Lynn Legacies: The Next Generation

Note: The date for Lynn Legacies: The Next Generation has been moved to Thursday, October 22nd, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. We've carefully decided on this change to accommodate some our honorees who have scheduling conflicts to allow them to fully participate in both this event as well as other significant events in our great city.

For more than a century, the Lynn Museum & Arts Center has collected, maintained, and fostered an appreciation of Lynn through its textiles, paintings, photographs, and historical artifacts. Lynn is a city built on lasting legacies – legacies that the Museum has committed to preserving and passing on to future generations. Lynn Legacies: The Next Generation is part of that effort. Two decades after the Museum recognized 59 individuals and companies as part of the original Lynn Legacies project, Lynn Legacies: The Next Generation shines a light on a new group of honorees – many of them sons and daughters of the first originals – who also have made a significant contribution to Lynn’s history.

Join us for a celebration of our 2026 class of Lynn Legacies on Thursday, October 22 at 6 pm at the Museum (590 Washington Street, Lynn, MA 01901).

Tour our latest exhibitions, get a unique, up-close look at some of our most distinctive objects, and enjoy a special commemorative display as part of the festivities.

Heavy appetizers and refreshments available. Tickets are $50 each or $80 for two. All proceeds benefit the Lynn Museum & Arts Center (Lynn Historical Society, Inc).
