SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:This Month:  Cranberry Tarts \nColonial Americans found native cranberries similar in flavor to the lingonberries with which they had been familiar in Europe\, although they quickly learned that the cranberry required quite a bit of sweetening. In the 18th century\, cranberries were most often preserved or stewed to sweeten them for use in pies. In keeping with the season\, on Saturday\, Nov. 24 from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. the Wilton Historical Society will be holding a Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids\, in which the museum educator will be showing the children how to make a cranberry 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! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. \nPrevious 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\, and dressed macaroni and cheese. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nMembers: $10; non-members $15. Space is limited–please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Cranberries were known by a variety of names\, including bounce berry\, marsh-wort\, fen-wort\, moss-berry\, and fenberry. A few different explanations for the name cranberry exist. The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink states that the word is derived from the Dutch word kranbeer\, while An A to Z of Food and Drink claims the term is German and relates to the long\, beak-like stamens of the plant. The Oxford Companion to Food only notes the “dubious” theory that the name comes from the cranes that like to eat the fruit.” – Kitchen Historic \nAccording to Colonial Williamsburg\, “Ships embarking from New England ports carried cranberries to prevent scurvy\, just as ships leaving tropical ports carried limes. Happily\, for the sailors\, fresh cranberries come naturally coated with a waxy substance that acts as a preservative\, keeping them fresh for weeks—some say up to five months.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society's Ornaments and Tree Traditions Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Today\, evergreen trees decked out in a colorful array of ornaments\, garlands\, shiny glass balls\, all topped by a star\, are a universal sign of the Christmas holiday\, along with cards\, wrapped gifts\, wreaths\, and Santa. According to Emma Powers of Colonial Williamsburg\, “Most of the ways Americans celebrate the midwinter holiday came about in the 19th century… Decorations consisted of whatever natural materials looked attractive at the bleakest time of year–evergreens\, berries\, forced blossoms–and the necessary candles and fires… As for the tree\, it is German in origin. ‘Tannenbaum’ gained acceptance in England and the United States only very slowly. The first written reference to a Christmas tree dates from the 17th century when a candle-lighted tree astonished residents of Strasbourg. I have found nothing recorded in the 18th century about holiday trees in Europe or North America.” \nMuseum educator Laurie Walker will discuss tree traditions and the history of ornaments. A penny rug inspired felt ornament is the workshop project. Snack of pretzels dipped in white chocolate. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Wilton Historical Society members cost is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; non-members cost is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to Little House Home Arts\, “Originally penny rugs were made from scraps of dark wool fabric or felt from used clothes and hats and were used as mats to clear mud and dirt off shoes. They were named penny rugs as they were made of three different sized circular medallions layered on top of each other. The top medallion was the size of a penny\, though in the 1800’s pennies were larger than they are now. Sometimes pennies were actually sewn into them to help weight them down and make them lay flat… Eventually penny rugs evolved into a traditional and colorful folk art. Women used their remnants and scraps of wool from making clothes\, or “turned” wool from used clothes to make their penny rugs. They would use bits of material too small to be used for strips for hooked rugs. Designs evolved from the simple circular medallions into colorful works of art with primitive appliquéd patterns of various animals\, stars\, hearts\, flowers and other shapes. Personal and elaborate stories were communicated through them using designs that included people\, their homes\, various scenes and landscapes\, thus transforming their scraps into wonderful works of art and story with elaborate stitching.”

