SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Silversmithing Workshop for Kids:  Making a Necklace
DESCRIPTION:In colonial times\, silversmiths made many essential small items\, such as buttons\, shoe buckles and spoons\, and repaired silver items for wealthy and middle-class citizens. But they also made elegant larger pieces\, such as coffee and tea pots\, candle sticks\, trays and pitchers. According to the historians at Colonial Williamsburg \,“The 18th-century silversmith was thought of as someone akin to a sculptor. Both had to know how to shape their materials with artistic talent\, taste\, and design. A contemporary observed that the silversmith was ’employed in making all manner of utensils . . . either for Ornament or Use. His work is either performed in the Mould\, or beat into Figure by the Hammer.’” \nAt this workshop for kids\, museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about how it was done\, and about a very famous silversmith\, Paul Revere. For a workshop project\, the kids will make a piece of “silver” jewelry (a pendant on a silk cord) of hammered solder\, to keep – or perhaps to give as a Valentine’s surprise. Snack of tea sandwiches. \nSuggested for children aged 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child\, with a maximum of $25 per family; non-member fee is $15 per child\, with a maximum of $35 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Paul Revere was a versatile craftsman. He eagerly met the needs of his customers\, not hesitating to create new forms or adopt the latest styles. His shop made a great variety of items\, at least 90 different types. His products included flatware\, mostly spoons; table wares such as cups\, tankards\, porringers\, salts\, casters\, trays\, and bowls; tea and coffee equipment such as coffee and teapots\, creamers\, sugar tongs and sugar urns; personal items such as gold jewelry and buttons\, and silver buckles; and metal harness fittings\, among other things. His most unusual pieces were made before the Revolution\, when he crafted a chain for a pet squirrel\, an ostrich egg snuffbox\, and a child’s whistle. He also made brass gunner’s calipers for two British officers\, silver letters for the back of a chaise\, surgical instruments\, and a sword hilt. Revere did not work in pewter.” – Paul Revere House website

SUMMARY:Kids! Make Your Own Valentine’s Day Chocolates!
DESCRIPTION:The Wilton Historical Society is again offering the very popular chocolate-making workshop for kids in grades K-8. Program participants will make something extra nice for their Valentine – delicious\, professional-looking chocolates and a decorated box to put them in! The fun and easy one-hour session will make use of an extensive collection of small\, charming chocolate molds. Hearts\, flowers\, a multitude of animals\, stars and even tools are just some of the shapes that will be on hand. \nRegistration is required and space is limited. Please register by email or call 203.762.7257 to reserve your place. Members:  $10 per child\, maximum $25 per family; non-members:  $15 per child\, maximum $35 per family. \nParents are welcome to stay. \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 Weaving Workshop for Kids:  Making a Potholder
DESCRIPTION:According to the historians at Colonial Williamsburg\, “Then as now\, Americans required fabrics for clothes\, towels\, sheets\, blankets\, sails\, and dozens of other items made of wool\, cotton\, silk\, linen\, and hemp and bought them from textile manufacturers. Until the Revolution\, British goods poured into the American market\, and most people wore clothes made of English textiles. English or American\, weavers typically learned their trade through apprenticeship\, which focused mostly on operating a loom. Weavers had to know how to prepare the loom and how to run and to maintain it. During the Revolution\, when Americans could not get English goods\, weaving became a necessity and a patriotic duty.” \nWeaving will be explored at this workshop for kids. Museum educator Laurie Walker will show the kids the “loom room” in the 1740 Betts House\, and explain weaving with flax and wool. For a workshop project\, the kids will make a woven pot-holder\, and enjoy a snack of lattice-pattern sugar cookies. \nThe workshop is suggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; cost for non-members is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nFrom the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:  “A single woman who is old enough to be married but isn’t—and isn’t likely to get married—is sometimes called a spinster. The word has an old-fashioned and dated feel to it\, and because of that it can carry a whiff of impoliteness in certain circumstances. But in previous centuries\, spinster was a valuable word that didn’t carry any such connotation. During the late Middle Ages\, married tradeswomen had an easier time obtaining higher-status\, higher-income work than their unmarried peers. Unmarried women ended up with lower-status\, lower-income jobs like combing\, carding\, and spinning wool—hence ‘spinster.’ \n“When spinster first entered English in the mid-1300s\, it referred to a woman who spun thread and yarn. . . . Two historical facts led to spinster’s evolution: the fact that most spinners in the Middle Ages were women\, and the fact that it was common in legal documents to use one’s occupation as a sort of surname (which is why we have Smiths and Bakers and Tanners and so on). Women who spun yarn or thread were given the title Spinster in legal documents . . . By the 17th century\, spinster was being used in legal documents to refer to unmarried women.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society's Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids:  Maple Tart
DESCRIPTION:During colonial times in New England\, winter had two “crops” – ice and maple syrup. Ice was harvested from ponds to stock the ice house for summer heat. Sap begins to flow in maple trees\, ready to be collected and boiled down to the sweet syrup that is as popular today as it was long ago. \nAt this Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids Workshop\, museum educator Laurie Walker will discuss how maple syrup is made\, and will show the children how to use maple syrup to make a simple but delicious Colonial Maple Tart. \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! \nThe 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\,” 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\, and gingerbread cakes. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nCost for members is $10/child with a maximum of $25/family; for non-members cost is $15/child\, with a maximum of $35/family. Space is limited—please register by email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“In the late 1700s and early 1800s\, maple sap was produced into maple sugar\, a granular\, solid block of maple that had a long shelf-life and could be easily transported. Maple sugar was promoted by the Quakers and abolitionists as an alternative to West Indian “slave-produced” cane sugar; Thomas Jefferson even started a maple plantation at Monticello in 1791. \nIt wasn’t until the Civil War that the maple syrup industry was born\, with the introduction of the tin can and the invention of metal spouts and evaporator pans. Most early producers were dairy farmers who made maple syrup and sugar during the off-season of the farm for their own use and for extra income.” – New England Maple Museum in Pittsford\, Vermont

