Mr. Watson, come here! Learn about one of Boston's most world-changing inventions and see a museum that's not regularly open to the public. Ahoy-hoy, lovers of nerdy history! On this special late afternoon tour, we'll get you inside a museum that isn't ordinarily open to the public: Verizon's museum of the telephone, which contains an incredible collection of early telephone equipment, as well as a recreation of Alexander Graham Bell's lab that was overseen by his assistant, Thomas Watson. We'll also have a special performance from actress Lori Korn, performing two short monologues as Watson and Mabel, Bell's wife. Then, we'll walk together and discuss several other key spots related to telephone history — including the place where the first public demonstration happened, in May 1876. We'll wrap up with an (optional) drink at a Beacon Hill bar where AGB relaxed after a long day's inventing.
At a time of rapid change, this program reflects memory, place, and the importance of preserving community history for future generations. MAAH invites you to an evening with author, educator, and public historian Leland Owen Clarke, whose work centers on preserving the stories that shape Boston’s communities, especially in Roxbury. Through photographs, archival materials, and cultural artifacts, Something Worth Saving brings forward the lives of churches, educators, musicians, businesses, and everyday individuals whose impact continues to resonate. A book signing will follow.
