SUMMARY:Vets Town Hall

Non-veterans are encouraged to attend and listen. This event is non-political\, and all perspectives are valued. There will be no question-and-answer period or debate on American foreign policy.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - The Connecticut Yankee Occupation of St. Augustine\, FL\, 1862-1865
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation!\nFrom 1862-1865 the 7th\, 10th\, and 17th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry regiments occupied the “Ancient City” of St. Augustine\, Florida during the American Civil War. Their experiences with African Americans changed throughout the course of the war\, as government policy turned from a conciliatory approach to more stern measures. During this time\, Connecticut soldiers contended with the boredom of occupation duty\, the problem of feeding and sheltering African American refugees\, and the constant threat of guerrilla violence in the surrounding countryside. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Dr. Eric Paul Totten\, a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium grantee\, will discuss the eclectic experiences of the Connecticut Yankees in and around the Ancient City during the American Civil War.  Dr. Totten’s presentation will highlight a few interesting finds from the Connecticut Museum collection. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. Questions? Contact Public Programs Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nAbout the Speaker:  Dr. Eric Paul Totten completed his Ph. D. in 2020 at the University of Arkansas where he is currently an Instructor in the Department of History. He is the author of[] [/] “Civil-Military Communities in Conflict: The 1862 Occupation of St. Augustine\, Florida\, and the Politics of Emancipation\,” in G. David Schieffler and Matthew Smith eds. Hundreds of Little Wars: Community\, Conflict\, and the Real Civil War which will be published by LSU Press in 2025. \nImage: Joseph Roswell Hawley\, 1861-1865\, carte-de-visite by Prescott & Gage. 1910.5.1\, Connecticut Museum of Culture and History collection. \nTICKETS\nThis virtual event is free!

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - The Civilian Conservation Corps in Connecticut\, 1933–42
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation!\nAs a flagship program of the New Deal\, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was one of several federal agencies that turned to the natural and built environment to promote sociocultural homogenization between the First and Second World Wars. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Dr. James Fortuna will investigate the CCC’s role as an agent of national transformation and considers the links between the New Deal’s treatment of the American landscape and its promotion of a new\, more pluralistic national identity.  Dr. Fortuna will also highlight some of his findings within the special collections of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History throughout his time in residence as a 2024 NERFC fellow. \nIn assessing a few specific case studies from around the Nutmeg State\, it will become clear that the Corps acted as a key vehicle of the unifying message that drove the New Deal and its many so-called ‘alphabet agencies’ from the depths of economic depression to a state of preparedness as the country headed toward global war. Accordingly\, this talk considers the Corps’ role in the New Deal’s construction of popular historical consciousness and draws attention to the frequent interactions between a diverse range of urban-born enrollees and rural populations before concluding with a timely discussion of the legacy and ultimate fate of these structures. How\, if at all\, should they be preserved? Whose responsibility is it to decide? What value might they hold in the twenty-first century United States? \nIn previous publications\, Dr. Fortuna has argued that this agency played a more significant socio-cultural role than many historians have realized. His current book project\, tentatively entitled The Civilian Conservation Corps in New England\, 1933–42\, will expand on this idea by tracing the Corps’ impact on everyday Americans from Mystic to Maine. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link.  Questions? Contact Public Programs Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nAbout the Speaker:  Dr. James Fortuna teaches American history at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. He is a historian of the American experience with an interest in transatlantic and transpacific people\, places\, and spaces. His research focuses primarily on the twentieth century and is situated at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic history. \nImage: A young man’s opportunity for work\, play\, study & health / Bender; made by Illinois WPA Art Project\, Chicago.
