SUMMARY:The Dark Treason of Benedict Arnold
DESCRIPTION:Join us online with our guest\, University of Maryland historian Richard Bell\, as he reconstructs the life and times of Benedict Arnold\, the reasons for his treason\, and the larger problems of betrayal and desertion that dogged the Continental Army throughout the war. \nBenedict Arnold is the most famous turncoat in American history. He was a skilled officer in George Washington’s Continental Army\, a general who led patriot forces to several important victories over the British\, including the capture of Fort Ticonderoga. But while in command at West Point in 1780\, Arnold began secretly communicating with British intelligence agents\, giving them insider information\, not just about the fort and its defenses\, but about American strategy for the war. \nWhen patriot militia captured a British spy named John André\, they discovered Arnold’s treachery—Alexander Hamilton said it was “the blackest treason” he could imagine. A manhunt ensued\, but Arnold made it to the safety of a British ship (the aptly named Vulture). In the aftermath\, George Washington had John André\, the British spy tried. A board of Continental soldiers found him guilty and sentenced him to death by hanging. In the meantime\, Arnold returned to the field of battle. Now wearing a British uniform\, he led brutal attacks on patriot civilian communities in Virginia and Connecticut throughout 1781. \nThis program will take place online using Zoom. Click here to register. $8 per household. \nWhen you register\, you’ll receive a confirmation email. The Zoom link will be in the attached .pdf. We will also email you a reminder with the link the day of the program/ \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout Our Speaker \n \nDr. Richard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland. He holds a PhD from Harvard University and has won more than a dozen teaching awards\, including the University System of Maryland Board of Regents Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching. He has held major research fellowships at Yale\, Cambridge\, the Library of Congress and is the recipient of the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship and the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar Award. Professor Bell is author of the new book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home\, which was shortlisted for the George Washington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize.

DESCRIPTION:Join us online with our guest\, University of Maryland historian Richard Bell\, as he reconstructs the life and times of Benedict Arnold\, the reasons for his treason\, and the larger problems of betrayal and desertion that dogged the Continental Army throughout the war. \nBenedict Arnold is the most famous turncoat in American history. He was a skilled officer in George Washington’s Continental Army\, a general who led patriot forces to several important victories over the British\, including the capture of Fort Ticonderoga. But while in command at West Point in 1780\, Arnold began secretly communicating with British intelligence agents\, giving them insider information\, not just about the fort and its defenses\, but about American strategy for the war. \nWhen patriot militia captured a British spy named John André\, they discovered Arnold’s treachery—Alexander Hamilton said it was “the blackest treason” he could imagine. A manhunt ensued\, but Arnold made it to the safety of a British ship (the aptly named Vulture). In the aftermath\, George Washington had John André\, the British spy tried. A board of Continental soldiers found him guilty and sentenced him to death by hanging. In the meantime\, Arnold returned to the field of battle. Now wearing a British uniform\, he led brutal attacks on patriot civilian communities in Virginia and Connecticut throughout 1781. \nThis program will take place online using Zoom.

SUMMARY:Maanudam Parai Team Virtual Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us and the Maanudam Parai Team for our third and final virtual concert on September 24 at 7:00PM! Chat with fellow concert-goers during the YouTube Concert Premiere at: https://youtu.be/cgQi66-RhWM. \nThe country of India is home to many rich regional cultures\, ethnicities\, and languages. Tamil language and culture have ancient roots in India’s state of Tamil Nadu as well as neighboring Sri Lanka. We are fortunate to have a vibrant Tamil community here in Connecticut. Spread across the state\, this cultural community keeps ties with teachers in Tamil Nadu and the United States. They work together to invigorate their cultural heritage art forms\, including Bharathaanaatiyam classical dance\, Villupaattu storytelling\, and Tamil folk dance like Kummi\, Kaavadi\, and Karagam. One of the most important art forms is playing parai\, a frame drum played with two sticks. \nThis third virtual concert features the Maanudam Parai Team (maanudam means “humanity”)\, along with performers from within Connecticut’s Tamil community. They also share the generous contributions of teachers and scholars who richly contextualize the history of parai drumming and the political position they take by embracing and promoting parai at this moment in time. \nThis concert series is made possible with generous funding from the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee. Additional program support comes from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD\, and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. \nTo learn more about Maanudam Parai\, see: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010615869906

