Cape Cod Maritime Museum

Cape Cod is a destination for visitors drawn to our iconic lighthouses. Many imagine the romantic life of a lighthouse keeper — watching the sea, guiding ships, and living on the edge of the coast. But in the 19th and early 20th century United States, this profession was almost entirely closed to women.

 For most, the only path to becoming a keeper came through loss — stepping into the role after the death of a father or husband. Here on Cape Cod, five remarkable women did exactly that. They took on the responsibility of tending the light, maintaining the stations, and safeguarding mariners, earning admiration and respect for their dedication, resilience, and skill.

 Sam Notick, Collections and Exhibits Manager at the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, will share the stories of these trailblazing women who kept the lights shining on Cape Cod.

Bonnie Campbell Lilienfeld - Curator at the Sandwich Glass Museum &amp; Historical Society - explores how glass, both practical and decorative, offers a revealing glimpse into daily life in colonial New England. Her talk examines the use of glass in early homes, from windowpanes to tableware, much of it imported through trade with England and beyond. She also highlights early efforts at glassmaking in the colonies, considering what these objects reveal about changing tastes, everyday routines, and expanding global connections. By the time of the American Revolution, glass had taken on added significance, reflecting the economic pressures and political tensions of the era.
