Enjoy an afternoon’s vocal and instrumental performance at Hartford’s Isham-Terry House by Andrew Wilcox (piano) and Mae Czuba (vocals) to hear the late-19th and early-20th century songs that would have filled the Ishams’ parlor, drawing upon the sheet music in the Isham-Terry collection and representing the lives and interests of the household’s amateur musicians. The performers will play music from the collection, and sheet music will be on display during the event! This event will be held on Sunday, November 10th from 2 pm-3 pm.

The artwork pictured is from the covers of the early 20th century sheet music from the Isham Family collection. “The Angle Worm Wiggle” cover features Sophie Tucker, known as “The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas,” who grew up in Hartford and paved the way for other female performers.

October marks the 88th anniversary of Connecticut Landmarks, originally known as the Antiquarian & Landmarks Society. Since October 15, 1936, our organization has been dedicated to preserving and interpreting the 11 historic properties and collections in our care.

Much has changed over the course of 88 years, but our commitment to inspiring an understanding of our complex past through our historic sites remains central to all we do. Our programs and tours have welcomed visitors to our historic sites to explore the lives of Connecticut residents, connect with their ancestors, share historically marginalized stories, learn new skills, and feel empowered to use the lessons of the past to make the world a better place today. We’re eager to continue welcoming families, friends, and history-lovers to our historic properties, programs—new additions and beloved favorites—and share with you the exciting preservation efforts to come.
