We know a lot about the pivotal year 1776 in American history: from the&nbsp;British evacuating Boston in March, to the signing of the Declaration of&nbsp;Independence in the summer, to the cold, starving Continental army&nbsp;troops surprising the Hessians at Trenton, NJ on Christmas Day. But what&nbsp;do we really know about what it took to provision an eighteenth-century&nbsp;army with virtually no government infrastructure, funds, or military&nbsp;administration? Come learn how the Huntingtons and their maritime&nbsp;associates, facilitated the transfer of Continental army troops, and&nbsp;equipment, from Massachusetts down to Manhattan throughout 1776.&nbsp;Discover how savvy ship captains shuttled these men, and goods, at&nbsp;Norwich’s wharves at the bequest of the merchant Huntington brothers:&nbsp;Joshua and Andrew. And, how the skilled workers at the docks did their&nbsp;part too. The information presented is based on primary source materials&nbsp;from the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, the Connecticut&nbsp;Museum of Culture and History in Hartford, and online resources.

The Cut - Stage • Studio • Restaurant • Bar

Charlestown-born Steve Sweeney is known as the "undisputed King of Boston comedy“, the embodiment of the city he calls home, a local guy who has become a nationally recognizable talent.
Sweeney is known not only as a headlining comedian, but also through his many memorable TV and movie appearances. During the early 1970s, a small group of Boston 'would-be' comedians performed regularly at a comedy club started by Martin Olson and Barry Crimmins in a back room of the Chinese restaurant, Ding-Ho, near Inman Square in Cambridge, MA. This group also included such unknowns as Lenny Clarke, Kevin Meaney, Jay Leno, Bobcat Goldthwait, Bill Sohonage, and Steven Wright. Steve stood out from the crowd by incorporating his great insight into the New England political scene into his act.
He was the first of the Boston super-stars to break into television, appearing on "Park Street Under," a Boston based sitcom that many believe was the inspiration for the highly successful television show "Cheers." He's also been on "Late Night with David Letterman," "Evening at The Improv" and "Comics Come Home." You might remember his small but hilarious parts in films such as Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School," Judd Apatow's "Celtic Pride," and "There's Something About Mary" with Ben Stiller.

Join us for our 3rd Annual, Mother’s Day Weekend, Home Studio Show. Original artwork by Wenham artist Jeff Pacione who’s work ranges from realistic/semi-realistic plein air oil paintings created in numerous places across the country, to still lifes produced in his intimate home studio. With Jeff’s broad stylist scope and ability to capture dramatic color, lighting, and mood ­— you’ll be sure to find something that piques your interest.

A branding and design specialist by trade, Jeff studied at Carnegie Mellon, worked in Boston and London for many years, and co-founded and ran Catapult Thinking from 2000 – 2015. 
Following a stroke during a triple by-pass in 2015, Jeff’s recovery process was long and difficult, bolstered by refocusing on the more artistic side of himself. He found his love of fine art again and has enjoyed honing his skills over the past six years. Despite having to relearn many things with his less dominant side, he now draws with his right hand and paints with his left. Jeff’s main challenge remains language retrieval (Aphasia).
We hope to see you there.
