SUMMARY:Paw & Play - New Exhibit Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Children’s Museum at Holyoke is pleased to announce the completion of our newest exhibit\, The Paw & Play! Join us for our grand opening as we celebrate with FREE Museum Admission\, guided activities\, local organizations\, and a visit from Love on a Leash therapy dogs! \nThis exhibit is a holistic approach to public safety through a helping lens with the help of our furry friends\, the working dogs! Looking at K9 Dogs\, Service Dogs\, Search and Rescue Dogs\, Herding Dogs\, and Therapy Dogs we learn how these canines help their human companions and the community at large. The exhibit itself is modeled after a training agility course\, comparing and contrasting human vs. canine abilities with active play pieces and educational wall texts graphics\, in Spanish and English. \nPlay pieces include a ‘Canine Climb’ rock wall\, jump test\, climbing rope with foam pit\, balance beam\, and small movable equipment to allow the option of guided activities. \nThis installation was designed and executed entirely in-house with illustration and graphic design done by local artist Sam Lou and printing done around the corner at The Print Shop by Holyoke Art – it’s a 100% local effort. From painting\, to building\, to installing wall graphics\, it was all done by hand! \nWhen? November 23rd \n10:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Free Admission! \n12:00 AM – 4:00 PM – Regular Museum Admission \nWhere? 444 Dwight Street\, Holyoke\, MA 01040! \nTabling organizations\, refreshments\, and visiting therapy dogs will be upstairs in our picnic area and guided activities and crafts will be run downstairs on the Museum floor in and out of the new exhibit!

SUMMARY:Trip the Light Fantastic with William Cepeda
DESCRIPTION:LightHouse Holyoke\, an accredited middle and high school for self-directed learning\, announces a community-wide Open House celebration at its newly acquired campus\, the former Gateway City Arts complex at 92 Race Street. The event\, scheduled for Thursday\, November 14 from 5:00-8:00 PM\, will showcase the transformed 40\,000-square-foot facility and feature a free concert by Grammy-nominated Afro-Rican Jazz band leader\, William Cepeda. \nThe historic three-building complex\, which LightHouse purchased in July\, has already undergone extensive renovations\, with much more in the works. The campus features two performance venues – the intimate De la Luz Divine theater and the 500-person capacity De la Luz Soundstage – along with a commercial kitchen\, café\, and an 8\,000-sq-ft maker-space-to-be. \n“This facility offers an extraordinary opportunity to expand our vision of what school can be\,” says Catherine Gobron\, co-founder and executive director. “By integrating education with public spaces for arts\, music\, and making\, we’re creating opportunities for genuine connections across diverse communities\, breaking down traditional barriers between school and life\, and building a place where social justice and transformative learning happen naturally through daily interactions.” \nThrough the new De la Luz Technical Arts Institute\, LightHouse is now offering vocational tracks in sound and lighting engineering and live event production\, unprecedented at the high school level. A culinary arts track will launch in January 2025 in conjunction with the reopening of the onsite café\, while carpentry and metalworking programs are currently in development. \nThe Open House will include guided tours\, demonstrations\, and presentations about LightHouse’s innovative educational programs\, and The Carolyn Dufraine Trio will be showcasing in De la Luz Divine. The café will be open featuring local chef\, Neftalí Duran. The evening culminates with a free concert at 7:00 PM featuring William Cepeda\, a cultural icon of Puerto Rico known for pioneering Afro-Rican Jazz in the larger De la Luz Soundstage. \nThanks to generous sponsors including Bueno y Sano\, People’s Bank\, Lumber Dog\, Bresnahan Insurance\, and Greenfield Northampton Cooperative Bank\, both the Open House and concert are free to attend. While admission is complimentary\, donations are welcome to support LightHouse’s ongoing renovation and development efforts. To date\, the organization has raised $1.6M of their $3M goal for facility improvements.