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Equine Atlantic: New England’s Horse Trade to the West Indies in the Eighteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual presentation by Dr. Charlotte Carrington-Farmer.  Dr. Carrington-Farmer is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who has been conducting research at the CMCH this summer. \nFrom the late seventeenth century through to the end of the eighteenth century\, countless New England vessels braved the eighteenth-century Atlantic in a quest for profit by delivering horses to the sugar colonies in the West Indies. In this virtual talk\, Dr. Carrington-Farmer will explore why New England emerged as a breeding ground for horses\, and how it came to dominate the equine trade to the sugar colonies. New England’s horse breeding and trading success were tied to the wider currents of rival empire building through the markets for sugar and slaves.   \nIn 1732\, the anonymous pamphlet\, The British empire in America lamented that the British sugar colonies “will soon be reduc’d to a Condition too wretched to be name\, and an End be put to the British Empire in America.” Others\, ranging from Members of Parliament to merchants\, described how New Englanders undermined the British sugar colonies of Barbados and Jamaica through readily providing the French and Dutch colonies with horses. New England merchants were not concerned with upholding the empire; they simply wanted to make money by shipping horses to wherever they would make the most profit. Building upon the so-called “animal turn in history\,” this presentation will reimagine Atlantic history through centring non-human animal experiences. \nThis virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program. \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org. \nImage: Horses operating the sugarcane crushing mill: Comble de Moulin\, New York Public Library \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Charlotte Carrington-Farmer is an Associate Professor of History at Roger Williams University\, and she specialises in early American History. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 2010. From her dissertation\, she published a biography of Thomas Morton in: Atlantic Lives: Biographies that Cross the Ocean (Leiden and Boson: Brill\, 2014.) Her interest in dissent in seventeenth-century New England also led to her publishing a chapter entitled: ‘Roger Williams and the Architecture of Religious Liberty\,’ in Jahid Hossain Bhuiyan and Darryn Jenson eds.\, Law and Religion and the Liberal State (Oxford: Hart Publishing\, 2020.)   \nDr. Carrington-Farmer has a keen interest in equine history in the early modern Atlantic World. Her research examines the breeding and export of horses from New England to West Indies and South America and its intersection with enslaved lives and labour. She has published an article entitled ‘The Rise and Fall of the Narragansett Pacer\,’ Rhode Island History\, Winter/Spring 2018\, Volume 76\, Number 1.  She has also written a chapter entitled: ‘Trading Horses in the Eighteenth Century: Rhode Island and the Atlantic World\,’ in Kristen Guest and Monica Mattfeld\, eds.\, Equine Cultures: Horses\, Human Society\, and the Discourse of Modernity\, 1700-Present (Chicago: University of Chicago Press\, 2019)\, which won the ACRL Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title Award 2019.  \nIf you would like to make a donation to help the CMCH keep history alive\, please click here.

SUMMARY:CCHAP Summer Concert Series: The Vox Hunters\, with Jerry Bryant
DESCRIPTION:The 4th and final concerts of our annual summer concert series will be New England maritime and sea chanteys with the Vox Hunters and Jerry Bryant. \nThis concert will take place on the beautiful CMCH lawn. Grounds are open for seating and picnicking from 5 PM\, and music is from 6PM – 7PM. All of the CMCH outdoor concerts are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food\, and a food truck will be available onsite. In case of rain\, the concerts will move indoors to our auditorium. \nThese concerts will also be live streamed\, more information to come. \n \nJerry Bryant is a singer and scholar whose specialty is in maritime music\, especially the last several hundred years of traditional work music. He accompanies himself on various instruments\, including concertina\, guitar\, banjo\, ukulele\, and bones. Through his thorough knowledge of the history and language of sea shanties and period songs\, he is able to explain what type of work different songs were used for\, connecting historic songs to contemporary understanding. He also has composed new songs in historic styles\, is a regular fixture at New England music festivals and workshops\, as well as locations around the United States and Canada. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nThe Vox Hunters are specialists in the old music of Rhode Island\, combining historical interests with contemporary interpretation and innovation. Benedict Gagliardi and Armand Aromin are both multi-instrumentalists who cultivate local social music gatherings in addition to keeping traditional music vibrant. In 2019\, Jerry Bryant mentored Benedict and Armand in CCHAP’s Southern New England Apprenticeship Program for traditional arts. Jerry helped them deepen their knowledge of local maritime music. At this concert\, we want to bring this team together again to show off not only their newfound sea shanty knowledge and song specialties\, but to share how songs that have transitioned from worksong to entertainment still function as a valuable resource to community life. \n  \n  \nTo learn more about these artists\, see: \nhttps://thevoxhunters.com/\nhttps://jerrybryantsings.com/ \nThe 2021 season of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s outdoor concert series presents the work of the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program (CCHAP)\, a statewide initiative that documents diverse cultural traditions and shares the artistic creations and community cultural practices of folk artists living throughout Connecticut.

