Plymouth Antiquarian Society Announces New Director

 
The Plymouth Antiquarian Society announces the appointment of Dr. Anne C. Reilly as its new Executive Director. Following a national job search, Dr. Reilly was selected with the unanimous approval of the Board of Trustees and will take the helm of the 96-year old institution in January. She leaves a recent position as the Director of the Hanover Historical Society.

Born and raised in Plymouth, Dr. Reilly was inspired to pursue a career in public history following undergraduate and graduate internships at Plimoth Plantation, the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, and the prestigious Winterthur Museum in Wilmington, DE. She holds a certificate in Museum Studies and received her Ph.D. in American Civilization from the University of Delaware in early 2015, where her studies focused on the political and cultural dynamics of historical commemorations, including Plymouth's Tercentenary Celebration in 1920-21. "Dr. Reilly's extensive knowledge of Plymouth history makes her exceptionally suited for this leadership position in our historical community," Antiquarian President Rose Stearns noted. "For almost a century, the Antiquarian Society has been Plymouth's key voice for historic preservation and has brought attention to the full scope of Plymouth history that unfolded after the Pilgrims," Dr. Reilly commented. "
 
In 2019, the Society will celebrate its centennial, to be followed by the town's 400th anniversary in 2020, and preserving our local history has never been more important. I'm honored to lead the Society at this strategic moment for Plymouth," she added.
 
For more information, please contact the Plymouth Antiquarian Society at 508-746-0012 or 617-605-4885 or by email at pasm@verizon.net.

A Very British Christmas is divided into three sections: Christmas in the Cathedral, Christmas at Home, and Christmas in the Country.

Of special note are settings by the recently deceased Sir David Willcocks. Willcocks, who was closely identified with music at King's College for most of his life, helped to reinvent the Christmas carol for 20th century audiences.
