Royall House & Slave Quarters
Monday, July 7 at 10:00 AM
Wednesday, July 16 at 10:00 AM
Take a guided tour this summer of the Royall House and Slave Quarters, the site of a former northern plantation. Though only two acres today, this property was once over five hundred acres and the residence of the Royall family, the largest slaveholding family in Massachusetts history. Throughout their nearly forty-year tenure in Medford from 1737 to 1775, the Royalls enslaved some sixty people, women, men, and children, whose bondage made the family’s luxurious lifestyle possible.
As one of the only remaining freestanding quarters where enslaved people lived and labored in the North, the museum bears witness to the intertwined stories of wealth and bondage in pre-Revolutionary Massachusetts and to the resistance and political and legal activism of enslaved and free Black people in the eighteenth century. The museum’s tours focus on the lives and experiences of the enslaved people who once lived on this property.

Indigenous People of Concord, Massachusetts
Tuesday, August 19 at Noon
For over 10,000 years the indigenous people of the land knew this area as Musketaquid. The land between the grassy rivers. We explore the history of the first people and how they lived in a land of abundance seeking to keep and foster balance with the natural world, their mother, who sustained them always. What happened when cultures collided after European fur traders came and then English settlers in the 17th century will be discussed as we examine how those events shape the world of the indigenous people of Massachusetts today
