | “When We Find Ourselves in the Place Just Right: Rethinking Historic Preservation”\nby Andrew Cushing\, President\, Mascoma Valley Preservation\n2:45 pm | Meeting Called to Order\n“When We Find Ourselves in the Place Just Right: Rethinking Historic Preservation”\n\nIt is probably time to revise our approach to museums and historic preservation. America’s Bicentennial marked a decade of landmark national and state legislation that aimed to reverse a generation of postwar urban renewal efforts. Museum attendance rose\, historical societies formed\, and communities established regulated historic districts. By many metrics\, historical awareness increased. But today’s society is more diverse\, polarized\, and arguably inattentive. How does preservation reinvent itself to remain relevant as we approach our nation’s 250th? \n\nZoom link available by emailing info@shakermuseum.org or calling 603.632.4346 \nThe Annual Meeting is open to the public.  Refreshments will be served. \n*All Museum Members receive a vote in the Museum’s governance during these proceedings*

SUMMARY:History of Fiber Arts in NH: A Lecture by Patty Williams
DESCRIPTION:History of Fiber Arts in NH:\nA Lecture by Patty Williams\nFriday\, November 14th\, 2025\n6:00 – 7:00pm\nTHIS LECTURE HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Thank you for your understanding.\nLocal fiber farmer and fiber artist Patty Williams grew up in New Hampshire\, the fiber arts\, and farming. In this lecture she will combine all three taking us on a tour of time from earliest known techniques\, fibers used\, and fiber in New Hampshire today. Patty is known for throwing in juicy tidbits of fun facts. What famous people wore Londonderry Linen? The New Hampshire Sheep Craze? And the Shaker’s did what? She will answer all of these and more. \nQuestions to follow the presentation. \nWho is Patty Williams? \nPatty Williams is the owner of Aker Fiber Farm located in Enfield Center\, NH. She began working with fiber arts as a young girl with her aunt and mom in Walpole\, NH. She learned how to crochet\, wash fleeces\, draft\, or treadle\, and card wool along with tying her shoes. She began Aker Fiber Farm part time after leaving the Army with her husband in Virginia. They then purchased the flock that had been supplying their fleeces and moved everyone to New Hampshire where Patty added Shepherd to her resume. Aker Fiber Farm has evolved into a Farm to Yarn Company providing flax to linen and fleece to yarn to customers all over the US and Canada.\nPatty began teaching fiber arts without even realizing that was what she was doing. Always wanting to share her passion\, she taught friends how to crochet and knit while in grade school and continued as she gathered more skills and moved around the country. Today\, she travels up and down the east coast teaching workshops and giving lectures on Shepherding skills\, flax\, linen\, spinning\, fiber prep\, dyeing\, and knitting. Her favorite students are folks that “never thought they could”\, as Patty believes everyone CAN!\nAdvanced Registration Required. Please RSVP by November 11th\, 2025. Limited to 60 people. \nThe lecture will take place in the Meeting Room of the Great Stone Dwelling\, which is on the second floor. There is no elevator\, due to the historical nature of the building. \nComing from a distance? Stay at our historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our room availability here.
