SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Connecticut Son: Oliver Wolcott Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation!\nOliver Wolcott Jr. (1760-1833) was the nation’s second Treasury Secretary and a key figure on the national stage during the Federalist administrations of Presidents George Washington and John Adams.  Upon his resignation from the federal government in 1800\, Wolcott prospered for many years as a private citizen\, and was later elected Governor of Connecticut\, serving for ten years. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Dr. John Lizzi will examine Wolcott’s contributions to both national and state government during his nearly forty years of public service\, as well as discuss to what extent Wolcott evolved politically during his long career. Wolcott’s success can be attributed to his steadfast commitment to his principles including personal integrity\, nationalism\, the need for a strong national government\, and the promotion of manufacturing and industry. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. \nQuestions? Contact Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGet Tickets\n  \nThank you to our series sponsors Camille and Gregory F.
