Industrial Eden: The Legacy of Haywardville on Spot Pond Brook Monday, June 17, at 6:30 p.m. at the Malden Public Library – free to all – presented by The Preservation Collaborative, Inc. in partnership with the Malden Public Library. The Middlesex Fells Reservation is one of Metropolitan Boston’s most beautiful and treasured parks. Its natural landscape is well known and celebrated, but did you know it once had a more industrial past? The first mention of the Middlesex Fells region was in 1629 by the Sprague Brothers. Their careful notes on natural resources led other colonists to this area, including the famous Puritan leader John Winthrop. For the next three centuries, this rocky woodland region was part of the evolving New England landscapes. Generations worked farms in fields, pastures and woodlots. Businesses were established and industry took foothold in various forms. In the blink of an eye, this entire of way of life ceased for a higher cause: The Middlesex Fells was created for the general public to enjoy forever. Come for an evening to revisit the thriving enterprises, and the entrepreneurs, that changed this place, their towns, the Commonwealth and beyond. These programs are funded as part of Converse 2020: Exploring the Industrial History of Malden, a two-year program brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, with additional funds from the Malden Public Library. Go Local: Converse 2020 is a lecture and event series celebrating the life and philanthropic contributions of Malden’s first Mayor, Elisha Slade Converse, and the industrial history of Malden. Elisha (born in 1820) and Mary Diana Edmands Converse were the largest benefactors of many of Malden’s most important institutions: the Malden Public Library (Converse Memorial Building), Pine Banks Park, Fellsmere Park and Pond, the Malden YMCA, the First Baptist Church, the Malden Hospital, the Malden Home for Aged Persons, the Malden Auditorium, Malden Associated Charities, the Malden Industrial Aid Society, the Malden Day Nursery and many other community organizations. In 1853, Elisha founded the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, which was Malden’s largest employer and the world’s largest producer of fine rubber boots, shoes and overshoes. Malden residents were also employed at the Converse Rubber Shoe Company, which was founded in 1908 by Marquis Mills Converse (Elisha’s cousin), and was the home of the famous Chuck Taylor brand. The program series will continue through Elisha Converse’s 200th Birthday on July 28, 2020. 54 OAKES STREET EVERETT, MA 02149 Phone (617) 389-2448 www.saseverett.com Friday, June 14 at 8:30 PM Dance to the Beats of Saturday, June 15 at 8:30 PM Preschool to Grade 8 (PreK program starts at 2.9) Christian Values & Strong Academics Before/After School Programs Extra-Curricular Activities Financial Assistance Available Come and see the difference we can make in the life of your child!
