SUMMARY:Jewish History in Maine (Virtual Gathering)
DESCRIPTION:Jews have a long history in Maine\, with thriving communities across the state. They came to Maine for the same reasons as so many others: to live well and raise their families within the state’s appealing natural and cultural environment. The experiences of Jewish Mainers\, however\, have also been distinctive on account of their occupational choices and traditions as well as their encounters with antisemitism. How have Jews sought to contribute to Maine’s economic\, cultural\, and social landscape\, and how did they gain widespread acceptance? How have these Mainers sustained their own religion\, culture\, and ethnic ties while embracing the broader communities to which they belong? How did the challenges and opportunities that Jews faced in Maine change over time\, and how do these challenges relate to those faced by Jews in other parts of the country? Join us for an engaging conversation with David Freidenreich to learn more!\n\nAbout the speaker: Rabbi Dr. David M. Freidenreich is the Pulver Family Professor of Jewish Studies at Colby College\, where he serves as chair of the Jewish studies department and associate director of the Center for Small Town Jewish Life. He directs Colby’s Maine Jewish History Project\, whose website (web.colby.edu/jewsinmaine) features dozens of essays on the state’s Jewish history\, including several he wrote. David’s primary research focuses on Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic attitudes toward one another: he is the author of “Foreigners and Their Food: Constructing Otherness in Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic Law” and\, most recently\, “Jewish Muslims: How Christians Imagined Islam as the Enemy.”\n\nDonations made to the Brick Store Museum during the Candlelight Stroll: A Festival of Traditions programming (including this) will support the Brick Store Museum’s educational mission with a portion of proceeds donated to support other cultural organizations in southern Maine (see our full Festival of Traditions page for full details!).\n\nSubmit your name and email address BELOW to register for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Dear Sarah: A Play of Historic Letters
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT!\n[Please email info@brickstoremuseum.org if you are interested in an additional show!] \n“Dear Sarah\,” a play about the true Kennebunk love story of doomed sea captain Charles Barry and his wife Sarah\, will be presented by the Brick Store Museum on Saturday\, February 24 at 3:00pm\, paired with light appetizers by Above & Beyond Catering and tastes of historic wines that the Barrys would have enjoyed in the mid-19th century. \nThe 50-minute show will cover two years of the married couple’s separation due to Captain Barry’s work as a sea captain from Kennebunk in the 1840s. \nThe play was crafted through Barry’s letters to his wife during his travels around the world\, which are now held in the Museum’s Archives. \nCaptain Charles Barry was born in 1811 in Boston. He became a ship captain at an early age\, and married Sarah\, the oldest daughter of Kennebunk shipbuilder William Lord\, in the 1840s. Throughout his years away from Sarah at sea\, Barry continually wrote to her\, describing what he saw\, felt\, and experienced. They couple had two young sons when Captain Barry and his ship\, the William Lord\, went missing after departing from South Carolina in 1850. He was never heard from again. \nTickets: $20 per person\, $15 for Museum Members (reserve yours below!). \nSupported by Marquee Sponsor Kennebunk Savings Bank

SUMMARY:Lecture: Pride & Prejudice 2.0: Diversity\, Visibility and Progress
DESCRIPTION:Why do we celebrate Pride? Join the Brick Store Museum to hear the history of this social movement. The evolution of human society\, with the challenges we have had and continue to face\, requires thinking that is different. New and as yet unknown problems demand novel\, divergent thinking\, at the same time as we struggle to find more inclusivity that allows more input\, more unique ways of looking at the world which ultimately lead to solutions we cannot anticipate by doing otherwise. \n \nThe Pride movement stems from a singular event\, the Stonewall uprising\, where LGBTQ+ people fought back against prejudice\, discrimination\, and violence. Part of the Pride movement that began in the 1970s was a critical examination of the largely invisible contributions of LGBTQ+ people in a wide array of social\, political\, scientific\, and economic pursuits. This short presentation\, followed by a discussion\, will delve into the very human elements of pride and prejudice\, as it presents in social interactions; showcase important LGBTQ+ contributors to think about; and highlight why we should reconsider long-held biases towards LGBTQ+ people from the view of human advancement. \nThe presenter\, Christine Caulfield\, has been a volunteer at Maine Transgender Network for over eight years\, facilitating support groups for transgender individuals over 35\, running workshops and training in a variety of public and professional settings\, and acting as board treasurer. She is a retired high school teacher\, a proud parent and grandparent\, a world traveler\, and ardent fan of history. She welcomes the opportunity for these presentations and discussions. \nAdmission to the lecture is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated to support continued programming. Don’t forget to visit the Museum to add the names of those you love to our Pride Garland\, throughout the month of June! \nPlease RSVP below so the Museum can have an accurate guest count.

SUMMARY:All Souls' Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Brick Store Museum’s All Souls’ Walk began its annual Hallowmas season tradition 21 years ago this year\, with a guided walk through neighboring Hope Cemetery. Join us this year to revisit old friends and hear NEW tales from the past honoring their lives and stories.\n  \n\nThe All Souls’ Walk invites participants into Hope Cemetery & Woods\, led by a knowledgeable tour guide\, to “meet” the ghosts of Kennebunk’s past and learn about the lives of residents that came before us.\n\n  \nStories and experiences range from funny\, to sad\, to passionate\, to mystifying. Not too spooky\, it’s the perfect Halloween activity for the whole family. The tour lasts about 75 minutes\, and covers roughly a 1/2 mile through the cemetery.\n\n  \nPresented with our Mission Partners at: Maine Community Bank\n  \n\n\nThis tour SELLS OUT. For those wanting to ensure they are in a tour group with friends and family\, please purchase your tickets together. The Museum will not be able to “add” you to a sold-out tour (even if the rest of your party is already signed up). The maximum tour size is 20 people. Adding more attendees to any tour decreases the experience for everyone. Thank you for understanding. \nPlease Note: We are aware that ticket emails are not being received by many purchasers. As we work to resolve this\, please rest assured that if you do not receive an email confirmation of your purchase\, as long as your card has been charged for the purchase\, your name is on our list and you do not need to do anything further (except come to the event!).

SUMMARY:Punch Needle Workshop: Discover Two Styles
DESCRIPTION:Explore the art of punch needle embroidery in this hands-on workshop! You’ll learn to create beautiful textures using two techniques: the Oxford Punch with yarns and the Ultra Punch (or Russian Punch) with DMC and Valdani threads. \nPunching mimics the look of hand-hooked and embroidered work—but it’s easier! If you can hold a pencil\, you can punch. \nThis session focuses on learning and experimentation rather than completing a set project. The class includes materials to practice both styles\, such as yarns\, threads\, monk’s cloth for the Oxford Punch\, and weaver’s cloth for the Ultra Punch. Tools\, hoops\, and scissors will be available for use during class and can be purchased separately. \nInstructor: Lisanne Miller
