The Thoreau Alliance was well represented at the Concord Patriots Day Parade with the Executive Director Rebecca Migdal and the Shop at Walden Pond's Manager Chynna Lemire.
The purpose of the Alliance is to stimulate interest in and foster education about Thoreau’s life, works, legacy and his place in his world and in ours, challenging all to live a deliberate, considered life.
To support this mission, the Alliance hosts programs and publications that educate the public about Thoreau’s work and legacy, supports research about his life and writing, serves as a repository for a collection of Thoreauviana, advocates for the preservation of Thoreau Country, and maintains the birth house of Henry Thoreau on Virginia Road in Concord, Massachusetts, as a cultural and education center open to all.
There are two major components to the organization’s structure: The Thoreau Society, including the membership, collections, and publications; and Thoreau Farm, including the birth house, its operations, and its property.
