SUMMARY:Revolutionary Eloquence: Quincy History's Greatest Visionaries
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 25th\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy Quincy Historical Society will continue our celebration of America’s 250th anniversary with “Revolutionary Eloquence\,” a program of dramatic readings featuring the words of some of Quincy’s most innovative thinkers. While Quincy may be famous for many things – shipbuilding\, granite\, great food\, and grit – its greatest resource has always been the minds of its citizens.\n\n\n\nQuincy has been the hometown of many great writers\, orators\, and thinkers — from Josiah Quincy Jr.’s principled defense of the soldiers of the Boston Massacre\, to Abigail Adams’ graceful prose sharing disruptive ideas about race and gender\, to the idealistic social reformers of the 19th and 20th centuries — like educator Francis Parker and suffragist Adalaide Claflin. This program will celebrate the art of rhetoric\, oration\, and written composition across Quincy history. Join us for a curated journey through the revolutionary ideas of Quincy’s greatest thinkers\, featuring dramatic readings performed by a cast of actors.\n\n\n\nThe program will explore the diverse and groundbreaking developments the people of Quincy have contributed across numerous fields through the medium of speech and writing. Join us for an evening celebrating the ways Quincy has made its mark on the way the world thinks\, from its founding to today.\n\n\n\nThis event is open to all and free to attend.\n\n\n\nAs the Historical Society’s Annual Meeting\, officers and board members will be elected for the coming year.

SUMMARY:The Architectural Drawings of Henry Hobson Richardson
DESCRIPTION:Quincy Historical Society invites you to its 2025 Annual Meeting on Tuesday\, October 7th\, at 7pm at the Adams Academy\, where authors Jay Wickersham\, Chris Milford\, and Hope Mayo will discuss the subject of their new book Henry Hobson Richardson: Drawings from the Collection of Houghton Library\, Harvard University. This program explores Richardson’s work with a focus on one of Quincy’s beloved architectural gems\, the Thomas Crane Public Library.\n\n\n\nH. H. Richardson is 19th century America’s most iconic architect. Richardson’s preferred Romanesque Revival style makes his work playfully eye-catching\, and instantly recognizable. Wickersham\, Milford\, and Mayo’s book\, is the first in-depth publication of drawings by H. H. Richardson. The trove of over 4\,000 drawings\, preserved since Richardson’s death and kept by Harvard University\, have been largely unpublished until now. The book presents full-color reproductions of 450 sketches and renderings by the architect and his studio assistants.\n\nIt includes more than 50 projects\, including such masterpieces as Boston’s Trinity Church; the Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail in Pittsburgh; the Marshall Field Store and Glessner House in Chicago; and five libraries\, including Quincy’s own Thomas Crane Public Library.\n\n\n\nThe authors will discuss the Richardson drawings\, and what they reveal about collaboration in Richardson’s studio\, with a focus on the design process that produced the Crane Library.\n\n\n\nThis event is open to all and free to attend.\n\n\n\nAs the Historical Society’s Annual Meeting officers and board members will be elected for the coming year.
