SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings
DESCRIPTION:1776 was more than a turning point; it marked the birth of a new world order. A bold line was drawn as ordinary people made extraordinary decisions\, declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth. Driven by youthful fire\, they believed in the promise of liberty more than they feared the cost of pursuing it.\nHistoric Beverly proudly presents The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings\, a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of artworks commissioned to illustrate Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr.’s landmark book.\nThese paintings are featured in Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary The American Revolution. The exhibit will be on display at the Cabot House from September 6\, 2025 to July 4\, 2026. Tickets are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Poetry Corner featuring North Andover Poet Laureate Christa Lamb
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Corner is back\, featuring the return of our newest North Andover Poet Laureate Christa Lamb. \nChrista April Lamb is a Massachusetts-based poet and writer whose work moves from close\, intimate observation into embodied protest and participatory poems that invite shared responsibility. Shaped by neurodivergent perception\, her poetry examines how language behaves under pressure — in the body\, in relationships\, and in the world. Her recent work engages directly with the present moment\, including poems about democracy\, voice\, and interruption\, alongside deeply personal poems about love\, loss\, and orientation. Christa is currently working on a memoir about growing up undiagnosed autistic and finding language for a life finally understood. She also serves as Director of Media & Communications for Revolutionary Valley\, where she shapes stories rooted in place and history through language\, design\, and visual media.
