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:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series – Sex\, Scandal\, and Upheaval: 1919 – What’s Changed? with Cecelia Bucki
DESCRIPTION:In the 12th year of the collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series theme is ‘Sex\, Scandal and Upheaval: 1919–What’s Changed?’ \nHistorian and author Cecelia Bucki\, Ph.D.\, will survey the domestic unrest that plagued the United States following the end of World War One. The Treaty of Versailles signaled the end of World War One but on the home front\, conflict continued. The Great War and its aftermath resulted in domestic repercussions such as general strikes\, labor unrest\, race riots\, and Palmer raids. Nationally and here in Connecticut\, peace remained elusive. This part of 1919 remains an untold part of 20th century U.S. history. \nBucki has taught American history at Fairfield University for more than 25 years. Her specialties within U.S. History are social\, labor and working-class\, and immigration history. She is the author of the award-winning Bridgeport’s Socialist New Deal\, 1915-1936 (University of Illinois Press\, 2001). From 2011-2017\, she was editor-in-chief of the journal Connecticut History Review. \nSee the library’s registration link for details. \nThe lecture is sponsored by Lila and Buck Griswold; Max Gabrielson is the moderator. The remaining lectures are as follows (please note the location of each lecture): \n\nMarch 10 at the Wilton Historical Society:  “Men in Black Sox\,” with Steve Wulf\, ESPN\nMarch 31 at the Wilton Historical Society:  “Votes for Women” with Pam Dougherty\, Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame.\n\nReception follows the talk. There is no charge but donations are always welcomed. Registration is required. Please register for each lecture individually.

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.

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:"A Journey...."  One-Woman Show by Kimberly Wilson
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of March as Women’s History Month\, Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society present A Journey . . .\, a one-woman show by Westport writer and actress Kimberly Wilson. Wilson was awarded “Best Playwright” in 2016 by the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival for the piece. At the end of the presentation\, Wilson will conduct a “talk-back” session. \nRooted in research\, A Journey is a tour-de-force of acting and song\, as the statuesque Wilson modulates her powerful contralto from a whisper to a fervent spiritual\, capturing the spirits of Harriet Tubman\, Sojourner Truth\, Rosa Parks\, Maya Angelou\, two invented characters she calls the ‘Slave Woman’ and ‘African Queen\,’ and a new historical figure\, Haggar Tonquin of Wilton. Wilson skillfully tells of the struggles and influence of Black womanhood as an integral part of the history of the United States. \nA reception will follow the talk. No charge but donations are always welcomed. See the library’s registration link for more details. Registration is highly recommended. Register online or call 203.762.6334.

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:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series–Sex\, Scandal\, and Upheaval:  1919 - What's Changed? – Men in Black Sox
DESCRIPTION:In the 12th year of the collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series theme is ‘Sex\, Scandal and Upheaval: 1919 – What’s Changed?’ Veteran sports writer Steve Wulf is at the plate with the story of the infamous cheating scandal that enveloped the 1919 World Series. \nOne hundred years ago\, the stage was set for the darkest drama in the history of baseball:  the Black Sox Scandal. Upset at the penny-pinching ways of White Sox owner Charles Comiskey\, and tempted by the riches promised to them by gamblers\, several members of the team conspired to help the Cincinnati Red Stockings win the 1919 World Series. \nWulf is a senior writer with ESPN\, where he has happily worked since 1997\, when he became one of the founding editors of ESPN The Magazine. See the library’s registration link for details. The lecture is sponsored by MaryGail and Jerry Gristina; Steve Hudspeth  is the moderator. \nThe final lecture is Sunday\, March 31 at the Wilton Historical Society – “Votes for Women” – with Pam Dougherty of the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame. \nReception will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend but donations are always welcomed. Registration required–please register for each lecture individually. Register online or call 203.762.6334.
