SUMMARY:LECTURE | Portraits of Patriots with Historian Damien Cregeau
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets \nLECTURE | Portraits of Patriots with Historian Damien Cregeau \nThursday\, June 25 \, 7:00 PM \nOne man painted the Revolution. Another held the Bible at Washington’s inauguration. And both have deep Connecticut roots. \nJoin us for Portraits of Patriots\, a richly illustrated presentation tracing six extraordinary lives from the American Revolution—beginning with Colonel John Trumbull\, who left the battlefield to become the young republic’s defining visual chronicler. Through Trumbull’s paintings and the work of his gifted sister Faith Trumbull Huntington\, Cregeau brings an entire family into focus: soldiers\, artists\, and survivors bound together by war and ambition. \nAt the center of it all: Samuel Webb of Wethersfield. Aide-de-camp to both Generals Putnam and Washington. Veteran of Bunker Hill. The man who held the Bible as George Washington took the oath of office in 1789. \n\nMeet the Author | Purchase a copy of Portraits of Patriots on-site and get your book personally signed. \n\n\n\n\nTickets: $15 |$12.50 Virtual | $10 Members \n*This lecture will be offered in person and via Zoom. Zoom link will be provided in advance of the lecture. \nDamien Cregeau | Damien Cregeau earned his B.A. in history from Hillsdale College and M.A. in history from Colorado State.
