Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change
This ground-breaking exhibition at the Concord Museum explores three centuries of careful observation of seasonal natural phenomena in Concord, which has made it one of the best places in the world to study climate change.
The exhibition also provides an extraordinary opportunity to examine the Concord Museum’s renowned Thoreau collection including the desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden, together with examples of his original field notes, journal recordings, seasonal charts, and botanical specimens, much of which has never before been exhibited together.
Funded in part by a Museums for America grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the exhibition is curated by David F.
Wood with Guest Scholar Richard Primack of Boston University.
On April 25th in association with the exhibition, the Museum welcomes Bill McKibben, American environmentalist, author, and journalist, for an evening talk to be held at the Fenn School.
