an evening promenade along Main Street when a dozen groups entertain in

  A nearly quarter-mile-long panorama created in 1848 of a whaling
  voyage is being restored at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

"Something big is happening at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
**

It's bigger than a whale. In fact, it's nearly 20 times longer than the 
museum's 66-foot blue whale skeleton.

It's a painting, almost a quarter-mile long and 8½ feet high, of a 
whaling journey, called the "Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage 'Round 
the World."

When the painting went on tour in 1848, panoramas were all the rage, and 
it created a sensation. Audience members could pay 25 cents (equal to 
about $7.35 today) to sit in a theater and watch as the tempera painting 
on cotton sheeting was pulled across the stage, winding off from one 
spool and onto another. The performance, with intermission for spool 
changes, took two to three hours." from the Providence Journal Bulletin

In New England, cider making is to autumn what maple sugaring is to spring.
However, 19th-century farmers would not recognize the sweet cider we 
enjoy from farm stands today.
Cider in the 1800s was not merely the apple juice, but was fermented 
"squeezings" from apples, which meant the cider would keep through the 
spring planting, summer heat and into the harvesting of the next apple 
season.
