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:The Ride: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America
DESCRIPTION:“Listen\, my children\, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere… ” On Saturday\, April 18\, 2026—the anniversary of the most famous horse ride in American history —author Kostya Kennedy will visit the New Haven Museum to present little-known aspects of a beloved story in\, “The Ride: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America\,” based on his book of the same title. The free NHM250 event will be held at 2 p.m. and preceded by a reception at 1:30 p.m. Register here. \nRevere\, a Boston-based silversmith\, engraver\, and staunch anti-British political operative\, inspired the poem and legend of “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.” But\, according to Kennedy\, the story of Revere’s ride to warn of approaching British troop is deeper and richer than previously assumed. “That night in in 1775 was 12 hours that changed the world\,” Kennedy says. \nRevere was not the only rider that April night in 1775\, but he was by far the most critical. The patriots’ best and most trusted “express rider\,” he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England\, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other\, Kennedy asserts\, and its consequences in the months and years following—as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war—became one of our founding tales. \n“There’s a layered story to Paul Revere’s ride\, a story that speaks directly to the tenor\, values and resolve of America’s founding\,” Kennedy says. “Without the ride the course of the nation’s history would have begun much differently than it did.” \nWorking from his dramatic new narrative of Revere’s ride\, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives\, family letters and diaries\, contemporary accounts\, and more\, Kennedy will show the historic event to be vastly more complex than usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters\, capture by British forces\, and ultimately success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting\, Kennedy will highlight myriad other men and women who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America’s independence. He will also dispel some of the myths around the legend\, including that of Revere purportedly saying\, “The British are coming!” during the ride. \nThe notion of acting at great personal risk for a principle much larger than oneself resonates through history. Kennedy notes that today\, groups and individuals across the political spectrum and from any number of societal perspectives still cite Revere\, and his ride\, as inspiration. “It’s another reminder of how relatively small actions\, and a relatively small network of people\, can have an enormous impact\,” he adds.

SUMMARY:"Jordan Freeman: The Fight to Set a People Free" - A Performance by Kevin Johnson
DESCRIPTION:“Jordan Freeman: The Fight to Set a People Free”\nPerformance by Kevin Johnson\nApril 23\, 2026 · 7 p.m.\nGarden House \nJust in time for the 249th anniversary of the Battle of Ridgefield\, experience historian Kevin Johnson’s compelling portrayal of Jordan Freeman\, an African American servant of John Ledyard and the body servant of Col. William Ledyard in the Revolutionary War. \nJordan Freeman was an actual person\, born into slavery in Old Lyme\, CT in 1732. When the Revolutionary War broke out in 1775\, Freeman – who did not enlist himself – witnessed key events of the war for independence while with Colonel William Ledyard. Historians estimate the number of Black soldiers in the Revolutionary War to have been about 5\,000 men\, serving in militias\, seagoing services\, and support activities – including nearly 500 from Connecticut. Some enlisted because they felt it was their duty; others because they were offered their freedom in return for satisfactory completion of a set period of service. Johnson’s interpretation is based on his extensive research in the collections of the Connecticut State Library and the Museum of Connecticut History. \nRegistration is required and will open soon. \nKevin Johnson is an employee of the State Library’s History and Genealogy Unit\, and he has been portraying Jordan Freeman for about 17 years. He also has portrayed Private William Webb\, a soldier in the Civil War\, for 26 years and has delivered over 600 presentations. The Connecticut State Library provides high quality library and information services to state government and the citizens of Connecticut. It also preserves and makes accessible the records of Connecticut’s history and heritage. The focus of the Museum and its collections is Connecticut’s government\, military and industrial history. Additional information about the State Library and the Museum of Connecticut History can be found at ctstatelibrary.org

