Ben Franklin's world is a production of the

O'Mohandro Institute and this series is made possible with support from

Mass Humanities. Hello and happy holidays. Welcome to a special bonus episode of Ben Franklin's world. The podcast dedicated to helping you

learn more about how the people and events of our early American past have shaped

the present day world we live in. And I'm your host, Liz Kovart. Over the last two episodes,

you've heard our series about the world of the Wompanog. In the course of producing this

series, we were able to speak with representatives from two museums.

Jade Lewis, curator of collections at the Plymouth Patuxet Muse, and Lorene Spears, executive

director of the Tomacag Museum in Rhode Island.

Both Jade and Laren took the time to tell me about their museums and what it would be like if we were to visit them.

So our bonus investigation today will be to explore

what awaits us at the Plymouth Batuxet and Tomacwag museums. But first, special

series like the World of the Wamponog series take a lot of time and resources to produce.

In fact, each episode of the World of the Wamponog series took more than one hour of labor to produce each minute you heard in the

episodes. We'd like to produce more narrative series like the world of the

Wompanog series, but we really need your help to do it.
