SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Kids' Workshop:  Make Your Own Valentine’s Day Chocolates
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, Feb. 8\, from 11 am.-12 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society is again offering a very popular chocolate-making workshop for kids in grades K-8. Program participants will make something extra nice for their Valentine–delicious\, professional-looking\, molded chocolates and a decorated box to put them in!

The cost is $10 for members\, $15 for non-members. \nDid you know? \n“Although 18th-century Americans did not enjoy candy bars or other modern chocolate treats as we know them today\, they did love chocolate. In fact\, George Washington ordered 20 pounds of chocolate from British merchant Thomas Knox in 1757 . . . . as hot chocolate was a favorite breakfast beverage at Mount Vernon. . . . This was the first of many chocolate orders he placed over the course of his life.” — From George Washington’s Mount Vernon website \n“The tradition of giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day can be traced to Richard Cadbury\, of the English chocolate-making family\, who “invented” the first Valentine’s Day candy box during the Victorian era. The Victorians\, who fancied decorating cards with plump cupids shooting arrows of love\, later transferred the image to the lids of heart-shaped boxes filled with dreamy combinations of silken chocolates.” –“For Lovers\, Chocolate\,” The Buffalo News

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society's Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids:  Hand Pies
DESCRIPTION:“The first pies\, called ‘coffins’ or ‘coffyns’ (the word actually meant a basket or box) were savory meat pies with the crusts or pastry being tall\, straight-sided with sealed-on floors and lids. Open-crust pastry (no tops or lids) were known as ‘traps.’ These pies held assorted meats and sauce components and were baked more like a modern casserole with no pan (the crust itself was the pan\, its pastry tough and inedible). The crusts were often made several inches thick to withstand many hours of baking\,” says What’s Cooking\, America. \nHand pies are small circles of thick pie dough\, filled and folded over\, baked\, then ready to be pocketed and eaten on the run. Museum educator Katherine Karlik will talk with the kids about how to make these self-contained foods which were easy to cook\, inexpensive\, portable and could be consumed anywhere with minimal mess. The hand pie will be cherry\, in honor of George Washington’s birthday (Feb 22\, 1732). \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards–as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” and New England chowder. Suggested for ages 6-12. \nCost for members is $10; Non-members are $15. Space is limited—please register by email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\n“Pilgrims brought English-style\, meat-based recipes with them to the colonies. . . . Primary documents indicate that pilgrims cooked with fowl and venison — and it’s not unlikely that some of that meat found its way between sheets of dough at some point. The colonists cooked many a pie: because of their crusty tops\, pies acted as a means to preserve food\, and were often used to keep the filling fresh during the winter months. And they didn’t make bland pies\, either: documents show that the Pilgrims used dried fruit\, cinnamon\, pepper and nutmeg to season their meats. Further\, as the colonies spread out\, the pie’s role as a means to showcase local ingredients took hold and with it came a proliferation of new\, sweet pies.” \n– Time.com

SUMMARY:LECTURE:  The Movement was a Great “Mosaic”–CT Women and Stories from the Suffrage Campaign
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Kelly Marino\, presented by the Wilton League of Women Voters and the Wilton Historical Society \nWith 2020 marking the Centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, the Wilton League of Women Voters and the Wilton Historical Society have partnered to present a talk by Dr. Kelly Marino. “The Movement was a Great ‘Mosaic’: Connecticut Women and Stories from the Suffrage Campaign” will take place on Saturday\, Feb. 29 at 4 p.m.. \nWell-known suffragist and later Ridgefield\, CT resident Alice Paul once commented that she always felt that the women’s movement was a sort of “mosaic”. Each person “puts in one little stone” and makes a unique contribution important to fueling the larger effort. \nMarino’s presentation explores the history of the suffrage movement in Connecticut by highlighting the stories of several key women who contributed to the campaign in different ways. It includes colorful narratives from their biographies and backgrounds as well as their tactics and reform efforts to promote women’s right to vote and other causes beyond to improve the lives of women and children in the United States. \nIn addition to recognizing the Suffrage movement\, the event will also serve to celebrate the founding of the League of Women Voters on Feb. 14\, 1920 plus the establishment of the Wilton branch 40 years ago. The location is the Wilton Historical Society\, and the presentation will be followed by a reception. \nAll are welcome. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDr. Kelly Marino is a historian of 20th century America with a focus on women’s history and the history of sexuality. A native of Connecticut\, she is passionate about state and local history. She received her BSED and CT Teacher’s Certification from CCSU in 2008 and MA from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst in 2010. She graduated with her Ph.D. from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2016 and started work at Sacred Heart University in the Fall of 2019. Dr. Marino teaches courses on United States history and surveys of western civilization.

