SUMMARY:How Revolutionary: Fairfield County and the War for Independence Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Creating the United States of America was a radical act. The American Revolution\, from 1776 to today\, serves as a symbol of bold political action and the creation of a government based on new\, enlightened ideas. But was it truly revolutionary? The new country that emerged after the War for Independence did separate itself from a European monarchy\, but society in many ways looked much the same before\, during\, and after the United States was established. \nIn this lecture\, Wilton Historical Society Director Nick Foster uses archival evidence related to Fairfield County’s role in the Revolution to explore how radical America’s fight for independence truly was. Wilton\, like many surrounding communities\, experienced conflict between Patriots and Loyalists\, the harsh realities of war\, and difficult decisions about self-governance. The responses to these challenges present a more nuanced idea of “revolution”. \nThe lecture will be held at the Wilton Historical Society from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday\, Apr. 24. \nRegistration online is required. Admission is $10 per person for non-members\, free for Wilton Historical Society members. \n

SUMMARY:Victorian "Get Ready With Me": A 19th Century Fashion Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Modern fashion influencers invite viewers to “get ready with me” — an opportunity for an inside look at their wardrobe choices and styling for days at the office\, Sunday brunch\, dinner dates and more. While no social media existed in the late 19th century\, people considered a balance of form\, function and social expectations when putting together an outfit. \nOn Saturday\, Apr. 19\, at 2 p.m.\, join the Wilton Historical Society for a lecture from historical costume designer and fashion historian Jessica Bolduc as they discuss what it took for someone in the Victorian era to get dressed and ready for the day. The lecture will cover the evolving nature of fashion throughout the second half of the 1800s using examples from the Wilton Historical Society’s museum collection as well as recreations from Bolduc. \nFunding for this program is provided by the Elizabeth Raymond Ambler Trust. \nThe lecture will be held at the Wilton Historical Society. Registration is required\, and the cost to attend is $10 per person for non-members and free for Wilton Historical Society Members.

SUMMARY:Off the Plank: Pirate History in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Join WSHU reporter Davis Dunavin in the Brubeck Room at Wilton Library for exciting tales about Pirate History in the Northeast. Famous pirates like Captain Kidd and Black Sam Bellamy sailed through the waters around New York and New England\, having unusual adventures and meeting surprising (and occasionally grisly) fates. Dunavin traveled in their footsteps last year\, exploring pirate history for the podcast Off the Path. He’ll share stories of sunken treasure\, dramatic battles and more! Dunavin loves telling stories\, whether on the radio or around the campfire. An Edward R. Murrow Award-winning and Peabody Award-nominated journalist\, he is the host of WSHU’s Off the Path and created and hosted the 2022 series Still Newtown. He also teaches classes in media studies at Sacred Heart University. He started in Missouri and ended up in Connecticut\, which\, he’d like to point out\, is the same geographic trajectory taken by Mark Twain. Registration is suggested on the Wilton Library website.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Victorian Tea Service
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wilton Historical Society for an afternoon filled with delicious teas\, delectable bites\, gorgeous flowers and memories created with loved ones! \nThe classic Afternoon Tea is a tradition born around 1840 when members of the British aristocracy felt the need to fill the long gap between the lunch and dinner menus. Consequently\, afternoon tea accompanied by a delicate snack became a staple and symbol of both the Victorian period and the wealth of the British Empire. As the popularity of the service grew\, certain utensils\, menus\, and etiquette developed along with it. \nThe Wilton Historical Society is excited to present their very own Victorian Tea Service on May 11 from 1 – 3 p.m.. Guests will enjoy a beautifully decorated tent in the courtyard of the Society’s campus. Also find all of the classically magnificent details expected from a 19th century tea service. A Dash of Salt will provide delicious teas and bites alongside a presentation on the History of Tea with an expert from Bigelow Tea. \nWildbloom Skincare and Bigelow Tea generously sponsor this event. \nWild Roses and Blooms generously provide the flowers and arrangements. \nTickets are $60 per person for Wilton Historical Society Members; $75 per person for Non-Members. Registration is required. \nVisit online or email to reserve a spot today! \nTake Note: This event is seated\, if you would like to sit with another party\, specify in the notes section upon registration.

DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for a fascinating Wilton Reads presentation\, “Making the Dirt Fly: Building the Panama Canal\,” on May 1\, when Eric Ward from the Linda Hall Library of Science\, Engineering & Technology\, will discuss the massive construction project of excavating 238\,845\,587 cubic yards of material\, damning the Chagres River\, dealing with devastating landslides\, and building six massive two-channel locks. He will also explore current issues facing the Canal due to changing climate. \nDesignated as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Modern World and a Monument of the Millennium” by the American Society of Civil Engineers\, the Panama Canal\, which opened on August 15\, 1914\, shortened the distance for ocean-going freight and passengers traveling between the U.S. east and west coasts by over 8\,000 miles. \nWard is Vice President for Public Programs at the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where he has curated exhibitions on topics ranging from the science of CSI and natural disasters to a history of bird field guides\, the Panama Canal\, and the science of Project Apollo. Ward’s exhibition on the Panama Canal\, titled The Land Divided\, The World United\, featured material from the Library’s A.B. Nichols Collection. Nichols\, Office Engineer during the Canal’s construction\, amassed a collection of photographs\, blueprints and schematics\, maps\, letters\, drawings\, and other items throughout his 10-year tenure at the Canal. \nWard will conduct his presentation via Zoom from his library office in Kansas City\, Missouri. In-person attendees will watch the presentation together in the Brubeck Room; however\, Zooming from home is another option. \nRegistration is required. Register online or call 203.762.6334.
