SUMMARY:LECTURE | Roots & Rhythms (New Date TBD)

Contact rdumouchel@wdsmuseum.org to be notified when a new date is chosen.  \nRoots & Rhythms: A Garden Talk with Pete Winne Sunday\, June 28 | 11:30 AM | Webb Barn \nWhat does tending a garden have in common with playing a folk song? More than you might think. Join WDS head gardener Pete Winne for a one-of-a-kind presentation weaving together the art of horticulture and the art of musical expression—illustrated live with folk music. Part lecture\, part performance\, entirely unexpected. \nTickets: $15 | Children under 12 FREE \nOffered in celebration of Connecticut Historic Gardens Day. \nAbout Peter Winne | Hartford-based horticulturist Peter Winne designs and cares for gardens in public parks and on unique and historic residential properties in Connecticut and New York. He founded Peter Winne Gardens in 2021 after four years as Head Gardener at Elizabeth Park\, home of the nation’s oldest public rose garden. Pete apprenticed under rosarian Stephen Scanniello\, curator of the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden at New York Botanical Garden\, and has received additional mentoring from Michael Shoup of the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham\, Texas and Gregg Lowery of The Friends of Vintage Roses in Sebastopol\, California. He holds a BA in Urban Planning from Vassar College\, an MA from the Gallatin School at NYU\, and a Landscape Design Certificate from Naugatuck Valley Community College. Prior to going into horticulture full-time\, he performed in the US and Europe as a touring bluegrass musician. He currently lives in his hometown of Hartford where he still occasionally performs.

SUMMARY:CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT | Musick's Recreation: At-Home Musick-Making in Colonial New England
DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS\n  \nCHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT | Musick’s Recreation: At-Home Musick-Making in Colonial New England \nSaturday\, September 12\, 6:00 PM-7:00 PM \nBefore recorded sound\, music happened at home—played and sung by families\, friends\, and neighbors gathered in close quarters. This concert brings that tradition to our Waterman Room\, overlooking the garden\, with a performance by Lyracle\, an acclaimed ensemble specializing in historically informed vocal and viol music\, featuring mezzo-soprano Ashley Mulcahy and viola da gambist James Perretta. \nTogether they perform English songs and instrumental works that would have been familiar in colonial and early federal New England parlors\, connecting local history to the sound of the era. It’s a rare chance to hear chamber music the way it was designed to be experienced: in a small\, resonant room\, with the performers close enough to feel the music. \nTickets: $25 | $18 Members \n  \n\nAbout the Performers \nAshley Mulcahy\, mezzo-soprano\, is a graduate of the Voxtet program at the Yale School of Music and Institute of Sacred Music and has performed with Bach Collegium Japan\, the Boston Early Music Festival\, the Handel and Haydn Society\, and the Newberry Consort\, among others. \nJames Perretta\, viola da gamba\, is a Boston-based performer\, arranger\, and teacher who has appeared with the Boston Camerata and Nota Bene and twice participated in the Silkroad Ensemble’s Global Musicians Workshop. \nTogether\, Mulcahy and Perretta founded the ensemble Lyracle in 2018. \n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:SPECIAL EVENT | Witches and Tombstones Spooktacular
DESCRIPTION:Spooktacular Tickets \n\nMember tickets on sale July 1-9. General Admission tickets go on sale July 10.  \nSPECIAL EVENT | Witches and Tombstones Spooktacular | Oct 31\, 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM \nJoin us on a special Halloween night as we descend into the witching hour. Our Halloween Spooktacular is an immersive experience that will transport you through our haunted history. \nA Spirit Guide – arisen for one night only – will escort you to the Isaac Stevens house where you will meet our weeping widow and discover the macabre funerary practices of the 19th century – an unfortunate regular occurrence for the Stevens family. As you follow your Spirit Guide\, you will pass through the Ancient Burial Ground where they will delight you with tales of some of Wethersfield’s longest serving ghouls. \nAt the Buttolph-Williams House you will partake in the trial of an accused witch and witness first-hand the hysteria that overtook 17 th -century Connecticut Puritans and led neighbors to condemn neighbors to the hangman’s noose. Your final stop on this journey through haunted history is the Silas Deane House. Unfortunately\, you will have arrived just a bit too late for poor Mrs. Deane\, but her ghost may tell you of the dark history of 18 th -century medicine that sealed her fate. If you dare to linger\, your obliging guide will invite you to toast her soul with a spirited drink in the old house. The only tour to be given after dark\, this extended Witches and Tombstones tour will haunt you long after you’ve departed. \nTickets: Members: $50 | General Admission: $60 \nTours: Saturday\, October 31\, 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Each tour is limited to 20 souls. \nYou must be 18 years or older to participate in this tour.  Valid I.D. is required for all attendees. \nPlease note that this program lasts approximately 1.5 hours and requires the ability to walk some\ndistances over unpaved and uneven ground as well as standing for periods of time.