SUMMARY:Wilton High School Organic Garden Plant Sale
DESCRIPTION:The Wilton High School Garden Club is conducting an organic garden native plant sale\, now through April 24; plant pickup is Saturday\, May 9. \nNot only can residents purchase wildflower seedlings for their own gardens\, their purchases will help benefit the local Pollinator Pathway and improve the wider habitat in Connecticut. \nWilton High School is the first high school in Connecticut as well as New England to become a member of the EcoType Project\, which is\, “a plant and place based approach to land stewardship and agrarian resilience in the Northeast.” To help support a new initiative\, the WHS Garden Club is teaming up with the CT Chapter of the Northeastern Organic Farmers Association (CT NOFA)\, the Wilton Conservation Land Trust and the Pollinator Pathway. WHS senior Brett Gilman has met with members of these groups to learn more about this project and to take action. Most recently\, he has led the entire Garden Club in growing wildflower seedlings and has organized a partnership with Planters Choice Nursery LLC of Newtown to hold a native pollinator plant sale this spring. \nThe goals of the project are to help educate people about the native wildflowers that grow in this area as well as get people interested in planting them to help improve the natural ecosystems in the state. The students will be holding a sale this spring so people can purchase some of these and plant them in their yard to help support the Pollinator Pathway here in Wilton as well as improve the habitat for native species of birds\, butterflies\, and bees. Additionally a portion of the sale of each plant purchased will go to help the Wilton High School Organic Garden Club\, which not only is working to actively improve the habitat in Wilton but also runs the school’s organic garden which produces food for the high school cafeteria. \nIn addition to the plant sale\, the students will be taking some of the extra plants and will be using them in the school’s own butterfly garden as well as planting some in areas of the town so that they can monitor their growth\, distribution\, and will also have access to some native seed stock\, which they can then harvest and grow for future years. This is going to allow the students of WHS to have an ongoing research opportunity and also a way to document and prove the positive things that happen when natives are planted. \nDonna Merrill\, executive director of the Wilton Land Conservation Trust and Pollinator Pathway co-founder\, says the Trust is thrilled to partner with the WHS Garden Club. \n“Providing landowners with the native plants that support our insects gives our entire town the chance to be part of the Pollinator Pathway. I find it so exciting to watch the students be the educators. By making the right plants available for our bees and butterflies they’re proving that what each of us do in our own backyards makes a difference.” \nThe position of CT NOFA is clear about the importance:  “Our Response:  We must restore native habitat to safeguard our food system. Our initiative exists at the intersection of farms\, gardens\, land trusts\, and public lands: we aim to increase the number of native plants growing in our region. To do this\, we are growing seed crops of Connecticut’s native pollinator plants\, wild collected from our open-spaces\, and bringing them to our nursery growers and homeowners so that we can produce the plants to restore native pollinator habitat.” \nTo learn more about the project\, visiting the WHS Garden Club website and order online.

SUMMARY:MOVIE SCREENING:  "Like" – The Impact of Social Media On Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:Join a coalition of child development and education organizations for a screening of LIKE\, a new IndieFlix original documentary film that explores the impact of social media on our lives. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Susan Bauerfeld\, PhD\, licensed clinical psychologist\, and Chris Parrott\, BPS\, chartered counseling psychologist–two popular speakers on the topic of managing the impact of digital devices and content. \nTechnology is a tool that’s here to stay and social media platforms are places to connect\, share and care. But what’s really happening? \nFifty-seven percent of all teens agree that using social media often distracts them when they should be doing homework. Twenty percent of teen drivers say they check notifications while driving\, at least sometimes. And 57% of teens say that if parents knew what happens on social media\, they’d be a lot more worried about it. \nSo\, are we addicted? How do we stop? Where do we start? What do we need to know? By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain\, on our lives and on our civilization\, we can learn how to navigate it more safely together. \nThe goal of the documentary film LIKE is “to inspire people of all ages\, especially kids\, to self-regulate. It’s not about blame. It’s about looking in the mirror and empowering ourselves to create balance in our lives and to learn to be there for each other.” \nPlease email Genevieve Eason with questions. \nSponsored By:  Fusion Academy Fairfield\, SPED*NET Wilton\, Wilton High School PTSA\, Wilton Public Schools and Wilton Youth Council

SUMMARY:Wilton Library/Historical Soc. Scholarly Series: Jazzed Up–The History of Jazz in America\, Reggie Quinerly Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In the 13th year of the collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series focuses on the theme of “Jazzed Up: The History of Jazz in America.” \nIn this lecture\, Reggie Quinerly addresses the factors\, influences and artistic offerings associated with the unique period in America’s history that was the Harlem Renaissance. \nDuring the 1920s\, the African-American enclave of Harlem was the epicenter of a deep cultural transformation. This movement acknowledged and utilized the artistic expression of many brilliant thinkers. The impact of this Renaissance was widespread and became the essential crucible from which a new generation emerged. \nQuinerly grew up in a rich musical environment in Houston and graduated from the Mannes School of Music at New School University where he got to study with three great drummers:  Jimmy Cobb\, Lewis Nash\, and Kenny Washington. After some time honing his chops on the scene\, he returned to school earning his Master’s in Jazz Studies at the prestigious Juilliard School. He has played with such leading artists as Wynton and Branford Marsalis\, Joe Lovano\, Chico and Von Freeman\, and Greg Osby. In 2017\, he fulfilled a life-long goal of returning to higher education\, this time as a Juilliard faculty member and in the summer of 2019\, he joined the faculty at Hunter College. He holds a Supervisors certification and Vice-Principal and Principal certifications in Education. He is a member of Percussive Arts Society and the New Jersey Education Association. \nThe moderator is Steve Hudspeth. \nThe series is sponsored by Charles Schwab & Co.\, Inc.; the media sponsor is The Wilton Bulletin. A reception will follow the talk. No charge but donations are always welcomed. Registration (online) is required for each lecture individually. The event is full with a waitlist. \n

