SUMMARY:Phelps-Hatheway Open Tour Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Step inside the museum to be transported to the 18th and 19th centuries and learn about the lives of those who built\, lived in\, and preserved the house. Stop into the visitor’s center for the Pastel Paintings exhibition by artist Gina Trusiewicz. With a longtime interest in art\, Trusiewicz developed her craft in an online class during the pandemic. Her interest in nature\, animals\, and plants\, combined with her certification as a Master Gardener\, has inspired her work–capturing everyday moments\, and the feelings they evoke\, in West Hartford or right from her own backyard.  \n \nSuffield native Shem Burbank built a center chimney structure in 1761 where he and his wife Anna Fitch Burbank raised nine children. Although well-appointed for the mid 18th century\, the Burbank house reflected conservative trends in design popular for the period. Financial hardship forced Burbank to sell his house to Oliver Phelps in 1788. The youngest of 17 children from neighboring Windsor\, CT\, Oliver Phelps was apprenticed to a Suffield merchant at an early age. During the Revolution\, he skillfully served as Deputy Commissary under George Washington. A budding land speculator after the War\, Phelps commissioned the addition of a substantial wing decorated with imported Parisian wallpaper in 1794. From the stylish new rooms\, Phelps peddled a vision of American expansion to New Englanders looking for a new life in the west. Phelps’ attempts to sell significant swaths of Seneca Nation land as part of Connecticut’s Western Reserve proved unsuccessful; within a decade\, his fortunes had collapsed. Understand the role of Connecticut in the American Revolution\, examine colonial era trade and commercial exchange\, consider land and real estate speculation and Indigenous people’s land rights\, and observe the ways we display wealth and status in our homes. \nRegister Now\n\nAdvance registration for tours appreciated\, but walk-ups welcome as space permits! House tours leave on the hour; last tour departs at 3 pm. \nIf you have any questions\, please email phelps.hatheway@ctlandmarks.org or call 860-668-0055. \nCTL Members\, please sign in to our ticketing system to access Member pricing and other benefits. \nA confirmation email with additional information will be sent to the email address used to reserve the tickets.

SUMMARY:Phelps-Hatheway Open Tour Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Step inside the museum to be transported to the 18th and 19th centuries and learn about the lives of those who built\, lived in\, and preserved the house. Stop into the visitor’s center for the Pastel Paintings exhibition by artist Gina Trusiewicz. With a longtime interest in art\, Trusiewicz developed her craft in an online class during the pandemic. Her interest in nature\, animals\, and plants\, combined with her certification as a Master Gardener\, has inspired her work–capturing everyday moments\, and the feelings they evoke\, in West Hartford or right from her own backyard.  \n \nSuffield native Shem Burbank built a center chimney structure in 1761 where he and his wife Anna Fitch Burbank raised nine children. Although well-appointed for the mid 18th century\, the Burbank house reflected conservative trends in design popular for the period. Financial hardship forced Burbank to sell his house to Oliver Phelps in 1788. The youngest of 17 children from neighboring Windsor\, CT\, Oliver Phelps was apprenticed to a Suffield merchant at an early age. During the Revolution\, he skillfully served as Deputy Commissary under George Washington. A budding land speculator after the War\, Phelps commissioned the addition of a substantial wing decorated with imported Parisian wallpaper in 1794. From the stylish new rooms\, Phelps peddled a vision of American expansion to New Englanders looking for a new life in the west. Phelps’ attempts to sell significant swaths of Seneca Nation land as part of Connecticut’s Western Reserve proved unsuccessful; within a decade\, his fortunes had collapsed. Understand the role of Connecticut in the American Revolution\, examine colonial era trade and commercial exchange\, consider land and real estate speculation and Indigenous people’s land rights\, and observe the ways we display wealth and status in our homes. \nRegister Now\n\nAdvance registration for tours appreciated\, but walk-ups welcome as space permits! House tours leave on the hour; last tour departs at 3 pm. \nIf you have any questions\, please email phelps.hatheway@ctlandmarks.org or call 860-668-0055. \nCTL Members\, please sign in to our ticketing system to access Member pricing and other benefits. \nA confirmation email with additional information will be sent to the email address used to reserve the tickets.

SUMMARY:Queer Independence Discussion Panel
DESCRIPTION:Engage in a thought-provoking free community panel discussion on queer independence with Sam Avery\, Dean Massey\, and Clare McCarthy. Moderated by Lynette Fisher and Andy King\, this panel will offer the opportunity to connect with diverse voices from across generations as they reflect on past\, present\, and future LGBTQ+ resilience\, self-determination\, and community support. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect\, learn\, and celebrate the strength of queer identities. The Progress Flag Field Closing Ceremony will take place at 4 pm after the panel and final house tour. It will include readings and thoughts from our panelists. \nSamuel Avery Giardina is a 26-year-old photographer from Berlin\, Connecticut. As a transgender artist himself\, he’s dedicated his career to raising awareness for his community through his work. He started taking photos in 2020\, the year he started his transition\, and has since then found a passion for telling trans stories through his photography. He’s been able to capture his own journey through his self-portraits while using them as a driving force in creating advocacy for the trans community. He then started documenting other trans people’s experiences through his editorial photography work. \nDean Massey is an urban planning researcher at Northeastern University and lives in Providence\, Rhode Island. He has strong ties to Connecticut: he grew up in a small-town east of the river filled with historic cemeteries\, studied at Connecticut College\, and worked at the Connecticut General Assembly. In his spare time\, he enjoys visiting house museums\, tracking down gravestones by masters like Zerubbabel Collins\, and hiking in the woods. He has visited every Connecticut Landmarks property\, starting with the Nathan Hale Homestead as a child. Dean found his way to the Palmer-Warner House last year where he shared his love of cemetery history through Following Death: Cemetery Walk & Talk. Massey will return to lead Following Death again this year on October 25 – registration available soon! \nClare McCarthy is\, first and foremost\, an educator. A former Latin teacher of 33 years\, she is skilled at communicating complex and often unfamiliar material clearly and in engaging ways. She opened Transqat Enterprises\, a transgender advocacy business\, in 2022 to combat mis- and disinformation on the topic and to provide a safe space to learn. Clare produces and hosts Transqat the Podcast\, a series of long-form conversations with a wide array of exciting and informed guests. An engaging and thoughtful public speaker\, she works with organizations of all sorts to promote a better understanding of trans issues\, blending humor\, vulnerability\, research\, and lived experience. Clare is an author with Oliver Heber Books\, and she freelances as an authenticity reader with Penguin Random House. \n\nAndy King (he/they) is a museum interpreter for the Palmer-Warner House and the Hempsted Houses. They received their B.A. in History and M.A. in Public History from Central Connecticut State University. Andy worked at the LGBTQ+ Center and served as the Vice President of Pride Club\, hosting community events\, running trainings\, and providing resources for the campus’s queer community. For his M.A. capstone project\, he amended the National Register of Historic Places nomination form to include Frederic Palmer’s life and work in the site’s historic narrative. Andy manages interpreters at Mystic Seaport Museum and volunteers for Stonington Pride. \nPassionate about the LGBTQ+ community\, Lynette Fisher is the Site Administrator for Connecticut Landmarks Southeast Region\, which includes the Palmer-Warner House\, Hempsted Houses\, and Amasa Day House. \n\nRegister Now\n\nRegistration includes admission to the Letters of Unity exhibit. House tours must be booked separately; see our website for details.\nIf you have any questions\, please contact palmer.warner@ctlandmarks.org.  \nCTL Members\, sign in to our ticketing system to access your benefits.
