Now in its third year, the “People of Concord Summer Series” brings to life some remarkable people of Concord’s past including ornithologist William Brewster, abolitionist Mary Merrick Brooks and educator and social justice advocate Ellen Garrison. The “People of Concord Summer Series” is scheduled for three evenings at Wright Tavern on July 26, August 16 and August 21 at 7:00pm.

Presenter: Jayne Gordon

Ornithologist William Brewster, founder of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, used Concord as his field station. Public historian Jayne Gordon will examine Brewster’s observations on the landscape of Concord, his relationships with two people who helped immensely in his work, and his lifetime contribution to the study of birds.
