Be Part of the Story Before It Opens.
This story has been waiting for more than three centuries. Now it is finally being told.

No spam. No selling your information. Just the story, as it happens.
In 1707, two English boys were taken from a farm in Groton, Massachusetts during a global war. They chose to stay with the Mohawk nation. They raised families. They became chiefs. Their name — Tarbell — traveled through ten generations of Mohawk culture and arrived here.
The Tarbell Charitable Trust is reuniting the two family lines through newly commissioned art, opening the exhibition in the very town where the story began. Every dollar raised at the 2030 gala goes directly to the Mohawk language preservation program that ensures this story does not end with us.
