New England Historic Genealogical Society Chairman Nancy S. Maulsby christens the Boston Mayflower, a 1:12 scale model created by artisan Terry Geaghan. On April 17, 2019, New England Historic Genealogical Society held the first of a series of events in the U.S. commemorating the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower. More than 500 dignitaries, honored guests, members of the press, and the general public gathered for this official Boston launch. Four exhibits that explore 400 years of Mayflower and Wampanoag history were unveiled: a scale replica of the Mayflower, a sculpture of a Wampanoag mother and child recording their family history in wampum, an exhibit on the origins and legacy of the Mayflower, and an interactive display on the history of wampum belts.
Members of the Wampanoag Nation Singers and Dancers perform at New England Historic Genealogical Society.
