RiverWalk: Before the Fires are Lit
After the arrival of Roger Williams in 1636, rivers shaped the life of the city of Providence. The Colonial waterfront was the site of a thriving shipping economy for a young town. Eventually, factories and railroads turned attention away from the rivers and toward the land. After the 1950s, highways and bridges covered the waterways, and the rivers were forgotten. But that was yesterday! Today, architects and city planners are creating a “new” waterfront. Once again, the rivers take center stage. And no event commands more attention than Barnaby Evans’ WaterFire. Smartly designed walkways, parks, and pedestrian bridges invite strolling, especially on summer evenings. Urban outdoor sculpture and beautiful civic and commercial buildings of varied architectural styles provide the setting for stories of Providence’s fabled past and dynamic present. This walk shares the history of Rhode Island’s capital city and the history of WaterFire.
Tour departs from John Brown House Museum, 52 Power Street, Providence, Evenings of full WaterFire lightings, 5:30 pm, $10 per person. Reservations requested for this tour.

Join Historic New England for four days of tours and lectures featuring top experts and superb collections. Feast your eyes on woodcarvings, paintings, hooked rugs, painted furniture, redware, and other objects often referred to as country arts. Among the presenters are Robert Emlen of Brown University; Richard Nylander, Historic New England curator emeritus; Martha Hamilton and Stephen Fletcher of Skinner, Inc.; and author Joan Brownstein.
Lighting, especially in the dining room, is a very important component of the Gropius House. Ise Gropius wrote, "The great advantage of this kind of lighting is that it covers only the area directly underneath it and that its glare does not spill over on the people sitting around the table... The strong light on our round, white formica tabletop creates sparkling lights on dishes and glasses and sharp shadows under flower arrangements. Moreover it does not obliterate the view towards the outdoor landscape, which is normally eliminated when the lights inside are turned on."
Historic New England's brochure for its Garden and Landscape membership level was awarded third place in the membership materials category of the New England Museum Association (NEMA) Annual Publication Awards Program.
The painting Great Storm at Providence, possibly by local artist James Kidder, c. 1815, depicts the destructive flooding of Providence, Rhode Island, caused by a hurricane on September 23, 1815. Almost exactly 123 years later, on September 21, 1938, another disastrous hurricane struck the New England coast and was commemorated by the Nichols and Stone Furniture Company in Gardner, Massachusetts, which sold painted pine rocking chairs made of debris from the storm. Historic New England recently acquired one such chair. The painting and chair, along with many other disaster relics featured in the exhibition, convey the history of extreme weather that has shaped regional identity.

July 7: His Excellency George Washington by Joseph J. Ellis.
In this landmark biography of our first president, Joseph J. Ellis brings the exacting scholarship, shrewd analysis, and lyric prose that have made him one of the premier historians of the Revolutionary era. Training his lens on a figure who sometimes seems as remote as his effigy on Mt. Rushmore, Ellis assesses George Washington as a military and political leader and a man whose “statue-like solidity” concealed volcanic energies and emotions.

Family's Night Out with Fishel Bresler's Klezmer Hassidic Trio!
Klezmer music is the laughing, wailing, heartfelt instrumental music of Eastern European Jewish life. It originated in the shtetl and ghettos, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as klezmorim, performed at joyful events. It is inspired with secular melodies, popular dances, Jewish liturgy, and the 'nigunim,' meditative tunes intended by the Hasidim for approaching God in ecstatic communion. Klesmer music also incorporates Slavonic, Greek, Ottoman, Arabic, Gypsy and, more recently, American Jazz influences.
Fishel Bresler and Shelley Katsh have performed this music in several concert series' and have become known over nearly two decades for their passionate yet sensitive playing. The pair makes humor and high spirits an integral part of every presentation and draws audiences of all types and ages, frequently, as in this show, adding the talents of internationally known violinist Beth Cohen on strings.
