SUMMARY:Comstock Hill Cemetery – Stewardship Workday
DESCRIPTION:The Wilton Land Conservation Trust\, in partnership with the Drum Hill Chapter NSDAR\, invites the community to celebrate our Nation’s Independence by stewarding the Comstock Hill Cemetery. This cemetery is the final resting grounds for six Revolutionary War Patriots. In honor of Independence Day 2020\, and the 246th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War\, the WLCT has partnered with the Drum Hill Chapter NSDAR to put together a community stewardship workday to improve the quality of the cemetery’s trail and grounds. \nThis workday will focus on the trail that winds through the cemetery\, general brush maintenance\, and the hand-pulling of invasive species. Volunteer crews will dig\, rake\, and cut to improve the trails and clear the passageway of stones and overhanging vegetation. \nVolunteers will meet at 1:30 p.m. (rain or shine) at the Signal Hill Rd. trail entrance; work should wrap up about 3:30 p.m. Wilton Land Conservation Trust staff will be onsite to provide instruction and make sure everyone stays safe. \nVolunteers should wear long pants\, a long-sleeved shirt\, sturdy boots\, and gloves. Bring water\, snacks\, lunch\, and work gloves. WLCT Staff will provide tools\, but participants are always welcome to bring their own loppers\, hand saws\, hand trowels\, etc. \nPARKING\nVolunteers are invited to park along the roadside of Signal Hill Rd. Please be mindful of our neighbor’s lawns and driveways. Parking on Ridgefield Rd. can be dangerous and is not recommended. \nCOVID-19\nFollowing COVID-19 safety guidelines\, volunteers are expected to bring and wear their own masks\, and to respect six foot of social distance between one another. \nVolunteering on a WLCT preserve is a rewarding way to give back to your community\, learn about conservation\, and improve public open spaces. For information on additional volunteer opportunities\, contact David McCarthy\, WLCT Executive Director via email or at 800.983.3552. \n  \n

Any woman 18 years or older\, regardless of race\, religion\, or ethnic background who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible to join.

SUMMARY:The Weekend The British Burned Danbury
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for a special presentation on the Weekend the British Burned Danbury given by the Danbury-based host of the popular podcast on Connecticut history\, Mike Allen. \nIn 1777\, early in the Revolutionary War\, a weekend military mission into inland Connecticut was supposed to be a seminal military victory for the British in their attempts to put down the Patriot uprising. The objective was to march inland from Long Island Sound and remove Danbury as a key supply center for the Patriot military. It was the first time the British had marched inland to do battle during the war\, and the strategy did not work out as planned. Included in the presentation are the burning of Danbury as well as the Battles of Ridgefield and Saugatuck on the march back to Long Island Sound through Wilton. \nAllen specializes in bringing local history to life through his background in journalism\, radio broadcasting\, podcasting and public speaking. He is the producer and host of the popular podcast on Connecticut history\, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut’s Beaten Path\, rated in the top 5-10% of podcasts nationally. For 10 years\, Allen was News Director at western Connecticut radio station i-95 FM (WRKI-FM) before becoming Press Secretary to the Mayor of Danbury. During a subsequent\, 25-year corporate career\, he worked\, lived\, and traveled internationally\, specializing in public speaking\, communications\, and marketing. Allen has lived in Connecticut for more than 50 years and currently resides in Danbury. \nCo-sponsored by Wilton Library and the Drum Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. \nRegistration is recommended online or call 203.762.6334.
