SUMMARY:Lockwood-Matthews Mansion: Irish American Art in collaboration with Quinnipiac University
DESCRIPTION:On March 12\, 2026\, 12-4 p.m.\, The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum\, in collaboration with Quinnipiac University and Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield\, will inaugurate its 2026 Season with the opening of a new exhibition titled\,  A Journey of Hope: The Irish American Immigrant Experience\, followed by a reception at 5:30-7:30 p.m. generously sponsored by O’Neill’s Irish Pub and Restaurant\, and featuring music from The Shamrogues. The show will run through May 17\, 2026\, and feature paintings and sculptures displayed in the Mansion’s Art Gallery as well as in the Servants’ Quarters. Viewing will be included with the purchase of a guided tour. Please visit www.lockwoodmathewsmansion.com for additional information. \nFormer President of Ireland\, Michael D. Higgin stated that “The Irish Famine of 1845 to 1852 was the greatest social calamity\, in terms of morality and suffering\, that Ireland has ever experienced. From 1845 to 1855\, over 1.5 million people emigrated from Ireland to America searching for a better life. This exhibition will highlight the topic of Irish immigration to America in the 19th century using art as a visual reference. This exhibit will connect directly to the early history of the Mansion\, when most of the domestic staff was Irish and where today’s visitors will have an opportunity to revisit the Servants’ Quarters with an installation of sculptures by Irish American artists. \nIreland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield contains the world’s largest collection of Great Hunger-related art by noted contemporary Irish and Irish American artists as well as several period paintings by some of Ireland’s most important 19th-century artists. Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield exists at the intersection of art\, history\, and moral imagination. Rooted in the story of Ireland\, but speaking to the wider world\, the museum strives to remember what happens when a society turns away from its most vulnerable – and to honor the resilience of those who endure. \nThis exhibition will be curated by Ryan Mahoney who is the Project Manager at the Springfield Museums in Springfield\, MA. A graduate of St. John Fisher College (BA) and the University at Albany (MA)\, Mahoney has over 15-years of experience working in the museum field\, including serving as Executive Director for both the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany\, NY and Ireland’s Great \nHunger Museum at Quinnipiac University in Hamden\, CT. Active in the Irish American Community\, Mahoney has served as a national board member for the Irish American Cultural Institute and as a board member of the United Irish Societies of the Capital District. He also was an active member of the Albany St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee. In 2016\, Mahoney was named a recipient of the 40 under 40 Award by the Irish Echo. \nLMMM’s contemporary art exhibits are sponsored in part by Designer/Artist/Author Gail Ingis\, and Kathy Olsen\, CPA.LMMM’s 2026 programs are made possible in part by LMMM’s 2026 Season Distinguished Benefactors: The City of Norwalk\, The Maurice Goodman Foundation\, Inc.\, and Lockwood-Mathews Foundation\, Inc.; LMMM’s Leadership Patrons: Dr. Michele and Attorney Miklos Koleszar; and The Sealark Foundation.

SUMMARY:Civic Life in Action: A Jane’s Walk of Windsor
DESCRIPTION:– Join Windor Historical Society Program Manager Heather Lodge and Windsor Director of Economic Development Patrick McMahon on May 2 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for a Jane’s Walk of the Windsor Broad Street Green. \nOn the first weekend of May every year\, Jane’s Walks take place in hundreds of towns and cities around the world to encourage people to share stories about their neighborhoods\, discover unseen aspects of their communities\, and connect with their neighbors. \nIn tandem with the Windsor CT 250 commemorations\, this Jane’s Walk will focus on the civic actions that happened on the town green over the last 250 years. Together we will learn about the protests\, parties\, and civic activities that took place in the town center that helped shape who we are as a community. \n“The town green is often the civic heart of a New England community\,” says Windsor Historical Society program manager\, Heather Lodge. “It is a space that belongs to no one and everyone. As such\, town greens have served for centuries as the seat of protest and celebration\, including here in Windsor. We will share some stories and hope to hear some of yours.” \nThe tour will start on the steps of Town Hall. Participation is free\, but pre-registration is encouraged at https://windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events/. \nFor more information\, visit WindsorHistoricalSociety.org or email info@windsorhistoricalsociety.org.

SUMMARY:Speaker Talk: Dr. Nicholas F. Bellantoni
DESCRIPTION:“Broteer” Venture Smith\nMay 17\, 2026 · 3 p.m.\nGarden House \nVenture Smith was a Connecticut captive born in West Africa in 1729. When he arrived in America as a child\, he was forced to work on farms in Rhode Island\, New York\, and Connecticut. Broteer’s story is especially compelling: he was able to purchase his freedom along with that of his family; he became a successful businessman; and he narrated his own story\, telling of his childrehood in Africa\, the horrific Middle Passage\, his captivity\, and freedom. The Broteer Venture Smith Project combines history\, genealogy\, genetics\, and archaeology with hopes of discovering more about his life. In this presentation\, Connecticut State Archeologist Emeritus Dr. Nicholas F. Bellantoni tells of Broteer\, his life and times\, and the DNA project initiated by his descendants. \nTickets to go on sale in 2026. \nBellantoni serves as the emeritus state archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History at the University of Connecticut. He received his doctorate in anthropology from UConn in 1987 and was shortly thereafter appointed state archaeologist. His duties primarily included the preservation of archaeological sites in the state. He serves as an adjunct associate research professor in the department of anthropology at UConn and resided as former president of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut and the National Association of State Archaeologists. \nBellantoni’s research background includes the forensic archaeology and faunal analysis from eastern North America. He is the author a number of books written for the general public: The Long Journeys Home: The Repatriation of Henry Opukaha’ia and Albert Afraid of Hawk; “And So The Tomb Remained”: Exploring Archaeology and Forensic Science Within Connecticut’s Historical Family Mausolea; Archaeology Without Digging: Connecticut History Uncovered By Ground-Penetrating Radar; and Hiking Ruins of Southern New England: A Guide to 40 Sites in Connecticut\, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
