Free event but please consider making a donation to the Norwalk Historical Society.\nPlease Note: All visitors will be required to wear masks regardless of vaccination status when inside the Mill Hill Historic Park buildings. The buildings at Mill Hill Historic Park are City of Norwalk property and masks are required inside all City of Norwalk buildings. \nThis presentation will bring the audience back in time and reveal what archaeology has found about the history and cultural lifeways of the First Americans. Archaeological digs conducted in and around Norwalk will be discussed. Artifacts from local digs will accompany the program\, and the audience is encouraged to bring artifacts that they may have found on the beach\, along rivers and streams or while digging in the garden. \nTwelve thousand years ago\, southern New England had emerged from a covering of glacial ice. In this cold climate\, an environment far different than the present existed. Ice age animals such as the mammoth\, mastodon and caribou roamed the newly-deglaciated land\, as did the first Native Americans to enter the Northeast. The way of life of these early peoples\, and the adaptations their descendants made as the environment continued to change\, have been the focus of much interest and archaeological research for several decades. \nThis program is in conjunction with the Norwalk Historical Society’s new exhibit\, “Norwalk’s Changing Communities – 13\,000BC – 1835”\, which was funded in part by grants from Connecticut Humanities and the City of Norwalk Historical Commission. The new exhibit will be on view! \nMill Hill Historic Park is located at 2 East Wall Street in Norwalk\, CT. Handicapped and limited mobility parking on site. General parking is at the HSC building on the corner of East Wall Street and Park Street. Follow blue parking signs. \nAbout the Presenter\nErnie Wiegand has taught at Norwalk Community College since 1975\, when the college’s unique “Archaeology as an Avocation” certificate program was initiated. Students in the program have worked on many pre-contact period Native American sites as well as several historic period sites\, including the Rogers-Ritch-Merritt house in Norwalk. He received a Masters degree in anthropology from Hunter College in 1982 and has been the Archaeology as an Avocation program coordinator since 1990. In addition to his teaching duties\, he has been the faculty advisor to the NCC Archaeology Club\, which has not only conducted archaeological investigations of local sites but has brought archaeology to the public through its program meetings (which are open to the public) and special community outreach projects. He also serves as a consultant for both public and private land-use projects that may have an impact on archaeological sites. \n  \nNorwalk Historical Society Museum Visitor Guidelines\nThe health and safety of our visitors\, volunteers\, and staff are our highest priority.

SUMMARY:Pudd’nheads: Childhood In Colonial America – Virtual Lecture (New Date)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 3\, 2022 at 5:30pm via ZoomTickets: $5.00 per household \n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\nThe Zoom link will be included at the bottom of your confirmation email under Additional Details. The Zoom link will also be posted on the Online Event page on Eventbrite and emailed to you 24 hours and 1 hour before the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPudd’nheads: Childhood In Colonial America Examines The Unique Aspects Of Childhood Between The Late Sixteenth And Late Eighteenth Centuries. The Presentation Explores Birthing And Childrearing Practices\, Parenting\, Children’s Health And Education\, Naming\, Gender\, Play\, And Rites Of Passage. \n\n\n\nPudd’nheads provides fresh historical perspectives on key features of children’s lives. Without a doubt\, the lives of Native American children\, Enslaved children\, and Puritan children differed greatly. Velya Jancz-Urban – author\, teacher\, and creator of The Not-So-Good Life of the Colonial Goodwife – has partnered with her herbalist daughter\, Ehris Urban\, on this unique presentation. Pudd’nheads: Childhood in Colonial America is similar to The Not-So-Good Life of the Colonial Goodwife in that it is funny\, sad\, sweet\, and shocking.  \n\n\n\nThis program is in conjunction with the Norwalk Historical Society’s new exhibit\, “Norwalk’s Changing Communities – 13\,000BC – 1835”\, which was funded in part by grants from Connecticut Humanities and the City of Norwalk Historical Commission. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters:\n\n\n\nEhris Urban\, owner of Woodbury\, CT’s Grounded Holistic Wellness\, believes\, “if you’re grounded\, you can navigate even the bumpiest roads in peace.” She grew up in a family passionate about holistic medicine. Ehris is a green witch\, herbalist\, holistic nutritionist\, and graduate of the New England School of Homeopathy. Additionally\, Ehris is a Flower Essence Therapy practitioner. She became interested in Reiki as a teenager and attained Reiki Master certification at age 17. Ehris is also a certified Ingham Method reflexologist. A graduate of Western Connecticut State University with a B.A. in Anthropology/Sociology\, she is also a certified ESL teacher. Ehris enjoys beekeeping\, tending her organic vegetable and herb gardens\, and working in her apothecary. \n\n\n\nVelya Jancz-Urban lives her life by the adage\, “there is no growth without change.” Zany and gregarious\, she is a teacher\, author\, former Brazilian dairy farm owner\, and herstory unsanitized expert. Moving into a 1770 Connecticut farmhouse ignited Velya’s obsession with the colonial era\, and led to her entertainingly-informative presentation\, The Not-So-Good Life of the Colonial Goodwife. She has been married to Jim for 38 years and is the mother of two grown children. Velya has a few too many rescue dogs and cats\, is happiest with a fresh stack of library books\, loves thrift shops\, and is passionate about alternative medicine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Norwalk Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