SUMMARY:WHS Students Produce & Perform "26 Pebbles" Commemorating Sandy Hook Community–POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. WE WILL UPDATE AS SOON AS RESCHEDULING INFORMATION IN AVAILABLE. \nWilton High School Theater\, in collaboration with the Safe School Climate Committee\, brings a special performance of 26 Pebbles to the Little Theater stage on Thursday\, March 19. Student directed by WHS senior Jack Parrotta and overseen by WHS faculty member Kevin Slater\, 26 Pebbles honors the community and memories of Sandy Hook\, CT. \nActor and playwright Eric Ulloa traveled to Newtown\, CT to conduct interviews with over 60 members of the community five months following the tragedy in 2012. The text from these interviews became the content of 26 Pebbles. \nThe play provides a unique lens into the aftermath of a tragedy that shook the nation and shattered this nearby small town. The story follows the events that took place in Newtown during the months following the tragedy and the collective struggle of the town’s new reality. \n“I did my best to remind myself of the place artists inhabit in this world\, how we navigate a path where our talents can be employed not only to help individual healing but also initiate societal change\,” Ulloa said about the process of creating the play. \nUltimately\, 26 Pebbles serves as a reminder to the power of connection\, kindness and compassion in the wake of destruction. All proceeds from ticket sales to the Wilton High School performance will be donated to Sandy Hook Promise\, a non-profit organization founded and led by several family members whose loved ones were murdered on Dec. 14\, 2012\, that is committed to creating community programs that engage discussion and awareness of gun violence prevention. \n“26 Pebbles is about how we\, as a community and society\, react and respond to tragedy. It’s about the ripples caused by trauma and ultimately a story of hope\,”  says Jake Vitarelli\, one of the student performers\, about the production. \nCast and crew include Sarah Bates\, Lily Casiraghi\, Hunter Driscoll\, Jake Eagan\, Brielle Flavin\, Devin Moran\, Jack Parrotta\, Lauren Parrotta\, Sasha Sypher\, Jake Vitarelli\, Olivia Vitarelli and Eleanor Winrow. \nThe performance will be held on Thursday\, March 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Wilton High School Little Theater. Tickets are $10.

SUMMARY:Wilton Library’s Human Library–POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED \n“Don’t judge a book by its cover”—but in this case\, we mean human beings\, not books! Our human books are community members who have volunteered to share their stories in order to break down barriers based on appearance or identity (e.g.; age\, race\, sexual orientation\, religion\, ability\, lifestyle choices\, etc.). The Human Library is an international movement that started in Denmark in 2000 and is now held in more than 70 countries. Wilton Library is the first non-academic library in Connecticut to receive permission from the Human Library Organization to host an event. This is the time for open conversations between two people in a non-judgmental environment. Spend a few minutes with each “book.”  It is an opportunity for those who have faced prejudice to tell their story and show people who they really are; and it is a chance for others to change their preconceived notions based on a person’s appearance or identity. No advance registration; no fee. Come and enjoy the experience.

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery for Kids: Plimoth Plantation Chowder
DESCRIPTION:During the winter months\, a hearty soup or chowder was just what a Colonial girl or boy would have craved at meal time. This month\, children who attend the Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids program at the Wilton Historical Society will be making a creamy chowder. \n“The origins of the word ‘chowder’ are somewhat obscure\, but most authorities\, including the Dictionary of American Regional English\, believes it derives from the French word for a large caldron\, chaudiere\, in which Breton sailors threw their catch to make a communal stew…” writes John F. Mariani in the Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink. “Chowder was a staple dish of New Englanders…By the end of the century certain New England regions became known for their various interpretations of chowder–one might find cream in one spot\, lobsters in others\, no potatoes elsewhere–but most were by then a creamy white soup brimming with chopped fish or clams\, crackers\, and butter…” \nMuseum educator Katherine Karlik will be teaching the class about various kinds of chowders and how to prepare a creamy-style New England version. \nEvery month\, the Colonial Cookery for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids in grades 4-8 a Colonial “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. \nThe workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients. The recipes used are adapted for modern kitchens–done for safety reasons\, and also so that the attendees can recreate their meals at home. The children will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards–as well as any leftovers! \nParticipants will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, dressed macaroni and cheese\, gingerbread cakes\, maple syrup tart\, quick pickling\, Johnny cakes\, and applesauce cake. \nThe program is suggested for children ages 6-12. The cost for members is $10; non-members are $15. Space is limited—lease register by email or call 203.762.7257. \n
