Particularly\, tastes from the early Colonial years\, the Victorian era\, and the Prohibition speakeasy age immerse guests in nearly three centuries of Wilton culture.

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. From 2006 until 2017\, he was the director of MIT’s Washington office\, supporting MIT’s long-standing role in science policy. He now teaches courses on science and technology policy at MIT and is the author of five books on innovation policy\, including a 2020 book on DARPA. Previously\, he worked for over 15 years on innovation issues as a senior advisor in the U.S. Senate\, and earlier was a Deputy Assistant U.S. Secretary of Transportation. He has served on two National Academy of Science (NAS) Boards and nine other NAS committees and was named a Fellow by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences. He is a Wilton resident and Wilton High School graduate and earned degrees from Columbia\, Yale and Columbia Law.\n\n\nThis series is sponsored by Laureen Mody and the moderator is Steve Hudspeth. A reception follows the talk and there is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit Wilton Library’s website for required registration and additional dates\, topics\, and speaker details or call 203.762.6334 to register.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Exhibitions Reception at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, May 19\, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold a reception to celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions.\n\n\nCommitment to Community: The Lives of Laurent Clerc and Francis Clerc Ogden is developed in partnership with the American School for the Deaf\, and explores the lives of two men\, Laurent Clerc and his great-grandson Francis Clerc Ogden. Clerc\, a co-founder of the American School for the Deaf\, spent his life working to make education accessible for deaf students\, including recruiting other trailblazing educators developing sign language. Ogden\, a Wilton resident for nearly 70 years\, was involved in countless town organizations and projects\, including helping to found the Wilton Historical Society. This exhibit will examine the work both men did in service to others and the fortuitous circumstances that brought two organizations together.\n\n\nThe Town Book: E. Boyd Smith’s 20th Century Wilton takes a deeper look at Wilton during the early 20th century\, a time of radical transformation for the town\, through the work of a resident who witnessed it firsthand\, E. Boyd Smith. Smith was a children’s book author and illustrator\, and along with his wife Mary\, was an active member of the community. Smith’s illustrations were directly inspired by the scenes he saw as he traveled around Wilton\, often including landmarks familiar to his fellow residents. His books capture a lifestyle that was rapidly disappearing and made it accessible to young readers. The exhibition will display Smith’s art alongside objects from the museum’s collection to offer different perspectives on Wilton’s evolution during the first half of the 1900’s. Funding for this exhibition was provided by Connecticut Humanities.\n\n\nThe reception is open to the public at no charge.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Colonial Tavern Night
DESCRIPTION:Taverns and inns were an integral part of 18th century Wilton\, serving as restaurants\, bars\, rest stops for weary travelers\, and community centers. These businesses were so vital that for a time\, Connecticut colonial law required several towns to have at least one tavern open. On April 28\, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will celebrate and acknowledge these important historic places by hosting its own tavern at the museum!\n\n\nJust like Wilton’s colonial residents\, guests can help themselves to delicious food and drink\, try their hand at some colonial tabletop games like Shut the Box and Nine Men’s Morris\, listen to traditional folk music\, and explore part of the Society’s c. 1772 Sloan-Raymond-Fitch House\, which operated as a tavern throughout the American Revolution and was nearly burned to the ground by the British 246 years to the day of this event. Guests can also participate in a themed tavern trivia contest and test their knowledge of the 1700’s with a chance to win some reproduction Colonial drinkware.\n\n\nTicket includes open bar of beer and wine with beer provided by Redding Beer Company and food courtesy of Jeff’s BBQ. Hard cider samples will be provided by Farah Masani and Shawn Frend of Wilton Cider House.\n\n\nThis event is for adults 21+ and is generously sponsored by WildBloom Skincare. Tickets are $45 for members and $55 for non-members.  To purchase tickets\, visit the Wilton Historical Society’s website.\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Weekend Workshop: Mercury Glass Votives
DESCRIPTION:Dating back to the mid-1800’s\, mercury glass was originally created as a replacement for sterling silver\, yet actually contains neither silver nor mercury. As traditionally practiced\, the process of blowing mercury glasses utilized a double-walled technique which involved pouring silvering solution in between two glass layers. Mercury glass remains a popular material for Christmas ornaments and other decorative household goods. Today\, this art form can be mimicked on glass objects using common household vinegar and a spray can technique.\n\n\nOn Saturday\, April 22\, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\, Museum Educator Catherine Lipper will hold a mercury glass votive workshop at the Wilton Historical Society. Participants will create their own decorative votives complete with candles and enjoy a snack of sugar cookies decorated with silver confectionery.\n\n\nSuggested for ages 6-10. The fee is $10 per child for members and $15 per child for non-members.\n\n\nTo register\, please visit the Wilton Historical Society website or via email.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...
