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...

SUMMARY:Weekend Workshops: Basket Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Baskets have been created across the world as both a useful tool and a decorative art for thousands of years. In Wilton\, both Indigenous peoples and colonial settlers used baskets large and small for all sorts of purposes\, including drying herbs\, carrying crops\, and as long-term storage containers. Even into the 20th century\, baskets were used by many of Wilton’s apple farmers during the fall harvest season.\n\n\nWeaving with rattan (also known as reed)\, continues to be a popular practice\, as it is pliable\, organic\, sturdy\, and readily available. On Saturday\, March 18\, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold its very own Basket Weaving with Rattan Workshop for kids. Museum Educator Catherine Lipper will discuss the construction and uses of baskets over time while participants become absorbed in creating their very own artifacts. A snack of Triscuits and apple juice will be offered. A perfect event for aspiring artisans!\n\n\nSuggested for ages 6-10. The fee is $10 per child for members and $15 per child for non-members. Register online or via email.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America – Dr. Aimee Loiselle
DESCRIPTION:US Women Demand Equity: From Voting Rights to Work Conditions – Dr. Aimee Loiselle\, Central Connecticut State University.\n\n\nIn the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series entitled “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America” will focus on how women from different backgrounds and regions have pursued equity by different means.\n\n\nDuring this program\, Aimee Loiselle\, an assistant professor at Central Connecticut State University\, will discuss how even the suffrage movement and passage of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the federal right to vote in 1920\, emerged from many tactics heavily shaped by race\, class\, and geography. Its passage fueled more efforts by women\, both to use the vote and to highlight its inadequacy for addressing problems like unfair work conditions and poverty. Middle-class white women\, Black women\, and working-class women had points of collaboration and division throughout the 20th century as they demanded equity on different terms.\n\n\nDr. Loiselle is an award-winning historian. She studies modern US history with an interest in women workers and attention to intersections of gender\, race\, class\, and citizenship.\n\n\nThe moderator is Max Gabrielson. A reception will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for additional dates\, topic and speaker details\, and registration. Registration is required for each individual session.\n\n \n\n\nAdditional dates:\n\n\nMarch 26:  The Long Road toward LGBTQ+ Rights and Equality in the United States — Dr. Kelly Marino\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Weekend Workshop: Paper Making
DESCRIPTION:Paper was not always the cheap and universal product that it is today. Before the Renaissance\, paper in Europe was handmade by specialized artisans and was costly compared to cheaper alternatives like parchment. The craft of handmade paper survives today as a hobby and an art form using traditional paper making materials such as hemp\, linen\, cotton\, and wood pulp. Paper makers use a mold with a wooden frame and wire mesh to create a unique and useful product.\n\n\nThe Wilton Historical Society will hold its very own Paper Making Workshop on Saturday\, March 4\, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Museum Educator Catherine Lipper will discuss paper making and describe various types of papers and their uses. Participants will create their own colorful sheets of paper using a mold and dyes. The morning promises to be a rare opportunity to learn an intricate and long-practiced art form.\n\n\nSuggested for ages 6-10. The fee is $10 per child for members and $15 per child for non-members.

SUMMARY:Weekend Workshop: Maple Sugaring
DESCRIPTION:Maple sugaring was practiced by Indigenous North Americans long before the arrival of European colonists. While some modern tools and methods have been added over the years\, the process of tapping maple trees and boiling the sap into syrup has remained largely unchanged. Today\, maple syrup is a staple product produced in the Northeast United States and Canada.\n\n\nThe freezing and thawing of late winter and early spring provides ideal conditions for extracting sap from maple trees. On Saturday\, February 18\, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold a maple sugaring workshop. Museum Educator Catherine Lipper will talk about the maple sugaring process while participants help to prepare their very own tasty snack of maple tarts.

