SUMMARY:How Revolutionary: Fairfield County and the War for Independence Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Creating the United States of America was a radical act. The American Revolution\, from 1776 to today\, serves as a symbol of bold political action and the creation of a government based on new\, enlightened ideas. But was it truly revolutionary? The new country that emerged after the War for Independence did separate itself from a European monarchy\, but society in many ways looked much the same before\, during\, and after the United States was established.\n\n\nIn this lecture\, Wilton Historical Society Director Nick Foster uses archival evidence related to Fairfield County’s role in the Revolution to explore how radical America’s fight for independence truly was. Wilton\, like many surrounding communities\, experienced conflict between Patriots and Loyalists\, the harsh realities of war\, and difficult decisions about self-governance. The responses to these challenges present a more nuanced idea of “revolution”.\n\n\nThe lecture will be held at the Wilton Historical Society from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday\, Apr. 24.\n\n\nRegistration online is required. Admission is $10 per person for non-members\, free for Wilton Historical Society members.\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Victorian "Get Ready With Me": A 19th Century Fashion Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Modern fashion influencers invite viewers to “get ready with me” — an opportunity for an inside look at their wardrobe choices and styling for days at the office\, Sunday brunch\, dinner dates and more. While no social media existed in the late 19th century\, people considered a balance of form\, function and social expectations when putting together an outfit.\n\n\nOn Saturday\, Apr. 19\, at 2 p.m.\, join the Wilton Historical Society for a lecture from historical costume designer and fashion historian Jessica Bolduc as they discuss what it took for someone in the Victorian era to get dressed and ready for the day. The lecture will cover the evolving nature of fashion throughout the second half of the 1800s using examples from the Wilton Historical Society’s museum collection as well as recreations from Bolduc.\n\n\nFunding for this program is provided by the Elizabeth Raymond Ambler Trust.\n\n\nThe lecture will be held at the Wilton Historical Society. Registration is required\, and the cost to attend is $10 per person for non-members and free for Wilton Historical Society Members.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:“What Does Community Mean?” Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:What makes a “welcoming” community and what does it mean to be a part of one? The Wilton Historical Society recently announced the opening of its latest exhibition Puzzle Pieces: Putting Wilton Together. This exhibition\, funded by a generous grant from the Wilton Kiwanis Club\, strives to help visitors create a sense of belonging in the town.

Wilton Historical Society Director Nick Foster will be joined by Chandra Ring of Wilton Youth Council and Mary Anne Mendola Franco from Wilton Kiwanis for a discussion about Wilton history\, what Wilton means to them\, and how important it is to have a community that you belong to.\n\n\nDiscussion will be held at the Wilton Historical Society at 6 p.m. on Thursday\, Mar. 6. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists and tour the new exhibition. Light refreshments will be served.\n\n\nThis is a free program.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Victorian Tea Service
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wilton Historical Society for an afternoon filled with delicious teas\, delectable bites\, gorgeous flowers and memories created with loved ones!\n\n\nThe classic Afternoon Tea is a tradition born around 1840 when members of the British aristocracy felt the need to fill the long gap between the lunch and dinner menus.

Guests will enjoy a beautifully decorated tent in the courtyard of the Society’s campus. Also find all of the classically magnificent details expected from a 19th century tea service. A Dash of Salt will provide delicious teas and bites alongside a presentation on the History of Tea with an expert from Bigelow Tea.\n\n\nWildbloom Skincare and Bigelow Tea generously sponsor this event.\n\n\nWild Roses and Blooms generously provide the flowers and arrangements.\n\n \n\n\nTickets are $60 per person for Wilton Historical Society Members; $75 per person for Non-Members.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement — William Boone Bonvillian
DESCRIPTION:Where did the Internet\, Stealth\, GPS\, and Covid mRNA vaccines come from? The Role of DARPA in Fostering Disruptive Technologies — William Bonvillian\, MIT\n\n\nIn the 17th year of Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society’s collaboration\, the scholarly lecture series focuses on the theme of Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement. In this lecture\, William Bonvillian\, MIT lecturer and Wilton resident\, discusses the U.S. government’s crucial role in the development of everything from the internet to COVID vaccines.\n\n\nThe government not only funds the research that leads to these technological advances\, but also bridges the gap between scientific breakthroughs and their commercially successful applications. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is one of the most extraordinary engines over the past half-century for such activity. Later\, “clones” in other government agencies beyond the U.S. Department of Defense\, DARPA’s home\, also took on some of that responsibility. This session describes those breakthroughs and illuminates DARPA’s (and its clones’) role in bringing them about.\n\n\nBonvillian is a lecturer at MIT and a senior director at MIT’s Program for Open Learning.
