SUMMARY:Enslaved for Life: A Research Update on the Life of Prince Mortimer with John Mills
DESCRIPTION:***WE HAVE REACHED FULL CAPACITY FOR THIS PROGRAM. Thank you for your interest.*** Community Historian John Mills returns with a detailed update on his extensive research into the life of Connecticut’s Prince Mortimer\, a slave from Guinea who was brought to New England in 1730 when he was six years old and died at the age of 110 in 1834 while serving a life sentence at the Wethersfield prison. John will also talk about several upcoming projects surrounding individuals with similar untold stories. FREE. \n6-6:30pm Wine and Cheese Reception (A suggested donation of $5 is welcomed.) \n6:30-7:30pm Presentation \nAbout John \nOriginally from San Diego\, John Mills is a technologist by trade\, but a genealogist and equity advocate by passion. The descendant of both southern and northern slaves\, as well as the descendant of slave holders due to their relationships with female slaves\, John focuses on unearthing little known people and stories of this country’s history in slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. John’s goal is honor the forgotten\, as well as to apply critical thinking to our history as a means to find solutions to the many ripple effects today.

SUMMARY:Connecticut's Historic Gardens Day
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy complimentary refreshments\, guided tours of the Amy Cogswell Colonial Revival Garden\, and a free garden talk with the Museum’s Head Gardener Peter Winne. Connecticut’s Historic Gardens Day guests will save $1 off the price of regular museum admission for our guided historic house tours and exhibitions in the Holcombe Education Center. \nAt 1 p.m. Head Gardener Peter Winne will talk about garden maintenance using examples from the Webb Deane Stevens Museum grounds. He will discuss tasks such as site preparation\, dividing perennials\, pruning\, deadheading\, and mulching\, presented in a month-by-month framework. During his talk\, Peter will provide homeowners with many useful tips on how they can make their own gardens look as beautiful as the Museum’s! \nAfter finishing a degree in urban planning\, Peter Winne spent his twenties pursuing a career in music while working gardening jobs on the side to support himself. In his thirties\, music became a hobby and gardening a vocation when he took a job as Head Gardener at Elizabeth Park in Hartford. After five seasons in the nation’s oldest public rose garden\, he started his own garden design business based in Greater Hartford. \nOur garden is one of 16 distinctive historic gardens in Connecticut!