SUMMARY:Welcome the holiday season with Wilton Dance Studio's "The Nutcracker"
DESCRIPTION:What makes the holiday season special? Cherished traditions\, music and festive decorations set the stage and Wilton Dance Studio’s 21st annual production of The Nutcracker ballet has them all. This year’s performance is back to delight all ages on Sunday\, Dec. 9 and features more than 50 dancers from Wilton. New and extra special this year are a meet-and-greet with dancers and a toy drive for Person-to-Person to share the joy of the season with those in need. \nThe full-scale production with lavish sets and costumes includes more than 80 students and adults from seven area towns. The ballet will be performed on Sunday\, Dec. 9 at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Wilton High School’s Clune Center for the Performing Arts. \n“Each year\, parents tell me their young children who come to the show fall in love with our special ballet and want to start dancing\,” said Creative Director and Owner of the Wilton Dance Studio Brenda Froehlich. “Many of our older dancers shared this happy experience when they were younger and carry that magic with them on the stage each year. This year\, to inspire those young dancers\, we’re adding a meet-and-greet and photo opportunity immediately following our 1:00 pm show. We welcome audience members to come say hello to their favorite dancers and see our beautiful costumes up close.” \nA fun part of the Nutcracker ballet story involves the handing out of gifts to children at a festive party. Unfortunately\, many families in our area can’t afford that luxury\, so the Wilton Dance Studio was inspired to host a toy drive at both performances this year. Audience members are encouraged to drop off a new\, unwrapped toy to be shared with a child in need. All toys will go to the local organization Person-to-Person. Kim Collibee of Person-to-Person said\, “We are expecting to serve more children than ever this year\, so the more toys we can get the better.” \nWilton Dance Studio’s Nutcracker is designed to suit to audiences of all ages while also challenging its dance students\, who change roles and learn more complex choreography each year. The performance length is manageable for young children and does not require an intermission. The ballet follows the traditional story of Clara and her Nutcracker prince from E.T.A. Hoffman’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King\, with music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Professional sets and elegant costumes complete the high-quality production. \nTo buy tickets\, call 203.544.9007 and leave a message or order at www.wiltondance.com\, click on “Nutcracker Performances” download & print the ticket order form. Tickets are also available at the door on the day of the show. \nPhoto Credit: Donner Photographic \n

SUMMARY:Mercury Glass Votive Workshop for Kids at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:In this fun and festive workshop\, kids ages 6-12 will use paint and water to make shiny mercury glass votive candle holders. While decorating their votives\, museum educator Laurie Walker will talk with the children about the origins of mercury glass\, which was originally created as a replacement for sterling silver\, and contains neither silver nor mercury. The children’s second project will be to make their own snack–fruit dipped in white chocolate\, decorated with silver dragees. Very jolly! \nThe cost to participate for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; for non-members is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid you know? \nMercury\, or silvered glass\, is glass that has a silvery appearance. Mercury glass actually contains no mercury\, although at one point there were several manufacturers who attempted to line glass with mercury. This procedure was short lived due to both the toxic nature of mercury as well as its expense\, but may account for the name. Also called silvered glass\, it contains neither silver nor mercury. Mercury glass is\, instead\, clear glass which is mold-blown into double-walled shapes. The glass is then coated on the inside with a liquid silver nitrate solution\, through a hole in the bottom. \nMercury glass was first created in Germany in the early 1800s. It was used as a more inexpensive material for candlesticks\, vases\, goblets\, and other objects. Silvered glass quickly gained popularity in France\, England\, Bohemia\, and the United States. The New England Glass Company showed a large display of the glass at the New York Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1853; included in the display were goblets\, vases\, spittoons\, sugar basins\, tumblers\, and more. \nAlthough some critics dismissed mercury glass as being too showy and looking too mirror-like\, most people found it very attractive. Soon\, silvered glass began to be decorated with enamel\, etching\, paint\, and engraving. In the twentieth century\, the glass was used to make Christmas ornaments and other household decorations.

Register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\nMediants were traditionally studded with nuts and dried fruits chosen to represent the robe colors of the four monastic orders\, or mendicants\, of the church: raisins for the Dominicans\, hazelnuts for the Augustinians\, figs for the Franciscans and almonds for the Carmelites. These friars lived on charitable offerings\, earning them the appellation of “mendiants\,” meaning “beggar” in French. Today any variety of fruit and nuts are used which offers a great opportunity to show off your creativity.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids:  Gingerbread Cakes
DESCRIPTION:According to food historian Tori Avey\, “Gingerbread arrived in the New World with English colonists. The cookies were sometimes used to sway Virginia voters to favor one candidate over another. The first American cookbook\, American Cookery by Amelia Simmons\, has recipes for three types of gingerbread including the soft variety baked in loaves. This softer version of gingerbread was more common in America. George Washington’s mother\, Mary Ball Washington\, served her recipe for gingerbread to the Marquis de Lafayette when he visited her Fredericksburg\, VA home. Since then it was known as Gingerbread Lafayette. The confection was passed down through generations of Washingtons.” \nAt this Wilton Historical Society Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids\, museum educator Laurie Walker will be showing the children how to make gingerbread cakes. The recipe they use is adapted from Hannah Glasse’s The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Simple\, published in 1796. The result is an irresistible “cake” that is a cross between a ginger snap and a soft cookie\, made with molasses\, ginger\, nutmeg and cream. \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 children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. 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! \nPrevious 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\, and dressed macaroni and cheese. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nThe cost is $10 for members\, $15 for non-members. Space is limited. Please register by email or calling 203.762.7257. \n