Recently harvested fruits and vegetables were dried\, and others were preserved and put into sealed jars. Fall and summer favorites such as pumpkins\, apples\, pears\, plums\, peaches\, quinces and berries were especially popular. Jams and marmalades were made in large batches\, a time-consuming process but one with delicious results! Strings of fruit were hung out to dry\, creating delightful edible decorations. On Saturday\, Nov. 5\, from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold its very own “Preparing for Winter” children’s workshop. Participants will make their own colorful dried fruit necklaces\, and enjoy a snack of home-made preserves on hearth-baked bread\, as they listen to stories of winter in New England told by museum educator Catherine Lipper.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Kids' Weekend Workshop — Paper Doll-Making
DESCRIPTION:The Wilton Historical Society is bringing back its regular Saturday kids programs\, now called “Weekend Workshops.” The first program\, a paper doll-making workshop\, will be held on Saturday\, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.\n\n\nPaper dolls have been a common toy for centuries across the globe. Traditionally\, in the United States and Europe\, paper dolls have consisted of figures cut out of paper or thin card stock\, with clothing fashioned out of paper held onto the dolls with paper folding tabs. Mass production of these dolls began in the early 1800s and continued into the 20th century.\n\n\nAccording to the University of Chicago Library\, early paper dolls created in Europe frequently depicted actors or actresses who were used similarly to puppet shows on toy stages. Dressmakers used articulated dolls for a more practical purpose — as miniature models for clothing designs. Wilton Historical holds several paper dolls in its collection\, including one from 1890.\n\n\nThe Wilton Historical Society’s paper doll-making workshop for kids will feature pre-cut paper figures that can be decorated with a variety of paper outfits. The session will be led by museum educator Catherine Lipper\, who will also share her collection of three pristine condition Madam Alexander dolls. The morning promises to be a great opportunity for creativity and fun\, appropriate for boys and girls alike.\n\n\nThe suggested age for participants is 6-10 years old. The cost to participate is $10 per child for members; $15 per child for non-members.\n\n \n\n\nRegister online or via email.\n\n\nThe Wilton Historical Society is located at 224 Danbury Rd.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Lives and Landscapes: Art from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:From the town’s beginnings in the early 18th century\, work depicting the people and landscapes of Wilton have reflected the ever-changing artistic tides of subject matter\, materials and styles of the next three centuries. The new exhibition\, Lives and Landscapes: Art from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society\, opening on June 10\, explores highlights of the art collection from the colonial era to the 1970s. Throughout that time\, Wilton has served as inspiration for a wide variety of creators. Whether simply passing through or ensconced as a long-time resident\, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression or fulfilling commercial contracts\, Wilton’s artists produced a diverse body of work. The exhibition runs through October 29.\n\n\nMembers of Wilton’s colonial first families\, such as the Lamberts\, Beldens\, and Grummans\, commissioned portraits to help display their wealth and power. The two works on display by itinerant painter Ralph Earl were prized – Earl’s patron’s included founding father Roger Sherman – as were the portraits produced by Gilbert Stuart Newton\, nephew of the renowned Gilbert Stuart. Gilbert Stuart is best known for his iconic images of George Washington.\n\n\nOver time\, landscapes rose in popularity. Wilton’s sparsely populated countryside of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries provided beautiful scenery to be captured on canvas and a quiet place to work undisturbed\, while Wilton’s proximity to the cultural hub of New York City ensured a large audience was easily accessible. Artists working in the new Impressionist style\, seeking vistas to be painted “en plein air” populated the area – one of the leaders being J. Alden Weir and his “great good place” Weir Farm. Others like H.G Thomson followed soon after. In the early to mid- 20th century\, a new group of artists emerged. Many congregated in the Silvermine area enjoying both the setting and the proximity to the city. Works produced in Wilton could quickly be placed in any of New York’s numerous museums and galleries.\n\n\nTown landmarks\, such as the 1790 Wilton Congregational Church painted in an impressionistic style “en plein air” by Robert Emmett Owen and the 1726 Lambert House by H.G. Thompson\, are beautifully depicted. Other artists represented in the exhibition include Richard Daggy\, sculptor A. Phimister Proctor\, and Hillary Longmuir.\n\n\nLives and Landscapes explores Wilton’s artistic legacy through a selection of rarely seen work from Wilton Historical’s permanent collection. These works capture something of the personality of the town through the faces and places depicted. They tell the stories of not only the subject matter of the piece\, but the story of a town.\n\n \n\n\nWilton Historical Members: Free; Non-members $10\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...
