SUMMARY:Kids' Hands-On History Summer Program
DESCRIPTION:Children ages 8-11 (or entering 3rd-6th grade) will explore Windsor history while having fun in a historical setting! Learn about Windsor’s people and their stories while “doing” history! Daily program themes build an understanding of Windsor’s diverse history from earliest times to the present day. \nMonday\, August 3\, Colonial Connections. Students will learn about 1600s Connecticut through crafts and play. They will learn to weave\, make a sparkling shad\, and compete in colonial-era games. \nTuesday\, August 4\, 1776 Sensations. 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  In honor of the American Revolution\, students will set up a soldier’s tent\, discover the music of the fife and drum\, and learn the beautiful science of cartography. \nWednesday\, August 5\, Boats and Bridges. The early 1800s were defined by a transportation revolution.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Ruta Sepetys:  "A Fortune of Sand"
DESCRIPTION:Please join Fairfield Public Library as Ruta Sepetys\, in conversation with Kathleen Carter\, discusses her new book\, A Fortune of Sand.  Refreshments will be provided by The Friends of Fairfield Public Library\, and copies of the book will be available to purchase from Barrett Bookstore. \nSet against the crumbling grandeur of 1920s Detroit and inspired by actual\, long-buried historical events\, A Fortune of Sand is a haunting mosaic of glamour and grift in a city built on ambition\, as young Marjorie Lennox rejects her family’s powerful automotive dynasty to apply to an exclusive arts program.  When strange things begin happening in the program’s grand building\, Marjorie begins to question herself and the fate of other women who don’t fit neatly into a gilded frame… \nFree.  Please register.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talks
DESCRIPTION:The dozens of tavern signs in our Auditorium once hung over busy public spaces where Connecticans ate\, drank\, slept\, argued\, celebrated\, gambled\, danced\, and courted. \nOn Tuesday afternoons this summer\, drop in for a gallery talk about tavern life in early Connecticut. You’ll learn how to decode the symbolism on some of our most inscrutable signs\, and about why so few of these once-ubiquitous items have survived until today. \nThis gallery talk is included in regular museum admission. There’s no need to pre-register!

SUMMARY:State Historian Andy Horowitz: Why Connecticut 250 Matters  at New Haven Museum
DESCRIPTION:“The past created the present\, so if we want to know why things are the way they are\, we need to understand history\,” says State Historian Andy Horowitz. In a freewheeling lecture\, “Why Connecticut 250 Matters\,” Horowitz will explore how the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States offers a prism for making sense of the present and the future. The special NH250 event will be at the New Haven Museum on Wednesday\, July 1\, 2026\, at 6 p.m. Reception at 5:30 p.m. Free with regular museum admission\, register here. \nHorowitz will begin with an account of how the American Revolution mattered to people – European\, African\, and American; men and women; rich and poor; free and enslaved – in Connecticut 250 years ago. “I prepared this talk with two kinds of people in mind\,” Horowitz says. “The first are people who already care about Connecticut history; the second are people who think Connecticut’s history is boring. For both groups\, I’m bringing stories they won’t have heard before\, at least not this way.” He adds that the “shockingly interesting combination of people who comprised Connecticut in the 1770s can give us a necessary perspective on our contemporary period of pluralism and discord.” \n“As state historian\, my goal is always to convince people that Connecticut’s history is worthy of attention – but that’s especially so now\, when the study of history is so politically fraught and scrutinized from every quarter\, and when national issues threaten to overwrite local ones\, “ Horowitz says. “We need to rebuild our national narrative\, but that story has to start at home\, with true stories that expand our sense of who we are and what our local communities are capable of.” \nHorowitz’s lecture will be a fitting companion piece to the NHM’s new exhibition\, “New Haven’s Unfinished Revolutions\,” which offers an immersive environment exploring key moments when freedoms were expanded or restricted in New Haven. The exhibition includes original objects\, enlarged photographs\, and an exciting interactive that connects visitors to New Haven’s role in national movements that transformed ideas about human rights and liberty. Visitors are welcome to arrive early\, review the exhibition\, and stay for the reception and lecture.

SUMMARY:Songs of Sedition and Rebellion at the Pardee-Morris House
DESCRIPTION:From the time of the Stamp Act in 1765 through the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781\, Connecticut’s seditious colonists used songs and hymns to foment rebellion\, commemorate victory\, and give thanks for preservation. Historical musician Richard Franklin Donohue will bring his spinet harpsichord to the Pardee-Morris House for a positively revolutionary performance\, “What A Glorious Crash They Made\,” on Sunday\, June 28\, 2026\, at 2 p.m. Register for the special NH250 event here. For weather updates check our Facebook/Instagram pages or visit newhavenmuseum.org. \n“What A Glorious Crash They Made” features a collection of songs and hymns published in Connecticut during the American Revolution. Donohue will sing\, sharing his original research and exploring the fiery repertoire that in the words of John Adams\, “cultivated the sensations of freedom.” \nDonohue searched historical newspaper databases to find original publications of songs that existed in Connecticut between 1768 and 1783. With newly composed lyrics for popular tunes\, the songs demonstrate the anger\, determination\, and gratitude of Connecticut’s patriot population. The program will span the Revolutionary War years with selections like John Dickinson’s “Liberty Song\,” William Billings’ “Chester\,” Andrew Law’s “Middletown\,” and popular British tunes with newer texts reflecting the cause of freedom. \nDonohue develops programs that explore the space around what he calls “the swinging door that exists between history and music.” He believes that music from any period needs to be presented with careful consideration of historical context\, instrumentation\, performance practice\, and linguistic detail. With pronunciation based on evidence left by Benjamin Franklin and Noah Webster\, and accompaniment on a spinet harpsichord\, Richard strives to create as authentic a sound as possible. \nNew Haven Museum thanks community partner WSHU 91.1 FM for supporting the 2026 summer season.

