Coffee and Conversations at the Carlson Education Center: Red Coat and White Ribbon

Carlson Education Center & Janet & William Ellery James Center
CAM Green, 13 Poplar Street, Gloucester, MA
CAM Members Free, Non-Members $5
Registration required as space is limited.

The Redcoat in CAM’s collection is the only surviving example of a British enlisted man’s uniform of this era and was captured during the War of 1812. Join us for a deep dive to learn about the coat and the Gloucester families behind the story.

Join us Thursdays for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson Center, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience.