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Buzz Saws\, Jacks and Tops Workshop for Kids:  Making a Cup and Ball Game
DESCRIPTION:What could be more fun than toys? While today’s kids tend to dive into screens for a diversion\, some simple toys are as much fun today as they were 200 years ago. Children in colonial times spent a lot of time working\, and were eager to partake of outdoor activities\, using little more than their imaginations and handmade toys and games. \nMade with readily available materials\, buzz saws\, jacks\, cup & ball\, tops and other such toys will be the topic at this Saturday\, March 2 workshop for kids at the Wilton Historical Society from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.. Museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about how toys were made\, and have everyone learn how to play jacks and Shut the Box. \nFor a workshop project\, the kids will make buzz saws and cup & ball to bring home. Hand pies are the snack and the children will help make them. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, with a maximum of $25/family; the cost for non-members is $15/child\, with a maximum of $35/family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \n

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Stenciling Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:According to Early American stenciling expert Suzanne Korn\, “The history of decorative arts in America includes a colorful chapter between the years of 1778 and 1840\, when itinerant wall stencilers roamed New England country roads\, painting their colorful folk art in homes\, inns\, and taverns along the way.” \nWilton Historical Society museum educator Laurie Walker will discuss the simple\, colorful folk art\, and how and where it appeared\, and will show participants a stenciled oil-cloth rug in the Fitch house dining room as an example. The workshop project is a painted and stenciled wooden picture frame. The children will help make their own snack of applesauce. \nThe workshop is suggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, with a maximum of $25/family; the cost for non-members is $15/child\, with a maximum of $35/family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“The itinerant stenciler would live with the family during the time that he was beautifying their home. Often\, his only payment for stenciling the walls in a home would be his food\, drink and lodging. We know that some of the early stencilers were farmers by trade\, so they would practice their craft during the winter months. Consequently\, they often toiled and traveled under harsh conditions. Even when the stenciler secured work\, and was safely off the cold\, snowy roads\, it was not unlikely that many of the rooms he was employed to decorate had no heat! However\, when his job was done\, and it was time to move on to the next town\, the lively and colorful folk art that he would leave behind would brighten and warm even the coldest of rooms with a cheerful and homespun glow! Beautiful flower baskets\, graceful willow trees\, wildflower sprays and simple vines plump with berries would adorn the walls in a wash of color. The lives of rural New Englanders were enhanced by this simple and quaint decoration\, and the dark interiors and plain plastered walls of their homes were made bright with the hope and promise of spring.”   –– Suzanne Korn\, Early American stenciling expert

