SUMMARY:Sage King
DESCRIPTION:iHeartRadio Award winning artist Sage King was born to entertain. His roots come from Rock N’ Roll\, but his songwriting has developed into a wide variety of styles. \n“A little about myself; I like guitars\, whiskey\, BBQ\, and putting on a good record! I grew up in Enfield\, CT and cut my teeth in nearly every bar within a 25 mile radius since I was 13 years old.” \nNow into his mid 20s and over 1000 shows under his belt\, Sage King has found his stride and he shows no signs of slowing down. Having released 2 independent EPs\, he is working on putting songs together for his first full length record. He has also fronted the band Hivebane since 2017 and they are releasing their debut album “COLLIDER” on March 31st 2023. \nIn 2020 his song “Lay Down Your Guns” won him a nationwide battle of the bands put on by iHeartRadio and sponsored by Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. He was awarded a grand cash prize and was flown to St. Paul\, Minnesota to share the stage with Walker Hayes\, Parmalee\, and Mitchell Tenpenny for FanJam 2022.

SUMMARY:Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow - Wistariahurst Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are Mondays 10:30am-12:30am and Tuesdays 4:30pm-6:30pm \nFor the month of February Wistariahurst Museum and Garden will display a poster exhibition entitled Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow organized and distributed by the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library with lead support for this traveling exhibition provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. \nBlack Americans gained monumental new liberties after the Civil War and the end of slavery. The era known as Reconstruction brought freedom\, citizenship\, and\, for men\, the right to vote. By the early 1900s\, these liberties had been sabotaged by a repressive racial system known as Jim Crow. This exhibit chronicles the long strides forward\, bruising setbacks\, and heroic struggle for equality that took place\nduring these years. \nThe exhibit will be in the Gallery at Wistariahurst and will be supplemented with artifacts and images from the Black Holyoke collection.

SUMMARY:Edward Hitchcock: America's First Dinosaur Expert
DESCRIPTION:EDWARD HITCHCOCK was one of 19th-century America’s most eminent scientists. He was the first American scientist to publicly embrace the theory of continental glaciation\, but he is better known for his landmark research on what he called the “fossil footmarks” of the Connecticut Valley. Although he was subject to criticism and ridicule at the time\, Hitchcock became recognized as the first scientist to find evidence of dinosaurs in North America. \nNo biography had been written of him until 2021\, when All the Light here Comes from Above: The Life and Legacy of Edward Hitchcock was published by retired HCC biology professor Bob McMaster.  In his presentation\, Bob will review the life of Edward Hitchcock\, his legacy as a scientist\, and his role in the early development of local higher education.  Free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room. \nRobert McMaster has degrees from Boston College\, Smith College\, and the University of Massachusetts. He taught biology at Holyoke Community College from 1994 to 2014. His other books include the Trolley Days Series (four novels set in Holyoke in the World War I era) and Rose of Glenkerry: A County Wicklow Mystery\, a contemporary novel set in Ireland.

SUMMARY:Virtual reading of Frederick Douglass's speech\, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?"
DESCRIPTION:Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery in 1838 and lived for many years in Massachusetts. He delivered the Fourth of July speech on July 5\, 1852\, in Rochester\, New York\, to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. The most celebrated orator of his day\, Douglass’ powerful language\, resolute denunciations of slavery\, and forceful examination of the Constitution challenge us to think about the histories we tell\, the values they teach\, and if our actions match our aspirations. To quote Douglass\, “We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the future.” \nRegister: https://tinyurl.com/2v986w25

SUMMARY:Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow - Wistariahurst Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are Mondays 10:30am-12:30am and Tuesdays 4:30pm-6:30pm \nFor the month of February Wistariahurst Museum and Garden will display a poster exhibition entitled Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow organized and distributed by the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library with lead support for this traveling exhibition provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. \nBlack Americans gained monumental new liberties after the Civil War and the end of slavery. The era known as Reconstruction brought freedom\, citizenship\, and\, for men\, the right to vote. By the early 1900s\, these liberties had been sabotaged by a repressive racial system known as Jim Crow. This exhibit chronicles the long strides forward\, bruising setbacks\, and heroic struggle for equality that took place\nduring these years. \nThe exhibit will be in the Gallery at Wistariahurst and will be supplemented with artifacts and images from the Black Holyoke collection.