SUMMARY:Cat On a Hot Tin Roof: Author Visit with Peter Abrahams (aka Spencer Quinn) (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Peter Abrahams (aka Spencer Quinn) returns to Avon to celebrate the release of his newest book\, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  \nAbout Cat on a Hot Tin Roof:  \nJill Sonke\, a Ph.D. who works at the University of Florida\, says—after an exhaustive study—that reading for pleasure has fallen off the table in the 21st century: a decline of 40%. Obviously those people haven’t met Bernie Little and his sidekick\, Chet. This is the kind of can’t-put-it-down\, gotta-read-one-more-chapter crime/suspense/mystery novel that only a few writers can pull off. I think of Michael Connolly\, John Sandford\, and Lee Child\, but Spencer Quinn has something those books don’t: the narrator is a wonderful dog who sees (and smells) things his detective partner can’t. Chet is brave\, and has a wonderfully optimistic view of life in the American Southwest; he often assures devoted readers (like me) that he is feeling “tip-top.” We should all be so lucky\, and Bernie is lucky to have such a devoted friend. Chet is positive that Bernie will eventually sell all those Hawaiian pants he has in storage\, and if it’s good enough for Chet\, it’s good enough for me. Don’t want to oversell the book by claiming it’s up there with Melville and Joyce\, but when you want a tip-top tale\, Bernie is your guy and Chet can both tell a tale and wag one. This is no cutie-poo “cozy” mystery\, either. There’s some hard bark (as well as barking) here. Humor? Got it. First-class whodunit? Check. Good writing without any show-off bells & whistles? Yes and yes. I could go on and on\, but as Chet so wisely says\, “No time for that now.” – Stephen King \nSpencer Quinn is the pen name of Peter Abrahams\, the Edgar-award winning author of many novels\, including the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Chet and Bernie mystery series\, Mrs. Plansky’s Revenge\, The Right Side\, and Oblivion\, as well as the New York Times bestselling Bowser and Birdie series for younger readers. He lives on Cape Cod with his wife Diana—and Dottie\, a loyal and energetic member of the four-pawed nation within. \nBooks will be for sale at this event. \nPlease register\, so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating

SUMMARY:Prospero’s America: John Winthrop Jr.\, Alchemy\, and Connecticut Culture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Walter W. Woodward\, Connecticut State Historian emeritus\, scholar\, author\, and former Professor\, UCONN \nThis talk is the antidote to the widespread belief that Puritans were dour and mean-spirited witch-hunters\, whose godly conservatism made them anti-tolerant\, anti-science\, anti-Indian\, and anti-business and commerce. It recounts the story of John Winthrop\, Jr.\, who was not only one of New England’s most important founders and the governor of Connecticut for 17 years\, but also a protector of accused witches\, a guardian of Indians singled out for genocide\, and the most renowned scientist in all the colonies\, who sought to use alchemy to make Connecticut a God-inspired scientific research laboratory. \nThis hitherto unknown story\, from the award winning book of the same name\, will make you reconsider what you thought you knew about early Connecticut and the English people who colonized it. \nBIO\nWalter W. Woodward is Connecticut State Historian emeritus. He served as the State Historian of Connecticut and a member of  the History Department at the University of Connecticut  from 2004 to 2022. He was the fifth person to hold the position of State Historian\, which was created in the 1930s in preparation for Connecticut’s 300th anniversary. He retired in July of 2022\, becoming Connecticut State Historian emeritus. Dr. Woodward is a scholar of Early American and Atlantic World history\, with an emphasis on Connecticut and New England. He is the author of five books\, the most recent of which is Creating Connecticut: Critical Moments That Shaped a Great State (Globe Pequot Press\, 2020). His book Prospero’s America: John Winthrop\, Jr.\,Alchemy and the Creation of New England Culture\, 1606-1676 (Omohundro Institute\, University of North Carolina Press\, 2010) won the Homer Babbidge Prize from the Association for the Study of Connecticut History\, and was a Choice magazine Outstanding academic title. \nProf. Woodward received his Ph. D. with Distinction from the University of Connecticut in 2001 He obtained his Master’s Degree in History from Cleveland State University\, and his B.A. in English from the University of Florida.  Prior to joining UConn\, he was a faculty member of the Department of History at Dickinson College in Carlisle\, PA. \n  \nAs State Historian emeritus\, Woodward continues to research\, write and share his love for the history of Connecticut and New England through the Today in Connecticut History program  and at TODAYINCTHISTORY.com\, musical performances with his group The Band of Steady Habits\, articles\, and public lectures.
