SUMMARY:Mathew Brady Memorial Dedication
DESCRIPTION:America\, especially the Washington area\, is steeped in the idea of Abraham Lincoln. 2022 marks two important anniversaries\, the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Lincoln Memorial and the 200th anniversary of renowned photographer Mathew Brady’s birthday. In this critical year\, historian Larry West will unveil a new Memorial to Brady in the very shadow of his own gravesite\, at Historic Congressional Cemetery (HCC). \nBelva Lockwood\, Library of Congress \n \nPlease join us on September 17\, 2022 from 2:00-4:00 PM for a dedication ceremony at the Historic Congressional Cemetery\, only a few miles from the original Brady Gallery of Washington and from the Douglass Cedar Hill House. The event is free to attend and complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be served.  Safe and comfortable footwear is recommended. Come and learn and relax and sink into positive America. \nAlcohol will be available to be purchased and several American history experts will be featured as speakers. Tickets are not required for entry but we ask that you please RSVP HERE. \nKnown as the Father of Photojournalism\, Brady stands as one of the most accomplished and celebrated photographers in American history. He was among the first to take an artistic approach to photography\, blending the science of daguerreotyping with a creative approach to lighting\, framing\, and composition. \n \nWalt Whitman\, Library of Congress \nHis art reflected the diversity of the American experience\, capturing stunning portraits of Americans of all races\, genders\, and backgrounds. Some of his clients included Abraham Lincoln\, Frederick Douglass\, Edgar Allen Poe\, and Belva Lockwood. As Congressional Cemetery is also a place for people of all backgrounds\, there is no more fitting place for a memorial to the man behind the camera. \nKnown for his studio portraits of notable 19th century individuals and his unprecedented photo documentation of the carnage of the Civil War\, Brady’s pioneering work stands as a testament to his place in the narrative of American history. \nThe Mathew Brady Memorial\, erected near Brady’s final resting place at Congressional Cemetery\, will celebrate Brady’s outstanding achievements but also reflect the diversity of his subjects and the Washington community. The memorial consists of life-sized bronze statues of President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass\, along with a life sized porcelain photo of Mathew Brady\,  made during the war\, with a replica of his camera\, in bronze. Visitors are welcome to pose for their own photos in the memorial! There is also a state-of-the-art image wall with over 86 images in porcelain by Italian artisans. It even includes a reproduction daguerreotype of a dog! Also\, be on the lookout for a special surprise built into the memorial. \nJohn Brown\, National Portrait Gallery   \nAfter remarks and light refreshments\, visitors are welcome to tour the grounds with light refreshments. The 4 speakers\, after their remarks\, will walk the grounds and randomly hand out 40 Frederick Douglass collectible quarters from the U.S. Mint. The coin features Cedar Hill\, the Washington D.C. home of Frederick and Anna Douglass. \nDouglass Quarter\, U.S. Mint \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIn addition\, attendees are free to interact with a “show and tell” hands on display of REAL daguerreotypes\, ambrotypes\, tintypes\, porcelains\, and paper prints\, all of which were made and marketed by Brady’s New York and Washington Galleries. Visitors are also free to pick up a brochure from the Daguerreian Society if they wish to join. \nLarry West explains that “Lincoln was well-known for his sense of humor\, even with his Secretary of War. If he was here maybe he would let us borrow from one of his speech  es\, given at Dedication of a Memorial (The Gettysburg Memorial\, dedication of 1863)\, when he said: “It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this”. In our case\, we will take great liberties & relate it as the use of a bronze of him…\, the new Brady Memorial also has a fair focus on African American history & achievement. When you think about it\, that was also true of President Lincoln. Indeed\, greatly so\, across Emancipation and use of Black soldiers to help win the Civil War. So\, it’s especially important to include a life-size bronze of Frederick Douglass right by Lincoln in our Memorial. And to have a readable copy of the Emancipation of 1863\, in Lincoln’s left hand.” \nUlysses S. GrantLibrary of Congress \nAbraham Lincoln\, National Portrait Gallery \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLarry and Congressional Cemetery hope that the new Memorial will allow visitors to meditate on the important crossroads of history\, photography\, and diversity that reflect our strengths as a Washington community and as Americans. \nFrederick Douglass\, Library of Congress \nAdelaide Johnson\, Architect of the Capitol \nHeader Image: Library of Congress

SUMMARY:Tombs & Tomes Book Club September (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:From GoodReads.com: \n\n\nFor readers of Jon Krakauer and Douglas Preston\, the critically acclaimed author and journalist Jon Billman’s fascinating\, in-depth look at people who vanish in the wilderness without a trace and those eccentric\, determined characters who try to find them. \nThese are the stories that defy conventional logic. The proverbial vanished without a trace incidences\, which happen a lot more (and a lot closer to your backyard) than almost anyone thinks. These are the missing whose situations are the hardest on loved ones left behind. The cases that are an embarrassment for park superintendents\, rangers and law enforcement charged with Search & Rescue. The ones that baffle the volunteers who comb the mountains\, woods and badlands. The stories that should give you pause every time you venture outdoors. \n\nInterested in learning more? Read our Blog Post about Tombs and Tomes\, or request to join our Goodreads group. \nStill interested? Sign up here! \n

SUMMARY:Mostly Mothers: The Eternal Maternal at Congressional Cemetery Tour
DESCRIPTION:Originally created for Mother’s Day visitors\, this tour focuses exclusively on women for whom motherhood was central to their identities\, their lives and sometimes their deaths.  Women celebrated on this tour may have been biological mothers\, such as Lucy Bell\, who devoted her life to fighting for her family’s freedom from slavery\, and expectant mother Sarah Reed\,  who died reportedly trying to save her stepchildren during the explosion of the steamship Wawaset.  Others are metaphorical\, like Mother of Gay Rights Barbara Gittings\, or whimsical\, like Flora Darling\, founder of “Daughters of” organizations\, such as the DAR.  Walk among two centuries of motherhood at Congressional as we honor the public and private roles of some of our female residents. \nPlease be aware that the cemetery is open to dogs on Sundays\, so please only visit if you’re comfortable with off-leash pups. \n$5 per person. Comfortable attire is strongly encouraged. \nMeet the docent inside the front gate and the tour is rain or shine.