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Felting Workshop for Kids:  Making Felted Soap
DESCRIPTION:One of the world’s oldest textiles\, felt is created from wool or other animal fibers that are densely matted together. It is ideal for protecting against cold and insulating against heat\, thus it has long been used for hats\, mittens\, blankets\, rugs\, yurts\, boots and clothing. At this Wilton Historical Society workshop\, museum educator Laurie Walker will discuss the origins of felting\, and lead the children in making felted soap. The kids will help make their own snack\, chocolate covered pretzels. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, with a maximum of $25/family; non-member cost is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nMaking felted hats\, Danbury was known as “Hat City” . . . and hatters suffered “Danbury Shakes” \nAccording to ConnecticutHistory.org\, a program of CT Humanities: \n“The origins of Danbury’s hat-making industry date back to the late 18th century. It was then that Zadoc Benedict\, having stumbled upon a way to make felt by adding heat\, moisture\, and pressure to animal pelts\, began using his bedpost to mold felt into hats. He then hired a journeyman and two hat-making apprentices and started producing three hats per day. Danbury proved an ideal location for hat making thanks to its abundant populations of beavers and rabbits for pelts and thickly wooded forests for firewood. . . . In the early 1800s\, Danbury produced mostly unfinished hats. Hatters softened and dyed the felt through an 18- to 20-hour boiling process\, and molded the pieces into their proper shape. They then rolled the hats up by twos into paper and placed them in a linen bag\, and from there\, into a leather sack for shipment to New York by coach. Once in New York\, craftsmen trimmed and finished the hats.”  \nThe expression “as mad as a hatter” is believed to have its origins in the deleterious effects of mercury nitrate exposure on workers in hat factories. During the mid-19th century\, the term “hatter’s shakes” became commonplace in the United States and Europe. It referred to the tremors experienced by workers whose prolonged exposure to the toxic mercury used in making headwear had devastating effects. In Connecticut\, the physical condition was termed the “Danbury Shakes.”

That year\, John Marvin gave 64 square rods (4/10 of an acre) to the “Presbyterian or Congregational Society of Wilton” as the site of a meeting house for the worship of God\, as the Society had outgrown the small building in which they had started 12 years earlier. The cemetery was to surround the new meeting house. Although the church building which was built there only lasted until 1790\, the cemetery was used actively until the mid-1800s and then was gradually replaced by Hillside Cemetery on Ridgefield Road\, which had the advantage of more space.”

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society This Month: Corn! From Muffins to Johnny Cakes
DESCRIPTION:According to A Taste of History by Joyce White\, “The native American grain corn\, also known as maize or Indian Corn\, has been consumed by Americans (and subsequently people all over the world) since the time of discovery of the New World\, and\, of course\, for centuries before that by the indigenous populations of all of the Americas. Cornbread is a great recipe to track through the past few centuries because it was so prolific a crop in America that it was consumed across class\, race\, and regional lines. Corn lends itself to change very easily and therefore variations of cornbread recipes through time\, in regards to types of ingredients and technological advances\, have enabled it to keep its important place in American cuisine.” \nAt the March 30 Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society\, museum educator Laurie Walker will be discussing the importance of corn in Colonial times\, and will teach the kids to make three easy\, yummy recipes that use cornmeal:  Narragansett Strawberry Cornbread\, Johnny Cakes with maple syrup and applesauce\, and a cornbread recipe dating from 1796. Participants also will get to sample a freshly baked Tasty Indian Pudding\, made according to another recipe from Colonial times. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop 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\,” 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 and maple syrup tart. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nThe cost for members is $10; non-members are $15. Space is limited—please register by email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to Wilton historian Bob Russell’s book\, Wilton\, Connecticut: Three Centuries of People\, Places and Progress\, Benjamin Hickox\, an early settler of Wilton\, “built the first and longest-lasting mill in Wilton\, a grist mill at the falls of the Falls Branch\, now Comstock Brook\, behind the present day Congregational Church.” Every small town needed a mill\, and mills needed millstones. Those impressively large millstones\, which are still a common sight in Wilton\, came from local quarries. Quarry Head State Park in north Wilton\, off Ridgefield Road\, is a former quarry which produced granite blocks of varying sizes. Nearby Millstone Road speaks to one such use of the local granite. \nMost of the mills have long since vanished. With rocks grinding against each other at 110 revolutions per minute (that’s twice a second)\, many caught fire and burned. Some mills were washed down stream in flood waters\, or have been demolished to make way for newer structures.