SUMMARY:Housing and Puerto Ricans in New York\, 1945-1970
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore the settlement of Puerto Ricans in public housing in New York City between 1945-1970.  Drawing on demographic data\, city documents\, and housing statistics from the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)\, the lecture will highlight the history of Puerto Ricans in public housing in the mid-twentieth century in relation to Operation Bootstrap and colonialism on the island.  Drawing from Latina feminist methodologies\, Rosa’s investigation challenges culture of poverty narratives and instead focusses on the gendered and racialized dynamics of public housing. Rosa’s work gives broader context to Holyoke’s local Puerto Rican diaspora. \nThis is a hybrid event: come in person or register to attend on Zoom. \nVanessa Rosa is Assistant Professor of Latina/o/x Studies\, Department of Spanish\, Latina/o and Latin American Studies at Mount Holyoke College. Rosa is currently completing a book manuscript titled Precarious Constructions: Race\, Class\, and Urban Revitalization (UNC Press). \nThe Holyoke History Room’s Perspectives on the Puerto Rican Diaspora lecture series is made possible by a grant from MassHumanities. \n  \nLink to the whole series

SUMMARY:The Olmsteds in Holyoke
DESCRIPTION:It is known that the Olmsted Brothers produced plans for the design of Holyoke’s Prospect (now Pulaski) Park and other public spaces\, but few know that the firm worked on more than twenty Holyoke projects.  In this talk\, Bob Comeau\, leader of the Holyoke Canal Tours\, will provide an overview of twenty-two parks and residential landscapes that appear in the records of John C. Olmsted and his brother Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr.  While not all were realized\, the plans reflect the enthusiasm with which Holyoke and its wealthier residents embraced the City Beautiful movement of the early twentieth century. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room.  Free and open to the public. For more information: (413) 420-8107. \nThis is an in-person event.

SUMMARY:The Skinner Family and The Orchards Golf Course\, A lecture by Bill Armistead.
DESCRIPTION:In 1921 Joseph Skinner was living in South Hadley with his wife\, Martha\, and their second child\, Elisabeth. Three of their children had married and moved out the estate\, but Elisabeth\, never married. When not helping her mother cope with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis\, she was playing golf at Mt. Tom Golf Course. But that was a 20 minute car ride away\, and Joseph wanted a convenient place for her to play. So he called Donald Ross to design and build a course across the street from his home. The family named it The Orchards. \nIn addition to the Skinner family\, the lecture and slide show covers the career of Donald Ross\, who lived in Holyoke for four years. By using Ross’s blueprints and period photographs of horses pulling sleds\, Bill documents the course’s creation. He discusses Jimmy and Minnie Young\, who ran the club for 38 years\, and Mount Holyoke College\, which has owned the course since 1941. Finally\, Bill will share photographs from the two USGA championships contested on the property\, in 1987 and 2004. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill Armistead is a retired businessman\, having spent his career in corporate finance\, including stints at Lockheed Martin\, MCI\, and a start-up telecommunications company. For five years he taught Finance at American University in Washington\, DC. \nHis mother was Peggy Skinner Armistead\, who grew up at Dogwood\, a large estate off of Northampton St in Holyoke\, which was owned by her father\, William Skinner II. Elisabeth Skinner was Bill’s great aunt. \nHe served on the boards of Wistariahurst and Berkshire Hills Music Academy\, which owns the former Skinner estate in South Hadley. \nBill recently published a book\, “The Orchards…One Hundred Years\,” which he wrote in celebration of The Orchards’ centennial year. He is considering a book about another golf course.

SUMMARY:Chicopee Canal Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Stop 1: There were two canal systems in Chicopee. The first was built in 1823 along the Chicopee Falls section of the Chicopee River. That canal and dam are now gone.
