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 conversation to learn about the coat, Gloucester in the Revolutionary War, and local Battle of Bunker Hill hero Benjamin Webber and his extended family.

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.
