Please join us on Wednesday, 7 October at 12 noon for a Brown-bag lunch with Crystal Feimster, current NEH long-term research fellow here at MHS. Crystal will discuss her project, “Sexual Warfare: Rape and the American Civil War.”

On Monday, 12 October, the MHS library will be closed in observance of the Columbus Day holiday, but we hope you’ll stop by nonetheless for our Open House, part of the Fenway Alliance’s Opening Our Doors festival. The building will be open from 11 a.m. through 4 p.m., and we’ll debut our fall exhibit, “John Brown: Martyr to Freedom or American Terrorist–or Both?”
