Public Event
Exhibit of new acquisition:
Four paintings by George Ropes, Jr. from 1813 of battle between USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812.
May 14 – November 14, 2008. Museum hours: 9am-6 pm
April 15 - October 15; 10am - 5 pm
October 16 - April 14
These paintings are the Museum’s most important images of the defining moment in Constitution's career. It was during this battle that the ship’s nickname “Old Ironsides” was coined. Paintings of this type were akin to photographs or newspaper accounts of the day. George Ropes’ paintings will become the Museum’s signature images of this moment. After this exhibition they will be rotated on and off display.
The George Ropes paintings come from the collection of the Woburn Public Library. Because the paintings have no local Woburn connection, the Trustees of the Library made the decision to deaccession the paintings to help fund an expansion of the library’s historic structure. The Museum purchased them at auction when they discovered th…

Steeples & Smokestacks: The Story of New England's Franco-Americans
Public Event
In celebration of the city of Quebec’s 400th anniversary, the FAB is pleased to welcome Dr. Claire Quintal for a talk on New England’s Franco-American story.
Dr. Quintal looks at why Canadians, both Quebecers and Acadians, immigrated to New England in such large numbers from the mid-nineteenth century onward.
She recounts how Franco-Americans struggled to remain true to the ideology of survivance and formed tightly knit communities, often called Little Canadas.
Together, their language, traditions, religion, writings, and songs formed a subculture unique to New England. These cultural elements of the Franco-American identity help explain why they emigrated, how they made their homes in mill cities and towns, and the legacy they left behind.
Dr. Claire Quintal is a professor, historian, and writer.

Yeah Yeah...we know Cinco de Mayo has passed but we couldn't get our act together by then and the name just seemed to work. This is not a Corona Holiday celebration. It is a fun upscale late spring celebration with dancing.
This event is for the late 20s and 30-something professional crowd who are looking to dance/socialize in Boston. Not many venues exist that don't attract baseball-cap-wearing college students in rooms too dark, with noise to loud.
Guests will enjoy great music from our DJ and dancing all night long to 80s, 90s and top 40 dance tunes.
