Join us at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library at 1:00 pm for a screening of the 2024 documentary, Join or Die. In this Emmy-nominated film, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist–and former Lexington resident–Robert Putnam. Putnam’s groundbreaking book Bowling Alone and his research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars, as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with buttercream, romance, and a whole lot of vintage flair! In this hands-on cake decorating class, you’ll learn how to create a Lambeth-style (also known as “vintage”) heart cake—think elegant piping, frills, swags, and classic over-the-top charm. Each participant will receive a prepared 5 inch two-layer heart-shaped cake, ready to decorate from start to finish. When you sign up, you’ll choose the flavor (chocolate or vanilla) and filling (chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or raspberry mousse). During class, you’ll get to choose your frosting colors and decoration style, making your cake totally unique—soft and romantic, bold and dramatic, or anything in between. We’ll cover piping techniques, design ideas, and tips for achieving that iconic vintage Lambeth look, whether you’re a beginner or just looking to refine your skills. You’ll leave with a beautifully decorated heart cake, new decorating techniques, and the perfect edible Valentine (for a loved one… or yourself). No prior decorating experience required—just come ready to have fun and get a little sweet! |

We will join thousands of people across the country collaborating to make Black history primary research materials more widely available and to celebrate Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday: Valentine’s Day. This year, the transcriptions will focus on the Colored Conventions Project from the University of Delaware. These state and national conventions, held from the 1830s through Reconstruction, allowed Black abolitionists and leaders to work toward advancing the legal and civil rights of Black Americans in the 19th century and provided opportunities for leaders like Douglass to rise to prominence. |

As winter begins to soften and the promise of spring draws near, the Lexington Lantern Festival invites the community to gather on March 1 for an evening shaped by light, hope, and shared experience. Hosted at Cary Hall, the festival is a celebration of tradition, creativity, and togetherness. From 1:00 to 4:00 PM, Cary Hall comes alive with interactive booths, hands-on activities, and moments for reflection as visitors write wishes and create lantern-inspired keepsakes. Beginning at 4:00 PM, cultural performances and music fill the space, sharing stories through movement, sound, and tradition until 6:00 PM. As dusk settles, the celebration flows beyond the hall. From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, participants are invited to join a lantern parade from Cary Hall to the Visitors Center, carrying light, hopes, and collective spirit into the evening. The journey concludes with a shared moment of illumination at the Visitors Center, where the glow of lanterns reflects the community’s wishes for the future. The Lexington Lantern Festival is more than an event—it is a pause, a gathering, and a shared step forward, lighting the way together. |
