The Wayside: Home of Authors
Saturday, June 29, 2024
10am-4pm
As America’s storytellers, the National Park Service is committed to telling the history of all Americans in all of its diversity and complexity (NPS LGBTQ Heritage). Queer experiences–that is, experiences that fall somewhere outside of typical expectations surrounding gender and sexuality–have always been a part of the human experience.
Although societal prejudices have historically caused these stories to be ignored, censored, or even erased; letters, diaries, and other records leave clues about the complex inner worlds of people in the past.
For a special celebration of Pride Month join us as we trace the private lives and emotions of the Concordians connected to the Wayside throughout the nineteenth century. Using the personal lives of individuals like Louisa May Alcott, the Hawthornes, and those in their personal orbits, join us to discover the Wayside as a home for queer identity, and a site to inspire more inclusive history.
