In the hopes of finding out more about Massachusetts' early settlers, tomorrow afternoon I'm going to start auditing a Smith College American Studies course called The Material Culture of New England, 1630-1860. Using the collections of nearby Historic Deerfield, a museum of New England history and art, the course explores New England's history through a wide variety of objects -- architecture, furniture, ceramics, and textiles. I'm looking forward to this perspective on looking at history and historical artifacts.
