"The Best Ever!" Parades in New England, 1788-1940 | A Q&A with Jane Nylander

For centuries, Americans have celebrated their history and public identity with parades. Marching politicians and soldiers, stirring music, colorful flags and banners, ornamented fire engines, costumed school children, and colorful floats set forth on the stage of town after town to symbolize traditions and values that Americans hold dear. Sometimes sophisticated, often naïve, and occasionally hilarious, parade presentations present stories of deep meaning to those involved.
In this webinar, Jane Nylander will share highlights and answer questions about the intensive research distilled in her engaging new book, “The Best Ever!” Parades in New England, 1788-1940.
