SUMMARY:Emancipation and Freedom: People of African Descent and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The historical importance of the American War of Independence for Black Americans is unquestionable. The number of Black men who served in the military during this war is between 5\,000 and 10\,000. But how do we remember and memorialize Black Patriots and history makers from that era? What lenses do we look through to see them? What narrative structure do we use to talk about the past they experienced? What parameters do we use for framing that narrative? And how does it relate to the more well-known narrative? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this virtual presentation by Dr. Robert Bellinger from the Wilton Historical Society. \nBellinger is a public historian with a Ph.D. in history from Boston College. As the proprietor of Righting Histories\, Bellinger engages in projects that involve research and interpretation of African American history\, local histories and historic sites. \nBellinger has been engaged as a researcher\, advisor or consultant on several public history projects including the National Park Service project “The Experience of Africans During the American Revolution;” the development of a Black History Trail in Concord\, MA; “Harvesting Heritage\,” an upcoming exhibit at South Carolina State Museum; and “Conversations of Freedom\,” the 250th anniversary exhibit at Middleton Place\, Charleston\, SC. \nIn 2021 Bellinger founded the African Seed Exchange (ASÉ) which documents the introduction of African food crops into North America by Africans and African Americans in South Carolina from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Currently Bellinger is completing a manuscript on the history of the Black residents of Lexington\, MA\, 1690-1820. Working with the Lexington History Museums this text will help expand the interpretation of the history of this Massachusetts community. \nBellinger serves on the boards of the Robbins House\, the Shirley-Eustis House\, Rediscover Mapledale\, the Slave Legacy History Coalition\, Lexington History Museums\, and Middleton Place in Charleston\, SC. Bellinger is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts\, and the African America Historical and Genealogical Society. \nThe talk will be held virtually on Thursday\, Sept. 10\, at 7 p.m. \nThe event is free for Historical Society members. For non-members\, there is a $10 fee.

SUMMARY:“Last Meeting in Millbrook” – An Immersive Historical Vampire Tale
DESCRIPTION:The Wilton Historical Society is thrilled to be partnering with\nEscapism Productions for an upcoming immersive historical theatre experience! \nConnecticut\, 1793: A wasting sickness has descended upon the parish of Millbrook\, carrying off entire households and leaving several of the community’s governing offices vacant. With several civic leaders among the dead\, the remaining inhabitants have been summoned to the meetinghouse to account for the spread of the illness\, and determine who can be trusted to restore order. \nFear has already taken root. Neighbors whisper that the deaths are no ordinary work of consumption. Strange marks have been discovered upon the bodies. The newly buried do not seem to rest easily. Some claim that something moves between the sickrooms after nightfall\, feeding upon the living while hiding behind a familiar face. \nAs more evidence is gathered and old suspicions rise to the surface\, another death strikes before the assembled parish. Someone in Millbrook knows more than they confess. \nBefore the meeting can end\, the inhabitants must uncover what is consuming their community and determine whether the evil they seek lies beneath the earth or stands among them. \nThis immersive production is performed at the Wilton Historical Society. This experience allows guests to explore the Society’s historic Sloan-Raymond-Fitch House\, interacting directly with the characters to uncover secrets\, expose evidence\, and influence the ending. \nPerformance Dates and Times \n\nFriday\, Oct. 2\, 7-8:30 p.m.\nSaturday\, Oct. 3\, 8-9:30 p.m.\nSunday\, Oct. 4\, 4-5:30 p.m.\nSunday\, Oct. 4\, 7-8:30 p.m.\n\nBe sure to bundle your tickets with the Society’s popular Colonial Tavern Night on Oct. 4. \nTickets are $50 for Wilton Historical Society members\, and $60 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Colonial Tavern Night
DESCRIPTION:Colonial Tavern Night returns to the Wilton Historical Society on Saturday\, Oct. 3. Join us for an evening of great food\, drinks\, games\, and trivia! \nTaverns and inns were an integral part of 18th century Wilton\, serving as restaurants\, bars\, rest stops for weary travelers and community centers.

