SUMMARY:Women & War (Zoom Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Women have been involved in military conflicts from the beginning of time; some as warriors\, some as spies\, and others who made the munitions or simply called for peace. Connecticut women are among the finest and bravest who have stood for their cause – sometimes defying gender norms\, and often without the recognition they deserved. Connecticut Women Hall of Fame Inductees prove that women are just as tough as men and will inspire others to shatter gender barriers. Learn about a teenager who helped save Danbury during the Revolutionary War\, how Harriet Beecher Stowe sowed the seeds of conflict leading to the Civil War\, and how Margaret Bourke-White’s photography brought civilians to face to face with the war front for the first time. \nThis talk will be presented by Louisa Iacurci\, Interim Education Director\, Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame. Registration is required. \nAbout Louisa: \nLouisa has a master’s in education from American University in Washington\, D.C. Louisa’s 30 years of teaching experience ranges from kindergarten through adults. This experience includes both public and private school systems. Louisa has a passion for teaching and volunteers for the Literacy Volunteers of Valley Shore\, teaching English as a second language to adults. She enjoys bringing amazing women’s stories to life and encouraging all learners to be intrinsically motivated to love learning every day. Louisa resides in Madison\, Connecticut and loves Connecticut history!

SUMMARY:Amy Cogswell and the Webb Deane Stevens Colonial Revival Garden (Zoom Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Professionally designed gardens were uncommon in the early 20th century\, and female landscape architects extremely rare in a field that was traditionally dominated by men. Learn more about Amy Cogswell\, one of the first female landscape architects in the United States and designer of the Colonial Revival Garden at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum. Cogswell attended the first American institution for women studying in her field\, the Lowthorpe School of Landscape Architecture\, Gardening\, and Horticulture for Women\, in Groton\, Massachusetts. She graduated in 1916 and served as the school’s headmistress from 1916 – 1923. When hired by the NSCDA-CT in 1919\, Cogswell’s plans for the Webb House Garden included classical elements\, quaint arbors\, and a wide assortment of the “old fashioned” flowers that were popular in the early 1900s. Garden Angels Coordinator Ann Foley will share details about Cogswell and her vision\, the history of the garden\, and how today a team of dedicated volunteers assist in tending to this beloved community treasure. \nRegistration is required. \nAbout Ann: \nAnn Foley is the Garden Angels Volunteer Coordinator for the Webb Deane Stevens Museum\, a role she’s held for over 12 years. She leads a team of garden enthusiasts who assist head gardener Peter Winne in caring for the Museum’s gardens. She is also a former guide for the Museum. Ann plans the Garden Angels’ Annual Reception and festivities for the annual Connecticut’s Historic Gardens Day. She actively recruits new members and enjoys talking with visitors about her favorite plants in the garden\, including the flowering almond\, peonies\, verbena\, hostas\, and sea holly.

SUMMARY:Sarah Margu – A Child of the Amistad
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Women’s History Month\, we share the story of Sarah Margu\, performed by Museum Guide and Educator Tammy Denease. One of six children stolen from the shores of Africa\, Margu – along with 52 others – would be held captive on the schooner Amistad.  During the voyage into captivity\, Margu would miss the rite of passage (Sande Society) into adulthood in her native Mendeland (now Sierre Leone). The nightmarish voyage through the middle passage would change Margu forever. After gaining her freedom\, Margu went on to become the first African to graduate from college in America (Oberlin College\, Ohio). Experience with Tammy Denease this poignant voyage from childhood denial to adult autonomy. The performance will be preceded by a wine and cheese reception from 6-6:30 PM. \nNSCDA-CT and Museum Members: $10 / General Public: $15. Purchase tickets HERE. \nAbout Tammy Denease \nTammy Denease was born in Columbus\, Mississippi\, where she spent countless hours with her great-grandmother and grandmother. Her great-grandmother was a former enslaved person and lived to be 125\, and her grandmother lived to be a 100. Both were known storytellers and passed this gift along to their granddaughter. Tammy is the Executive Artistic Director of the Hidden Women Stage Company\, where she writes\, directs\, and produces plays about Black women hidden in history. In her position as Museum Educator\, Tammy instructs children through stories of Colonial History\, Health\, Medicine\, Slavery\, and Native History. When Tammy is not teaching\, she is the Outreach Director for the Connecticut Freedom Trail.
