News and Notes

There have been some last-minute changes to the first Hive's schedule. All the same events will occur, but some of the times have changed.

Workshop date changes: The cocked hat workshop has been rescheduled to Saturday, Feb. 11 (Part 1) and Saturday, Mar. 24 (Part 2). The cartridge pouch workshop has been rescheduled to Saturday, Feb. 18.

All activities for the 2011–2012 season will take place at the Major John Buttrick House except where noted otherwise. The Buttrick House is the yellow center entrance colonial on Liberty St in Concord, across from the North Bridge Visitor Center. There is plenty of parking at the visitor center.

The Hive was created for the living history community as a place to develop, improve and grow 18th century impressions—where current research about material culture in 1770’s New England could be shared. In addition, The Hive is available as a resource to help volunteers and participants attain Battle Road and Minute Man National Historical Park clothing standards.

The Sunday Hive sessions are free of charge and open to Park Volunteers and members of the living history community. Please note that some clinics have materials costs, which are payable to the instructor on the day of the clinic.

Pre-registration is required for both Hive lectures and clinics so we can plan for adequate space and materials. Please register early, as space in some classes is limited. We will do our best to accommodate all registrations but cannot guarantee a spot if you do not register.

All events take place in Minute Man National Historic Park. Events take place at the Major John Buttrick House except where noted otherwise. Please check here for any last minute changes in location.
