What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Family programing
The Society presents many family friendly events. Our major family offerings are 17th Century Saturdays, a wonderful living history day at our 1715 Parson Barnard House site and our annual Trails and Sails walking tour. Each of these activities are part of a larger, county-wide series of events and draws an audience from outside our immediate area.
Multi grade level school programs
Curriculum- based, multi-grade offerings are reviewed, developed and presented every school year. Examples are Daily Life at Johnson CottageHouse Detectives (Parson Barnard House)What is an Artifact? Discover Local HistoryAncestors Speak: the Old Burial Ground and other specialized options on site or in the classroom
Adventures in Time Summer Enrichment Program
Just completing its 23rd year, this two week enrichment program builds on classroom and field trip experiences and brings history alive for a smaller group of children every summer. Each session has a different theme and focus and provides hands on activities, programs and visits to other institutions to teach by doing. Skills such as gardening, cooking and sewing are an integral part of the lesson plan.
Adult Programs
A variety of family and adult educational programs are offered throughout the year. These offerings include lectures, workshops and site visits.
Teacher Training Workshops
The NAHS has just completed its second year of teacher training workshops, in collaboration with Community Heritage Alliance Project or CHAP, a school and historical society partnership. CHAP focuses on ways to introduce primary source material into the classroom and satisfy social studies teacher training with professional development credit.
Textile Arts Education
Adapting similar programs from the now defunct, American Textie History Museum, Lowell, thes off site programs include The Story of Silk, Charlie, Farmer Brown, Native Customs and Fleece to Fabric. They are presented through Lowell public and private schools, Wakefield, and Lawrence. Other programs have been brought forward for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We are currently adding some of these programs onsite but are in need of additional support for development and staffing.