SUMMARY:MATRIA by Michelle Falcón Fontánez Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:The City of Holyoke and Wistariahurst is proud to present the opening of Matria\, a compelling photo installation by local artist Michelle Falcón Fontanes. Launching on November 14 at Wistariahurst Museum\, Matria brings to life the stories and achievements of five inspiring Puerto Rican women from Holyoke who have selflessly dedicated their time and energy to the better of Holyoke. Supported by funding from the NEFA Making it Public Grant and Mass in Motion\, this project captures the resilience and impact of these women as social justice warriors\, advocates\, and leaders working within our community. \nAfter its debut at Wistariahurst\, Matria will move in Spring 2025 to Holyoke’s Puerto Rican Cultural District on Main Street\, inviting an even broader audience to witness and celebrate these womens journeys. \nJoin us on November 14th from 5 to 7pm to honor these community champions and experience the exceptional photographic work of Michelle Falcón Fontanez.\nEntrance to the Wistariahurst is free to the community during operating hours\, please email info@wistariahurst.org to inquire about open hours and when you can see this beautiful exhibit. \n— \nhonoring HER\nWomen are at the forefront of creating lasting change in our communities\, but are often undervalued\, overlooked and ignored. \nMATRIA uplifts the stories of five Puerto Rican women that have made significant contributions in Holyoke. These leaders have dedicated themselves to making positive change in our community through activism\, preserving history\, fighting for accessible education\, connecting community members with resources and engaging in volunteer work. \nThe community leaders featured in this project include: Gladys Lebrón-Martínez\, María Salgado-Cartagena\, Marisela Alvarado\, Marisol Fontánez Cuadrado\, and Yamaris Rivera. \nartist statement:\nMy people have been oppressed\, silenced\, restricted\, forgotten\, and murdered\, ultimately leading to the erasure of our stories. I grew up without any knowledge of my Puerto Rican history or an understanding of what our people sacrificed to preserve the little pieces of us that remained. I utilize my art as a way to prevent those stories and the experiences of other unheard voices from being erased. I feel that true change can only happen when you understand your past and give voice to those experiences. \nabout the artist:\nMichelle Falcón Fontánez is an award winning storyteller working in photography\, film\, and public art. Michelle has witnessed and personally experienced injustices that have shaped her views of the world\, motivating her pursuit of making change through art. Her artistry has primarily focused on social justice issues\, advocating for women’s rights\, dismantling colonialism\, and calling attention to Puerto Rican issues\, ultimately creating work to illuminate voices that have not been heard.

SUMMARY:MEET THE AUTHOR of Colonization and the Wampanoag Story\, LINDA COOMBS
DESCRIPTION:Linda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag)\, Author of Colonization and the Wampanoag Story will speak with the public at Wistariahurst Museum on Saturday\, November 9 at 2 p.m. Her book presents the true story of America from the Indigenous perspective. When you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepping off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. Told from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. She will be speaking at Wistariahurst Museum as a culminating event to the four-week October Book Discussion Group that read and discussed in order to educate themselves and gain an understanding of the Indigenous perspective. \nCoombs\, who began her museum career at the Boston Children’s Museum in the Native American Program\, as well as working for the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation for 30 years\, and who presently does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations\, will be discussing with us\, her research techniques\, her writing style\, and her motivation. She will field questions from the audience about her book and her lived experience as a historian of Wampanoag background. \nSeveral copies of her book Colonization and the Wampanoag Story will be available on a first-come\, first-served basis\, thanks to a generous donation of books from The Massachusetts Center for the Book’s Great Reads About Great Places program. The Great Reads titles celebrate our state’s unique culture and literary heritage\, inspiring local conversations and spurring engagement.

SUMMARY:Polish and Eastern European Immigration in the Industrial Era - Holyoke & Western Mass
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, people from Poland and other Eastern European countries immigrated to Western Massachusetts in significant numbers.

The talk also explores the hostility encountered by early generations of Polish immigrants to the U.S. and the often difficult conditions of life and work in their new home. \nThis event takes place in the Holyoke Public Library Community Room and is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs | Week 4
DESCRIPTION:Join history and reading enthusiasts at Wistariahurst Museum on Tuesday evenings in October to read and discuss a different perspective of the beginning of the American story in Linda Coombs Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. As a way to expand our historical knowledge of Indigenous culture\, we will investigate a more inclusive narrative as we gather to share thoughts and consider a differing viewpoint. \nOur discussion group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in October with a Culminating event on Saturday afternoon\, November 9 with guest speaker Linda Coombs the author. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepped off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the story from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later worked there in the Native American Program. She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures. Coombs also worked for 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation\, including 15 years as WIP’s Associate Director; and 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Presently she does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations. \nThanks to a generous donation of books from The Massachusetts Center for the Book’s Great Reads About Great Places program\, Wistariahurst has 13 copies of the book to loan out to participants on a first-come\, first-served basis. Great Reads titles celebrate our state’s unique culture and literary heritage\, inspiring local conversations and spurring engagement. \n  \nWeek #1: Tuesday\, October 1 having read pages 1-50 \nWeek #2: Tuesday\, October 8 having read pages 51 – 128 \nWeek #3: Tuesday\, October 15 having read pages 130 – 188 \nWeek #4: Tuesday\, October 22 having read pages 190 – end \nWeek #5: Saturday 11/9 Culminating Event with Guest Speaker Linda Coombs Author

SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs | Week 3
DESCRIPTION:Join history and reading enthusiasts at Wistariahurst Museum on Tuesday evenings in October to read and discuss a different perspective of the beginning of the American story in Linda Coombs Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. As a way to expand our historical knowledge of Indigenous culture\, we will investigate a more inclusive narrative as we gather to share thoughts and consider a differing viewpoint. \nOur discussion group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in October with a Culminating event on Saturday afternoon\, November 9 with guest speaker Linda Coombs the author. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepped off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the story from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later worked there in the Native American Program. She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures. Coombs also worked for 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation\, including 15 years as WIP’s Associate Director; and 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Presently she does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations. \nThanks to a generous donation of books from The Massachusetts Center for the Book’s Great Reads About Great Places program\, Wistariahurst has 13 copies of the book to loan out to participants on a first-come\, first-served basis. Great Reads titles celebrate our state’s unique culture and literary heritage\, inspiring local conversations and spurring engagement. \n  \nWeek #1: Tuesday\, October 1 having read pages 1-50 \nWeek #2: Tuesday\, October 8 having read pages 51 – 128 \nWeek #3: Tuesday\, October 15 having read pages 130 – 188 \nWeek #4: Tuesday\, October 22 having read pages 190 – end \nWeek #5: Saturday 11/9 Culminating Event with Guest Speaker Linda Coombs Author

SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs | Week 2
DESCRIPTION:Join history and reading enthusiasts at Wistariahurst Museum on Tuesday evenings in October to read and discuss a different perspective of the beginning of the American story in Linda Coombs Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. As a way to expand our historical knowledge of Indigenous culture\, we will investigate a more inclusive narrative as we gather to share thoughts and consider a differing viewpoint. \nOur discussion group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in October with a Culminating event on Saturday afternoon\, November 9 with guest speaker Linda Coombs the author. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepped off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the story from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later worked there in the Native American Program. She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures. Coombs also worked for 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation\, including 15 years as WIP’s Associate Director; and 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Presently she does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations. \nThanks to a generous donation of books from The Massachusetts Center for the Book’s Great Reads About Great Places program\, Wistariahurst has 13 copies of the book to loan out to participants on a first-come\, first-served basis. Great Reads titles celebrate our state’s unique culture and literary heritage\, inspiring local conversations and spurring engagement. \n  \nWeek #1: Tuesday\, October 1 having read pages 1-50 \nWeek #2: Tuesday\, October 8 having read pages 51 – 128 \nWeek #3: Tuesday\, October 15 having read pages 130 – 188 \nWeek #4: Tuesday\, October 22 having read pages 190 – end \nWeek #5: Saturday 11/9 Culminating Event with Guest Speaker Linda Coombs Author

SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs | Week 1
DESCRIPTION:Join history and reading enthusiasts at Wistariahurst Museum on Tuesday evenings in October to read and discuss a different perspective of the beginning of the American story in Linda Coombs Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. As a way to expand our historical knowledge of Indigenous culture\, we will investigate a more inclusive narrative as we gather to share thoughts and consider a differing viewpoint. \nOur discussion group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in October with a Culminating event on Saturday afternoon\, November 9 with guest speaker Linda Coombs the author. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepped off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the story from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later worked there in the Native American Program. She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures. Coombs also worked for 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation\, including 15 years as WIP’s Associate Director; and 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Presently she does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations. \nThanks to a generous donation of books from The Massachusetts Center for the Book’s Great Reads About Great Places program\, Wistariahurst has 13 copies of the book to loan out to participants on a first-come\, first-served basis. Great Reads titles celebrate our state’s unique culture and literary heritage\, inspiring local conversations and spurring engagement. \n  \nWeek #1: Tuesday\, October 1 having read pages 1-50 \nWeek #2: Tuesday\, October 8 having read pages 51 – 128 \nWeek #3: Tuesday\, October 15 having read pages 130 – 188 \nWeek #4: Tuesday\, October 22 having read pages 190 – end \nWeek #5: Saturday 11/9 Culminating Event with Guest Speaker Linda Coombs Author