SUMMARY:“These Hands\, This Leaf” Honors CT Tobacco Workers
DESCRIPTION:Windsor Historical Society invites the public to the opening reception of its new exhibition\, “These Hands\, This Leaf: Leonard Hellerman’s Photographs of Windsor’s Tobacco Workers\,” Wednesday\, June 24\, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to the community\, and registration is encouraged. \nTobacco has long defined Windsor\, which is recognized as the heart of the Connecticut Tobacco Valley. This exhibit presents an intimate portrait of the skilled workers who built that legacy\, captured by Windsor photographer Dr. Leonard Hellerman. \nOne of Hellerman’s favorite subjects is Connecticut River Valley shade-grown tobacco (used mainly for premium cigars) cultivated under white cloth. “I have likely taken more photographs in shade tobacco fields than anyone\,” Hellerman said. Growing tobacco from seed to harvest requires months of skilled labor and care\, and he’s been there photographing every step. \n“Years ago\, I was given permission by [the Thrall family] to photograph their workers\, fields\, and sheds\,” Hellerman said. This began a decades-long documentary project: an intimate\, multigenerational portrait of Windsor tobacco farming. \nTo register for the opening reception\, visit windsorhistoricalsociety.org or email info@windsorhistoricalsociety.org. \nThe exhibit will be open during regular museum hours\, Wednesday – Saturday\, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. through September

SUMMARY:Three Lighthouses Off New London at the Pardee-Morris House
DESCRIPTION:Lighthouses have safeguarded mariners for centuries. Many are cherished historic landmarks—beacons that symbolize hope\, safety\, guidance\, and enduring strength—including three majestic examples on the Connecticut coast owned by the New London Maritime Society (NLMS). Susan Tamulevich\, executive director of NLMS\, will share the colorful histories of the treasured lighthouses during a free NH250 event\, “Three Lighthouses Off New London\,” at the Pardee-Morris House on Sunday\, June 21\, 2026\, at 2 p.m. Register here. For weather updates check our Facebook/Instagram pages or visit newhavenmuseum.org. \nBeginning in 2009\, the NLMS assumed ownership of three historic beacons that guided vessels from the Atlantic into the port of New London in southeastern Long Island Sound: New London Harbor Light—established in 1761 and the oldest and tallest lighthouse on the Sound; Race Rock Light Station—constructed in the 1870s off Fishers Island\, a remarkable engineering achievement in the turbulent waters known as “the Race”; and New London Ledge Lighthouse—the 1909 brick ‘house’ affectionately called “Point Alpha” by Groton-based submariners. NLMS restores and maintains the three lighthouses and keeps them accessible to the public. \nTamulevich notes that as GPS technology supplanted the role of lighthouses as navigational aids\, a significant number of the structures have deteriorated due to neglect and the effects of climate change\, while others are being sold off to private owners. Thankfully\, the 2000 National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act recognizes the cultural\, recreational\, and educational value of historic light stations. Since its enactment\, more than 150 lighthouse properties have been transferred to new stewards\, helping to ensure their preservation for future generations. \nNew Haven Museum thanks community partner WSHU 91.1 FM for supporting the 2026 summer season.

This year’s reading is Lemuel Haynes’ 1776 essay\, “Liberty Further Extended.” Born in West Hartford in 1753\, Haynes was America’s first Black ordained minister. In this contemporary response to the Declaration of Independence\, Haynes argues against slavery\, calls out the hypocrisy of American’s war for “independence\,” and advocates for a better\, freer future. Participants are welcome to either take part and read the words or listen and reflect on this important piece of abolitionist history. \nBoth programs are outside. In the case of heavy rain\, both programs will be moved indoors to Windsor Historical Society facilities. \nThis program is part of Windsor Historical Society’s WindsorCT250 commemoration activities.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive: Preserving Folklife Through Sound
DESCRIPTION:Join Fairfield Public Library for a fascinating lecture with folklorist and researcher Derek Piotr\, founder of The Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive. \nThe Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive was established by Derek Piotr in August 2022. The Archive contains over 1\,500 audio recordings made from March 2020 onward\, and preserves diverse representations of folklife; ballads\, hymns\, tales\, poems\, children’s songs\, and interviews among them. The focus of this collection is on the “non-singer”: someone with no background in musical performance who can nevertheless relate a song or folkloric memory. In this lecture\, Derek will walk you through the process of journeying everywhere from Iceland to Appalachia to record these songs from non-musicians\, as well as the organization and development of the Archive as a web-based repository. \nPlease register.
