SUMMARY:Stone Footprints: The Wandering Plaque of 1911
DESCRIPTION:Join us this spring for a series of programs that shine a light on the experiences of different communities that have made the North End of Hartford their home over the last two centuries. Make sure to come early to view our newest exhibition\, Drawn Here: Stories from Hartford’s North End. \nOn March 26\, Jennifer Klau\, Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford\, will share an exciting new research project that illuminates the experiences of the Jewish immigrants that once made the North End of Hartford their home. \nAn enormous marble plaque from 1911\, serendipitously rediscovered in the basement of a Hartford school building\, sparked a fascinating research dive into long-demolished buildings\, extinct and extant community institutions\, continuity and change. The story of this slab of marble illustrates the comings and goings of Hartford’s Jewish community from its roots in the North End to its eventual and complete migration to the suburbs. The plaque’s journey from one building to another\, where it was abandoned for about 75 years as the community moved away\, is an example of rich heritage that can easily disappear and a hopeful story about recovering the past. This program was developed as a companion to the Making History\, Making Change Lecture Series\, organized by Smithsonian Affiliations. \nLearn more and stay tuned for Making History\, Making Change at the Connecticut Museum on May 7\, 2026.  \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Public Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org. \nThis program is free to attend! \nGET FREE TICKETS\nAbout Our Speaker \nJennifer Klau is the Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford.
