Gallery Tours and Exhibit Hours

Advertisement

Please join a member of Historic Northampton's staff for a free gallery talk this summer--Thursdays at 4 pm (register at www.historicnorthampton.org) and for drop-in visits on Sundays at 11 am and 4 pm.

Learn more details of the lives of local enslaved individuals and the narratives of enslaved people becoming free. We will share information about the legal arrangements that kept slavery in place, how enslaved labor fueled the Northampton and regional economy, and the research at Historic Northampton, Forbes Library, and elsewhere in the Valley that underlies the exhibit.

​As we explore the exhibit, we will discuss personal connections to this local history and discover what questions we still have about slavery in Northampton.

Donations encouraged.
(As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of people like you. Thank you for your support.)