On Oct. 3\, from 6-8:30 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will party like it’s 1779 by hosting its own one night only tavern at the museum! \nAttendees can participate in that evening’s history pub trivia contest! \nTicket includes open bar with food courtesy of Jeff’s BBQ. This event is for adults 21+. Tickets are $60 for Wilton Historical Society members and $75 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Iconoclasm in Wilton: The Revolutionary-era Statue of King George III
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wilton Historical Society on Wednesday\, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. for a presentation by University of Delaware professor Wendy Bellion that will explore the 1776 tearing down of the King George statue and Wilton’s direct role in the historic events that followed. \nOn the night of July 9\, 1776\, a crowd emboldened by a public reading of the Declaration of Independence pulled a huge equestrian statue of George III from its pedestal at Bowling Green in lower Manhattan. A British officer conveyed the decapitated head to London\, intending to demonstrate the patriots’ defiance\, and soldiers transported the remaining fragments via Wilton to Litchfield\, where the statue was melted down and recast as ammunition for Continental soldiers. En route\, loyalists in Wilton absconded with pieces of the statue\, concealing them in fields\, swamps and cellars. This talk revisits this dramatic episode of the American Revolution and explores its lesser-known afterlife in the 19th- and 20th century\, when the fragments re-emerged as historical relics and re-enactors recreated the lost statue — only to destroy it all over again. \nBellion is Professor of Art History and Sewell C. Biggs Chair in American Art at the University of Delaware. Her scholarship focuses on the art and material culture of the 18th- and 19th-century Atlantic world and the early modern Americas. Her most recent publications include the books Iconoclasm in New York: Revolution to Reenactment (2019); Citizen Spectator: Art\, Illusion and Visual Perception in Early National America (2011)\, which was awarded the Smithsonian Institution’s Eldredge Prize; and the co-edited volume Material Cultures of the Global Eighteenth Century: Art\, Mobility\, and Change (2023). Her current research explores the women of the family of artist Charles Willson Peale. \nThe event is free for Historical Society members and $10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:The Enduring Legend of The Leatherman
DESCRIPTION:Of all the legendary figures who have come through Connecticut\, few have had the staying power or notoriety that The Leatherman has achieved. \nFor six years during the late 1800s\,this so-called “vagabond” hiked the same\, 364-mile\, circuitous route every 34 days like clockwork. Residents could predict when he would return to their town. Wearing a self-made suit of leather\, from head to toe\, he conversed with no one and slept in caves. We still don’t know who he was\, but people loved him. \nHear about The Leatherman from noted Connecticut podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen on Thursday evening\, Oct. 15\, at the Wilton Historical Society. Allen specializes in bringing history to life\, through his background in journalism\, radio broadcasting\, podcasting and public speaking. He hosted the podcast\, “Amazing Tales About History\,” for four years\, producing more than 200 episodes on Connecticut history. For 10 years\, Allen was news director at Connecticut radio station I-95 before becoming press secretary to the mayor of Danbury. During a subsequent\, 25-year corporate career\, he worked and lived internationally\, specializing in marketing. Allen has lived in Connecticut for more than 50 years and currently resides in Danbury. \nThe talk will be held on Thursday\, Oct. 15\, at 7 p.m. at the Wilton Historical Society (224 Danbury Rd.). The event is free for Historical Society members\, and $10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:300th Anniversary Community Celebration
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited! Celebrate 300 Years of Wilton! \nAs Wilton’s 300th Anniversary year draws to a close\, we invite you to join Wilton Congregational Church for a special community celebration where it all began! \nIn 1726\, families living in the areas known as Kent\, Belden’s Hill and Chestnut Hill petitioned for permission to establish their own parish and church. That historic moment laid the foundation for the community that would become the town of Wilton. Three hundred years later\, we celebrate not only the founding of our church\, but the beginnings of the town we all call home. \nOn Sunday\, Nov. 22\, from 4-6 p.m.\, join friends and neighbors from across Wilton for a festive afternoon celebrating our shared history and the community that has grown from those early beginnings. \nEnjoy hors d’oeuvres\, drinks and conversation while exploring one of Wilton’s most treasured historic landmarks. Wilton Historical Society Director Nick Foster will lead guided tours of our beautiful sanctuary\, the oldest in Fairfield County still in continuous use\, sharing stories of the people and events that shaped our town. \nFamilies are especially welcome! Children’s activities and childcare will be available\, and football fans can catch the NFL game in the Upper Meeting Room. \nThis is a celebration for the entire Wilton community! Whether you have lived here for generations or are new to town\, we hope you’ll join us as we honor 300 years of history\, friendship and community and look ahead to the next 300 years! \nAll are welcome. We look forward to celebrating with you!
