SUMMARY:Exhibit: The Laurent Clerc Papers of Wilton
DESCRIPTION:Please drop in at Wilton Library between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to view the Wilton Laurent Clerc Papers exhibit which was featured recently at the Wilton Historical Society (WHS). You’ll also be able to meet and interact with Wilton High School ASL (American Sign Language) students and learn about the Laurent Clerc Stamp Project. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation will be available throughout the exhibit and program (6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) \nFrom the WHS exhibit: Laurent Clerc was a French immigrant and deaf man born in the late 18th century\, a time when opportunities for education for the deaf were limited. He overcame those obstacles and ultimately co-founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford\, Connecticut in 1817\, which opened new possibilities for the deaf community. This remains the oldest active school for deaf students in the United States. Francis Clerc Ogden carried on this tradition of selflessness a century later\, becoming one of the town’s most well-known residents thanks to his service efforts and involvement in countless community organizations. In 1938\, he became one of the first members of the Wilton Historical Society\, created in order to preserve the town’s past and share its history with the public. Laurent Clerc and his great-grandson Francis Clerc Ogden share more than just a name. Though Francis was born 19 years after Laurent’s death in 1869\, their respective lifes’ work demonstrates a family tradition of service passed down between generations. \nRegistration not required for this exhibit. For more information\, please email Andrea Sato.

SUMMARY:Exhibitions Reception at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, May 19\, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold a reception to celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions. \nCommitment to Community: The Lives of Laurent Clerc and Francis Clerc Ogden is developed in partnership with the American School for the Deaf\, and explores the lives of two men\, Laurent Clerc and his great-grandson Francis Clerc Ogden. Clerc\, a co-founder of the American School for the Deaf\, spent his life working to make education accessible for deaf students\, including recruiting other trailblazing educators developing sign language. Ogden\, a Wilton resident for nearly 70 years\, was involved in countless town organizations and projects\, including helping to found the Wilton Historical Society. This exhibit will examine the work both men did in service to others and the fortuitous circumstances that brought two organizations together. \nThe Town Book: E. Boyd Smith’s 20th Century Wilton takes a deeper look at Wilton during the early 20th century\, a time of radical transformation for the town\, through the work of a resident who witnessed it firsthand\, E. Boyd Smith. Smith was a children’s book author and illustrator\, and along with his wife Mary\, was an active member of the community. Smith’s illustrations were directly inspired by the scenes he saw as he traveled around Wilton\, often including landmarks familiar to his fellow residents. His books capture a lifestyle that was rapidly disappearing and made it accessible to young readers. The exhibition will display Smith’s art alongside objects from the museum’s collection to offer different perspectives on Wilton’s evolution during the first half of the 1900’s. Funding for this exhibition was provided by Connecticut Humanities. \nThe reception is open to the public at no charge.

SUMMARY:Lives and Landscapes: Art from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:From the town’s beginnings in the early 18th century\, work depicting the people and landscapes of Wilton have reflected the ever-changing artistic tides of subject matter\, materials and styles of the next three centuries. The new exhibition\, Lives and Landscapes: Art from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society\, opening on June 10\, explores highlights of the art collection from the colonial era to the 1970s. Throughout that time\, Wilton has served as inspiration for a wide variety of creators. Whether simply passing through or ensconced as a long-time resident\, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression or fulfilling commercial contracts\, Wilton’s artists produced a diverse body of work. The exhibition runs through October 29. \nMembers of Wilton’s colonial first families\, such as the Lamberts\, Beldens\, and Grummans\, commissioned portraits to help display their wealth and power. The two works on display by itinerant painter Ralph Earl were prized – Earl’s patron’s included founding father Roger Sherman – as were the portraits produced by Gilbert Stuart Newton\, nephew of the renowned Gilbert Stuart. Gilbert Stuart is best known for his iconic images of George Washington. \nOver time\, landscapes rose in popularity. Wilton’s sparsely populated countryside of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries provided beautiful scenery to be captured on canvas and a quiet place to work undisturbed\, while Wilton’s proximity to the cultural hub of New York City ensured a large audience was easily accessible. Artists working in the new Impressionist style\, seeking vistas to be painted “en plein air” populated the area – one of the leaders being J. Alden Weir and his “great good place” Weir Farm. Others like H.G Thomson followed soon after. In the early to mid- 20th century\, a new group of artists emerged. Many congregated in the Silvermine area enjoying both the setting and the proximity to the city. Works produced in Wilton could quickly be placed in any of New York’s numerous museums and galleries. \nTown landmarks\, such as the 1790 Wilton Congregational Church painted in an impressionistic style “en plein air” by Robert Emmett Owen and the 1726 Lambert House by H.G. Thompson\, are beautifully depicted. Other artists represented in the exhibition include Richard Daggy\, sculptor A. Phimister Proctor\, and Hillary Longmuir. \nLives and Landscapes explores Wilton’s artistic legacy through a selection of rarely seen work from Wilton Historical’s permanent collection. These works capture something of the personality of the town through the faces and places depicted. They tell the stories of not only the subject matter of the piece\, but the story of a town. \nWilton Historical Members: Free; Non-members $10

SUMMARY:"Fire and Ice" Ice Cream Social at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 1 from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm the Wilton Historical Society Museum Complex will be buzzing with a fun event perfect for kids\, families\, and new residents. The “Fire and Ice” Ice Cream Social is a great way to get into the Fourth of July spirit. \nDocents in Colonial attire will demonstrate all manner of Colonial activities\, from firing Revolutionary War-style muskets to spinning and blacksmithing. Kids can try their hands at spoke shaving\, weaving\, and flax-breaking. Enjoy the ice cream social courtesy of the Drum Hill Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution and Captain David Hawley Betts Society Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.). Learn about the Verbruggen Cannon\, an exact reproduction of a 1776 artillery also known as a “Grasshopper” and find out how it was loaded and fired. \nThe Wilton Historical Society will also debut a new exhibition: “Rebels and Redcoats: The Aftermath of the Battle of Ridgefield”. The highlight is an extraordinary Revolutionary War document\, a letter dated April 26\, 1777\, between General Selleck Silliman and Major General David Wooster\, which may be the last letter sent by General Wooster before he was killed the next day at the Battle of Ridgefield. The exhibition will be accompanied by a new “History is Here” video by Associate Curator Nick Foster. \nDrum Hill Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will hold a patriot look-up session at the ice cream social. Experienced genealogists will be on hand to help you discover your patriotic roots. You may have an ancestor who assisted in the Revolutionary War.

SUMMARY:Rebels and Redcoats: The Aftermath of the Battle of Ridgefield Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In April 1777\, war came to Wilton. After burning part of Danbury and destroying Continental Army supplies\, British troops under General William Tryon marched through Wilton on their way back to Westport and their fleet. With a sudden alarm sent throughout Connecticut warning of a British invasion\, many hastily assembled soldiers fought to repel the enemy from their homes. Now open\, the Wilton Historical Society presents “Rebels and Redcoats: The Aftermath of the Battle of Ridgefield”\, an exhibition which explores the actions of British\, Patriots\, and civilians involved in the Revolutionary War action known as the Raid on Danbury\, with a particular focus on the march of British troops south down Ridgefield Road through Wilton. \nWilton resident John Reznikoff\, a historic document expert\, has loaned the highlight of the exhibition – an extraordinary piece of correspondence between Patriot Generals David Wooster and Selleck Silliman. The rare 1777 document\, which may be the last one sent by General Wooster before he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Ridgefield the following day\, is displayed along with other historic artifacts and documents from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society. The exhibition extends through October 30.
