Hello, The "National Heritage Museum" in Lexington is a museum I've only been to twice. And, I don't often think of it. But, a member of the Chelmsford Genealogy Group who posts information for the members just posted about the latest event going on in the Museum. Augustus Frederick Sherman: Ellis Island Portraits 1905-1920 October 11, 2008 through April 26, 2009 Ellis Island, our nation's foremost immigration station, processed an average of 5,000 immigrants per day during the peak years from 1905-1907. Augustus Frederick Sherman entered public service as a clerk with the Immigration Division at Ellis Island in 1892, the year that the "Golden Door" was established. An accomplished amateur photographer, Sherman's position enabled him to take an astonishing body of portraits of over 200 families, groups, and individuals while they were being detained either for medical reasons or for further interrogation. "Augustus Frederick Sherman: Ellis Island Portraits, 1905-1920" brings together for the first time a collection of these striking photographs, presenting an unprecedented historical document. The exhibition is on view at the National Heritage Museum, 33 Marrett Road, Lexington, MA, October 11, 2008 through April 26, 2009. Admission is free. Check out the web site at www.nationalheritagemuseum.org Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. The museum is very easy to get to. It's right on Massachusetts Avenue, and not that far from the Arlington line. And, you can easily get to it via Rt. 2. Please pass this information along to other Lists which might be interested.
