Hearthside House Museum

Hearthside Museum’s current exhibit, “We the People, A Journey Through Great Road’s History and Legacy", offers unique perspectives on local people, events, and objects that shaped the nation’s history and our local community. At the center of the story is Commodore Silas Talbot, a Revolutionary War hero with ties to Lincoln's Hearthside House through his descendant Arnold G. Talbot. Through family artifacts, historic weaponry, artwork, and historical interpretation from informative panels and docents in period attire, Talbot's story offers a window into the courage, resilience, and ambition that defined the early years of the United States. Among his many notable achievements was serving in both the Continental Army and Navy and as captain of the USS Constitution, “Old Ironsides.” The extensive exhibit is displayed throughout two floors of this award-winning house museum. Guides in period attire help visitors discover the history that surrounds them. The open hours are from 1-4 pm, with last admittance at 3:00.
Other Great Road Heritage Campus sites are also featured. One of the rarest survivors of the early Industrial Revolution during the 19th century is the Moffett Mill, built at the time of the War of 1812. Among the first wooden machine shops in the state, the Moffett Mill, which was first owned by the Olney family and later by the Moffett family. It was a versatile shop that handled building or repairing just about anything needed by area residents, farms, and mills. Original tools and equipment remain in place, giving visitors a sense of a journey back in time to when the water-powered mill was still in operation. Access to the Mill is only by shuttle van that leaves from Hearthside at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 pm. with a 40-minute guided tour. Also open at Chase Farm Park is Bill Hannaway's Blacksmith Shop, which originally started as part of the Moffett Mill. Today, it continues to produce hand-forged items in the shop that at originally sat across from Hearthside and once served residents, farms, and businesses in this community during its early years.Early education is the theme in the Pullen's Corner Schoolhouse at Chase Farm Park as well.&nbsp; This one-room schoolhouse dating to 1850 was the last to close in Lincoln in 1922. It once housed area children of ages 5-14, learning their lessons together.&nbsp; Filled with artifacts from the earliest years of education, the schoolhouse is a museum.&nbsp; It was moved to this site in 2017 to join in with the other historic sites in being preserved and representing the story of 19th century history in Lincoln.
Admission to the museum is $15. Visitors may select to also visit the Mill which is included in the ticket price. Advance registration is available through the website <a href="https://greatroadheritagecampus.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">greatroadheritagecampus.org</a> or pay at entrance to Hearthside.

Art Play Learn Online

Take an art-creation journey each week that helps you develop your art technique and your artistic expression. Each week there will be a theme which will result in following instructor-led guided art and then adding your own personal artist spice to it using a variety of art media.Some examples from the past have been a guided drawing of an endangered animal with students' individual ideas of the landscape that animal might live in. The landscape ideas are formed using the Socratic Method of asking them questions that do not necessarily have to be answered out loud- but can be. Just letting those questions bounce around your head will help ideas form and get curated. In addition to learning art techniques and expression, students gain knowledge about the theme through fun facts, and games.
