2020 Annual Report
Click here to review our 2020 Annual Report. We are proud that our staff accomplished so many mission-driven goals despite a global pandemic.
Welcome to our new president
We are delighted to welcome Ken Turino, a leader in the museum field, as our newly appointed president of the Board of Trustees. “I originally joined because I truly believe in the mission and The Gables’ commitment to issues of social justice,” states Turino. “Ours is an extraordinary historic site with an extraordinary history that seeks to engage the community with programs and interpretation.”
Ken Turino is a curator, educator, director, producer, and author. As Manager of Community Partnerships and Resource Development at Historic New England [link to www.historicnewengland.org], he oversees community engagement projects throughout the region and is responsible for exhibitions. His films have been shown on PBS including the prize-winning film, “Back to School: Lessons from Norwich’s (VT) One-Room Schoolhouses.” Ken has published numerous public history articles including many with a focus on interpreting historic sites and on LGBTQ history. Ken’s most recent publication in 2019, with Max van Balgooy, is “Reinventing the Historic House Museum, New Approaches and Proven Solutions.” Ken has served in a number of leadership and consultation roles at historic sites across the country.
“I’m excited to take the lead at this welcoming, vibrant, and relevant institution,” he says.
