On this one of two special nights at the Museum, hours are extended and paid admission is waived as we invite the community into conversation around topics connected to Dorothea Lange’s America and join together in fun fall activities. Music, a cash bar, and light refreshments from Providence Restaurant and Catering will be available. 

September 27, 6 p.m.

With Migrant Mother, Dorothea Lange captured something universal in the face of Florence Owens Thompson, leading generations of observers to empathize with the stranger in the photograph. Local residents who have lived the migrant experience will share their own stories in this program co-presented by New Winston Museum. Panelists will reflect on what they see when they look at Lange’s masterpiece, and enrich our understanding of local history.
