Thoreau Institute was founded in 1998 by the Walden Woods Project and the Thoreau Society to promote (through its collections, media center, and education programs) opportunities for learning about the life, work and influence (literary, environmental and social) of Henry David Thoreau. Located in Lincoln, Mass. on 18 acres of land, formerly the property of Jacob Baker. Acquired in 1994 by the Walden Woods Project. The Project was begun in 1990 by Don Henley to preserve the historic, ecologially significant land around Walden Pond, celebrated by Thoreau.
(Cont.) The Education Center provides administrative offices for the Institute, the Project, and the Thoreau Society (est. 1941). Residential quarters for visiting researchers and conference and seminar rooms are also available. The Research Center, newly constructed, contains the Media Center and the Library, which houses the archives of the Thoreau Society, the Walden Woods Project, and research collections. Among the invited guests at the Institute's grand opening ceremonies, June 5, 1998, were President and Mrs. Clinton, and Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.