SUMMARY:CCHAP Summer Concert Series: The Vox Hunters\, with Jerry Bryant
DESCRIPTION:The 4th and final concerts of our annual summer concert series will be New England maritime and sea chanteys with the Vox Hunters and Jerry Bryant. \nThis concert will take place on the beautiful CMCH lawn. Grounds are open for seating and picnicking from 5 PM\, and music is from 6PM – 7PM. All of the CMCH outdoor concerts are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food\, and a food truck will be available onsite. In case of rain\, the concerts will move indoors to our auditorium. \nThese concerts will also be live streamed\, more information to come. \n \nJerry Bryant is a singer and scholar whose specialty is in maritime music\, especially the last several hundred years of traditional work music. He accompanies himself on various instruments\, including concertina\, guitar\, banjo\, ukulele\, and bones. Through his thorough knowledge of the history and language of sea shanties and period songs\, he is able to explain what type of work different songs were used for\, connecting historic songs to contemporary understanding. He also has composed new songs in historic styles\, is a regular fixture at New England music festivals and workshops\, as well as locations around the United States and Canada. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nThe Vox Hunters are specialists in the old music of Rhode Island\, combining historical interests with contemporary interpretation and innovation. Benedict Gagliardi and Armand Aromin are both multi-instrumentalists who cultivate local social music gatherings in addition to keeping traditional music vibrant. In 2019\, Jerry Bryant mentored Benedict and Armand in CCHAP’s Southern New England Apprenticeship Program for traditional arts. Jerry helped them deepen their knowledge of local maritime music. At this concert\, we want to bring this team together again to show off not only their newfound sea shanty knowledge and song specialties\, but to share how songs that have transitioned from worksong to entertainment still function as a valuable resource to community life. \n  \n  \nTo learn more about these artists\, see: \nhttps://thevoxhunters.com/\nhttps://jerrybryantsings.com/ \nThe 2021 season of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s outdoor concert series presents the work of the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program (CCHAP)\, a statewide initiative that documents diverse cultural traditions and shares the artistic creations and community cultural practices of folk artists living throughout Connecticut. The concert series is generously supported by the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Reception: Albert's Odd Jobs: Making a Living in the 1800s
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person opening reception for the exhibition\, Albert’s Odd Jobs: Making a Living in the 1800s. \nAlbert Walker was a 19th century farmer – and amateur magician – living in Glastonbury\, Connecticut. Through his myriad odd jobs\, Walker illustrates a pivotal moment in Connecticut history. Changes in technology\, economics\, and labor during the Industrial Revolution redefined work and leisure\, raising questions that we are still asking today. This exhibition explores those questions\, using Walker’s diaries\, objects\, and ephemera to better understand the personal experience of finding and keeping work in an evolving market\, pursuing passions and upholding obligations\, and maintaining a foothold in a shrinking industry. It invites visitors to think about their own experiences and to use the past to inform their present. \nPlease let us know you will be able to join us by September 1. Click here to RSVP. Remarks begin at 5:45pm. \nMagician Jim Sisti will entertain us with some magic during the reception! \n \n  \nImage: Clock repair toolbox belonging to Albert Walker. CMCH collection\, The Newman S. Hungerford Museum Fund\, 2007.4.2 \nWe thank our members and donors for making exhibitions like this possible!
