In recognition of Black History Month, we invite you to join us for the One House, Two Worlds Tour on Saturday, February 25, and Sunday, February 26. The purpose of the One House, Two Worlds Tour is to start and/or continue the tough conversation about slavery in a setting that does not foster blame, shame, or guilt but, rather, provides a deeper understanding about the enslaved peoples at the Webb and Deane Houses.

In the Joseph Webb House, you will learn about the role that Black and Indigenous soldiers played in helping the Colonies attain their freedom. In the Silas Deane House, you will explore opulence and oppression under one roof and hear the stories of Hagar, Pomp, and Cloe – the enslaved people who worked for the Deane household.

The One House, Two Worlds Tour will be led by Museum educator and guide Tammy Denease. Tammy has worked at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum for nearly 20 years. In addition to helping develop education programs for the Museum, Tammy created the One House, Two Worlds program, which uses storytelling elements to bring to life the people who were enslaved at the Webb and Deane Houses. She is also the creative force behind Hidden Women Stage Company, where she brings to life on stage important yet hidden Black women in history. Tammy is also currently the Outreach Director for the Connecticut Freedom Trail.
