LCHS maintains historic buildings including Wilbor House, Friends Meeting House, Archival Barn,19th Century Barn, 19th Century Carriage House, Peggotty Artist Studio, Peaked Top School, Corn Crib, Privy, and the Chicken Food Cookhouse. The collection includes approximately 13,000 objects, photos, and documents relating to the history of Little Compton. 13371 145 Little Compton: A Changing Landscape This year-long public history program explored the intersection of history and the landscape from the time of drifting continents to the present day. It produced a beautifully illustrated hard cover book of essays on local landscape history, a special exhibition that ran from July to October, a lecture series, and related public programs. We estimate an audience of approximately 4000 people were served. This program added new information to our understanding of Little Comptons history and to our archive, and continued our efforts to inform and engage the public. 7398 13750 Public Archaeology Program - Manton Cellar Hole We partnered with the staff of the Public Archaeology Lab to conduct a phase one public archaeological survey of the Manton Cellar Hole. This site is significant as the home site of one of Little Comptons few 19th and 20th families of color. We recruited 12 volunteers to work with archaeologists to dig 25 test pits, collect artifacts, and process them in the Public Archaeology Lab. The artifacts will eventually join our collection. The lead archaeologist is now working on a report, and we will share that with the public via a zoom lecture this spring. This project involved a dozen volunteers and the culminating lecture should serve an audience of approximately 75 people. A recording of the lecture and the final report will be archived and will add to our knowledge base of local history. 4985 1418 Education Program: The organization runs youth summer camps, school programs, and adult programs that serve to educate the community about the history of Little Compton. The education program serves approximately 500 participants per year. 618 Remember Me was a public history program that actively recruited public support for Little Comptons 46 historic cemeteries. Historical Society staff and volunteers did deep primary source research into the history of each cemetery to write an accurate history for each. The society also recruited and trained 95 volunteers to clean 950 gravestones and hired conservators to repair approximamtely 25 broken gravestones. The temporary exhibition, public programs and cemetery guidebook produced as a result of this program shared and will continue to share the stories and significance of these historic places with the public. 5603 1418 127022 true true false false false false false true false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 19 19 false false false false true true true true true false false true false false true false false false X Bartlett Brownell 4016354035 PO Box 577 Little Compton RI 02837 X Helen Richmond Webb Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shelley Bowen Director 8.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Bridge Director 8.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bartlett Brownell President 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Randolph Byers Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Lisle Assistant Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 J William Middendorf Jr Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Rawson Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maureen Rego Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Montgomery Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Steers Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Suttell Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caroline Wilkie Wordell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Menoche Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Kilborn Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steven Lubar Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dora Atwater Millikin Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Juanita Goulart Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marjorie OToole Managing Director 40.00 0.00 X 66258 0 0 66258 0 0 0 false false false 20659 26460 1000 106604 154723 Museum admissions 611600 1063 1063 Program service fees 611600 580 580 1643 19234 19234 86719 77686 9033 9033 9033 18690 26460 10625 8065 8065 25729 18275 7454 7454 200152 9097 0 36332 X 66258 49694 6625 9939 23398 5249 17789 360 8425 4616 2963 846 2260 2260 11696 11696 3182 3182 12446 6373 4830 1243 935 935 8765 6761 1145 859 759 759 1419 1419 11225 7296 2245 1684 10931 6999 2317 1615 Acquisition and preservation 7455 7455 Supplies 15218 7466 7752 Hospitality 2649 2649 Repairs and maintenance 5349 5349 59 59 192429 127022 48861 16546 81373 175158 348 1735 29352 31385 3588 3672 460233 194763 274483 265470 863523 938247 1252667 1415667 3442 4762 3442 4762 X 1056138 1218118 193087 192787 1249225 1410905 1252667 1415667 7723 153957 0 X true X false true false X 164935 146397 122299 191888 154723 780242 164935 146397 122299 191888 154723 780242 238808 541434 20722 11503 14457 21147 19234 87063 1004 150 1154 868459 88028 0.62340 0.63270 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X false 143782 25159 25159 143782 118782 25000 3875 3875 143782 118782 19985 19985 118782 118782 9838 9838 118782 118782 3104 3104 118782 1.00000 false false 426497 163857 262640 33736 30906 2830 265470 EPP 37395 25860 11535 1175 6945 821 Antique Sale 7750 600 7150 1684 45145 26460 18685 1175 6945 2505 10625 8060 X 110 0 SFAS 116 false true false Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 The organization has approximately 1,500 members.