The Zoom link will also be posted on the Online Event page on Eventbrite and emailed to you 24 hours and 1 hour before the event. \nHosted by the Norwalk Historical Society and the Weston Historical Society \n\nCalling all antique car enthusiasts! Join us for the virtual lecture\, “Classic Cars: The History of the James Melton Museum\,” with guest presenter John J. O’Leary. \nLearn about James Melton\, ‘America’s Favorite Tenor’ and former Weston\, CT resident\, who assembled one of the country’s prized collections of antique cars\, and in 1948 opened the James Melton Museum of Antique Automobiles just off the Merritt Parkway in Norwalk\, CT. Presenter John J. O’Leary will share the history as well as unpublished photos of Melton’s famous museum\, highlighting the vast collection of unique automobiles\, as well as dive into a family connection O’Leary has to Melton’s former friend and personal car restorer\, Gus Reuter. A question and answer session will conclude the lecture. \n \nAbout the Presenter: \nJohn J. O’Leary IV has a unique connection to the James Melton Museum. His wife’s grandfather (Gus Reuter of Reuter’s Coach Works) restored the cars in Melton’s famous collection. O’Leary has spent the past decade organizing unpublished images of Melton’s cars and other items that Melton gave to Reuter like awards and signed photos. O’Leary’s goal is to visually re-create both the Melton Museum (1948 – 1953) and the James Melton Autorama (1953 – 1961) through old photos and various ephemera from those who visited both locations five decades ago. \nAs an adjunct faculty member at the University of Hartford and Post University (Conn.)\, John O’Leary has taught a wide variety of courses in Business\, Economics\, Strategy and International Business at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He has worked on a variety of projects around the globe in cities like Prague\, Singapore\, Bangkok\, and Dubai for companies such as Pratt & Whitney\, OTIS elevator and Prague Studios.

His Farewell Tour to America celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Independence of the United States and Lafayette’s central role in the American Revolution. About Dr. Iris De Rode\, PhD Today\, as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of this visit and anticipate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, Dr. Iris de Rode will present her research on Lafayette and the other Frenchmen who helped secure American independence. Dr. de Rode will share insights from her discovery of the papers of Lafayette’s uncle\, the Marquis de Chastellux. As Major General of the French forces during the American Revolutionary War\, he worked closely with Lafayette. She will explore their cooperation and how both men spread American ideals upon their return to France. Focusing on this dynamic duo will illuminate Lafayette’s role\, the enduring legacy of the Revolution\, and place Lafayette’s visit to Norwalk in a broader historical context.

In Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits\, journalist Aaron Goldfarb goes on an adventure in vintage spirits. This is an intoxicating story of obsessives on the hunt for old bottles of whiskey\, tequila\, rum\, chartreuse— you name it—from estate sales\, grandpa’s liquor cabinet\, and out-of-the-way and inner-city liquor stores that may just have a case or a few bottles lying around in the basement. Dusty Booze mixes the history of our drinking culture and the Indiana Jones-meets-Simpsons Comic Book Guy adventures of the collectors\, including the hunt for rumored stash from a reclusive Hollywood legend. This is a buoyant\, thirst-triggering voyage into a unique subculture that has exploded in popularity in recent years. \n\nAaron Goldfarb has written 12 books\, including “Gather Around Cocktails: Drinks to Celebrate Usual and Unusual Holiday Drinks” and “Hacking Whiskey: Smoking\, Blending\, Fat-Washing\, and Other Whiskey Experiments.” In 2020\, he was honored as Cocktail & Spirits Writer of the Year at Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards. In 2022\, he co-wrote “Brand Mysticism: Cultivate Creativity and Intoxicate Your Audience” with booze branding maven Steven Grasse of Hendrick’s Gin fame. Goldfarb writes features for the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Esquire\, and VinePair\, where he serves as their writer-at-large. He lives in Brooklyn with family.
