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.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Connecticut to the Revolution with Mike Allen
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut played an outsized role in winning U.S. independence from the British Empire. Prominent historical figures contributed to the formation of the new country\, while Connecticut earned the nickname “the provision state” because of its supplies of food and ammunition to the Continental Army. \nMilitary actions in Danbury\, Ridgefield\, Saugatuck\, Groton\, New London\, New Haven\, Greenwich\, Norwalk\, and Fairfield were significant. \nRoger Sherman\, Israel Putnam\, Jonathan Trumbull\, Benedict Arnold\, Noah Webster\, and others played critical roles\, while other notable figures visited the state during the Revolutionary War years: George Washington\, French General Rochambeau\, John Hancock\, and more. \nThe Connecticut Compromise broke a stalemate in the Continental Congress and allowed progress to continue forming the Constitution. \nNoted storyteller and journalist Mike Allen\, former host of the popular podcast Amazing Tales About History\, will walk through the key people and events in Connecticut during our nation’s tumultuous march to independence\, 250 years ago. \nThe talk will be held on Thursday\, April 30\, at 7:00 p.m. at the Wilton Historical Society (224 Danbury Road in Wilton).\nThe event is free for Historical Society members. For non-members\, there is a $10.00 fee. \nRegistration required. \nThis event is sponsored by ASML.
