Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a unique living history program!
The Norwalk Historical Society presents a special Valentine’s Day program featuring historical interpreters Michael and Maria Grillo, who will bring to life the romance of our country’s first “First Couple.” Discover the story of George and Martha’s courtship and enjoy fascinating insight into 18th-century courting customs among America’s upper classes.
As Michael notes, “bringing characters out of the pages of history and breathing life into them” helps audiences better understand historical events by allowing them to “see, touch, or feel the past.”
