The ever-active Trips Committee announced a new trip for Wednesday, January 8 to the New York City Historical Society, New York.
There are four exhibitions to explore there: “Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere,” more than 150 objects examining the life of the patriot, silversmith, printer of engravings and entre-preneur; “Mark Twain and the Holy Land,” about his 5½-month steamship voyage to Europe and the Mediterranean, resulting in The Innocents Abroad; “Artist in Exile: The Visual Diary of Baroness Hyde de Neuville (1771-1849),” 114 watercolors and drawings, many recently discovered, showing the history, culture and people of the young American republic by a woman and outsider; and “Holiday Express,” the annual train show.
Sign-up for the trip will, as usual, be in the Trips Book located in the Activities Alcove.