Though no fire alarm will be set off at this concert\, nonetheless the grand and inspiring Toccata in D Major will call your attention to a colorful program. The tour begins in Normandy\, Northern France\, and you are invited to travel\, or rather go on pilgrimage\, to Leipzig\, Germany\, to pay homage to the great J. S. Bach with his grandiose Prelude and Fugue in D Major as well as the Fantasy and Fugue in in g minor. Continuing our trip\, you will visit Marco Enrico Bossi at the Como Cathedral in Northern Italy and listen to the magical and mysterious Scherzo in g minor. Rejuvenated\, we will arrive in Paris\, France\, to hear Eugene Gigout’s sparkling Toccata and his profound Grand Choeur Dialogue. After a brief excursion to Belgium for Joseph Jongen’s famous Toccata\, we will return to Paris to revel in Louis Vierne’s Final from his 6th Symphony. On the wings of this piece\, you may reach the tip of the Eiffel Tower. Klaus will play this program centering on the Romantic Period on the E.M. Skinner Opus 179 organ. This will be a memorable afternoon well worth attending! \nFree will donation received to benefit Holyoke food pantry.

SUMMARY:Reflections of the Flood with Elizabeth Sharpe: Part of the  Legacy Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is honoring the 150th Anniversary of this historic building’s relocation to City of Holyoke which occurred in 1874. This fall\, we invite guests to participate in our Legacy Seminar Series to learn more about events\, exhibits and structures which have impacted the building\, the community and the arts. \nOn September 17th\, Elizabeth Sharpe\, the author of “In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874\,” will discuss the the flood of 1874 and the events that led up to that tragic event. The incident claimed 139 lives and wiped out four mill villages in the area and marked the first significant dam failure in the United States. The aftermath saw William Skinner relocating his silk factory to Holyoke\, while the affected villages began the process of rebuilding. Sharpe will delve into the disaster’s impact\, the challenges faced in the aftermath\, the investigation to determine accountability\, and the pursuit of compensation. \nWhether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer eager to learn more about the place you now call home\, these seminars provide a perfect opportunity to connect with the past and understand how it influences our present and future. Most importantly\, our Legacy Seminar Series is free and open to the public during event hours so that all can explore\, discover\, and engage with these unique topics.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Barry Moser:  Part of the Legacy Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is honoring the 150th Anniversary of this historic building’s relocation to City of Holyoke which occurred in 1874. This fall\, we invite guests to participate in our Legacy Seminar Series to learn more about events\, exhibits and structures which have impacted the building\, the community and the arts. \nJoin us on September 10th with guest artist\, Barry Moser as he discusses illustration\, wood engraving\, printing\, andhis work through his eyes as a working artist. As a professor of art and an illustrator with a portfolio of over 300 titles\, Moser’s vast experience in printing\, painting\, printmaking\, designing\, writing\, essay writing\, and teaching offers a deep understanding of the dedication required for visual artwork. In conversation with Wistariahurst curator\, Penni Martorell guests will be welcome to reflect and ask questions about the creative processes involved in Moser’s complex illustrations. In 1977\, 1982 and 1984 Moser exhibited his wood engraving work at Wistariahurst highlighting his prints for Alice through the Looking Glass and What She Found There\, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Now\, nearly fifty years later we are happy to welcome him back to reflect on his work. \nWhether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer eager to learn more about the place you now call home\, these seminars provide a perfect opportunity to connect with the past and understand how it influences our present and future. Most importantly\, our Legacy Seminar Series is free and open to the public during event hours so that all can explore\, discover\, and engage with these unique topics.

SUMMARY:Project Eagle: The Top-Secret Operation that sent Polish Spies behind German Lines
DESCRIPTION:Meet the author of the new book: Project Eagle: The Top-Secret Operation that sent Polish Spies behind German Lines during World War Two. \nAfter the Germans had surprised Allied troops at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge in 1944\, the OSS (Office of Strategic Services–forerunner of the CIA) revamped its intelligence operations in Europe and began enlisting the cooperation of volunteers from occupied countries for wartime intelligence-gathering operations. As part of Project Eagle\, Polish soldiers were recruited and trained to go behind the lines of the Third Reich. Project Eagle tells this fascinating World War II story of intelligence and espionage that until now has been hidden away in the archives of the OSS. Professor Micgiel will tell us more about this history and his research on this special visit to Holyoke on September 9. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room.  Info: (413) 420-8107 \nJohn S. Micgiel was born and raised in Holyoke.  His academic career led him to serve as director of the Institute on East Central Europe\, associate director of the Harriman Institute\, executive director of the Institute for the Study of Europe\, and adjunct professor of international and public affairs—all at Columbia University. He is past president of the Kosciuszko Foundation\, which promotes cultural exchange between the United States and Poland. In 2011 he received the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland\, an award honoring service to the Polish-American community. Now retired from Columbia University\, Micgiel teaches at the University of Warsaw and makes his home in Connecticut.
