SUMMARY:The Brownells: American Rose Pioneers
DESCRIPTION:Free and Open to the Public\nCo-Sponsored by:\nThe Little Compton Garden Club\nThe Little Compton Historical Society\nThe Sogkonate Garden Club\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the early 1900s\, Walter and Josephine Brownell of Little Compton became trail blazers in the early development of winter hardy and disease resistant roses.  Learn how a young attorney and his wife\, and later their sons\, introduced more than 80 varieties of roses over 35 years.  These became known as Sub-Zero roses and were sold throughout the United States from the 1930s through the 1960s.  This presentation follows the Brownells’ pioneer development of sustainable roses in Little Compton\, RI and explains how they successfully created varieties with a distinctly American character to satisfy the unmet needs of the colder regions of the country.  A century later\, Sub-Zero roses remain popular and their legacy continues to influence contemporary rose breeders. \nThis lecture will be held on Tuesday\, March 19 at 7 PM at the United Congregational Church in Little Compton\, RI.  The address there is 1 Commons St\, Little Compton RI\, 02837.

SUMMARY:Little Compton\, Connected
DESCRIPTION:Little Compton\, Connected\nA Local Transportation History\nPlans for the 2024 Summer Exhibit\n—\nZoom Talk\nWednesday\, April 17 at 7 PM\n—\nPresented by Steven Lubar\, President\, LCHS Board of Directors\nand Students from Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design\n—\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUufuirqzguE92E3eZpsp2xbKVDAMHdezG7\n—\nLittle Compton has a surprising transportation history. We have always been more connected to the world than we might think. There are so many stories we might tell. Indigenous transportation routes\, by water and land to points east and north\, set the stage for today’s roads. Farm products and fish went by boat to the plantations of the Caribbean in the 1700s\, and by boat and then carriage and train to cities up and down the east coast in the 1800s and 1900s. Steamboats brought day tourists to Sakonnet Point and goods to Adamsville Landing. The railroad and coach brought summer visitors. Peddlers and wagons traversed the roads\, taking orders and selling groceries and household goods. In the 20th century the automobile opened new markets for farmers and brought new developments and new residents.

SUMMARY:Steamboating to Sakonnet Point\, a talk given by Jim Garman
DESCRIPTION:Jim Garman is the official Town Historian for the town of Portsmouth. He had a long career as a teacher at Portsmouth Abbey School and as a professional photographer. He has an extensive collection of vintage photographs and postcard images of Newport County. He is the author of six books on Newport County history. For almost 50 years he has frequently lectured on topics of interest to Newport County residents.\n\nThis talk will be on the steamboats that ran from Providence to Sakonnet Point and back in the late 19th- early 20th centuries. The steamboats hauled fresh fish and farm produce to market and day-trippers rode each way. It was a fascinating era of local travel and history and the presentation will be well-illustrated.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:LCHS Annual Meeting\n\n\n \nWednesday\, August 14\, 7 PM\n\n\n \nFree and Open to the Public\n\n\n \nAt the United Congregational Church\, 4 South of Commons Rd\, Little Compton\n\n\n \nFeaturing Steven Lubar’s Presentation\, “Little Compton: Connected and Unconnected”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Little Compton Historical Society will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday\, August 14 at 7 pm at the United Congregational Church on the Commons. The event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nAfter a 15-minute business meeting and the election of officers and board members\, Little Compton Historical Society Board President Steven Lubar will present a slide lecture on how it was that Little Compton came to seem “so far away.” \n\n\n\nMention Little Compton\, and you get two responses. “It’s so beautiful.” And\, “It’s so far.” The first is certainly true. But the second? Why do we think of Little Compton as being far away? One of the first to claim that the town was hard to get to was Sarah Helen Whitman\, a Providence poet and frequent visitor. In 1869 she writes of her summer in the town\, noting its “charm of remoteness” and sighing\, “So near\, yet\, oh\, how far.” She compared the town to Walden\, and Shangri-La. This talk will trace the history of the idea of Little Compton as an isolated\, distant place\, exploring the way it shaped the development of the town.

SUMMARY:Mishoon Burning Day
DESCRIPTION:Master mishoon maker Jonathan James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) will join the Little Compton Historical Society for an artist’s residency this September. He will lead a team of Wampanoag artisans and paddlers in the making of a Wampanoag mishoon (dugout canoe) at the Little Compton Historical Society\, which is located on the traditional homelands of the Sakonnet Wampanoag people. Jonathan and his team will then conduct a Reconnecting Ceremony and launch the mishoon near Squant Rock\, a sacred Wampanoag site\, at Sakonnet Point\, and paddle the mishoon on the Sakonnet River. \nThe mishoon and the ceremonies surrounding it are important parts of two Historical Society projects: this year’s transportation exhibit\, Little Compton Connected\, and next year’s Sakonnet History Project. Upon completion\, the mishoon will become a focal point in the Historical Society’s Sakonnet Wampanoag History Garden which will open to the public in late June 2025. We hope the mishoon paddling on the Sakonnet becomes an annual collaborative event. \nThis project is made possible through the generous support of St. Andrew’s Lodge\, Rhode Island Humanities\, the Little Compton Historical Society’s members and donors\, and our Wampanoag and Narragansett advisors. \n\nMishoon Making\nThe public is invited to join Jonathan and his team during the creation of the mishoon on the Historical Society grounds\, 548 West Main Road\, Little Compton\, RI. The public burning times are alcohol free events and are free and open to all. Guests are welcome to picnic on the grounds. \nBurning Dates: September 14\, 15\, 21\, 22\n\n     Public Welcome: 10 AM to 4 PM\n     Craft with LCHS Staff: 2 PM

SUMMARY:Linda Coombs Talk and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Author Linda Coombs\, Aquinnah Wampanoag\, author of Colonization and the Wampanoag Story\, will join us for an author talk and a book signing. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to meet and hear from the author.\n\n\n\nLinda’s author talk is part of our autumnal equinox celebration that will include the making of a Wampanoag mishoon and crafts and activities lead by a team of Wampanoag educators. All of the activities on September 22 from 10 to 4 PM are offered free and open to the public\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\nUntil now\, you’ve only heard one side of the story: the “discovery” of America told by Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists. Here’s the true story of America from the Indigenous perspective. \nWhen 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 to 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. \nFrom its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. 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. \n  \nAbout the Author\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 working 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.

SUMMARY:Open Today - Wampum: Stories from the Shells of Native America
DESCRIPTION:Wampum: Stories from the Shells of Native America” a traveling exhibit created by SmokeSygnals\, the leading Native creative agency in the Northeast\, will be on display at the Little Compton Historical Society from November 30\, 2024 to January 20\, 2025.   \n\n\n\nThe exhibit\, which has been on tour in the United Kingdom and throughout the Northeast\, tells the story of Wampanoag Native America. The Wampanoag people have inhabited the northeastern United States for over 12\,000 years. Wampanoags greeted the passengers of the Mayflower in 1620 and helped them survive\, yet for almost 400 years\, the story of the impact of that event and its aftermath on the Wampanoag Nation has been widely marginalized in the telling of American history. This new exhibit explores that largely-untold story\, using images\, ideas\, and wampum by contemporary Wampanoag artists and educators\, and examines and celebrates the art\, culture\, and resilience of the Wampanoag Nation. \n\n\n\nSmokeSygnals was founded by the Peters family\, Paula\, Steven\, and Jennifer\, the marketing\, advertising\, and public relations experts that shared a vision for building a Native-owned production company with a commitment to tackling systemic racism through exhibits\, art\, and film. Their goal is to give a voice to the stories and perspectives that have been pushed to the margins of the history books.
