SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon on The CT Freedom Trail: The Three Firsts of Pvt. Leverett Holden\, CT 29th Regiment\, US Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Discover the story of one of Connecticut’s heroes! This talk will focus on research about Pvt. Leverett Holden who served in the CT 29th Connecticut Regiment Volunteer Infantry (Colored). Probably born in Vernon\, CT\, he worked in Hartford for a time. He moved to Avon before the Civil War and became a freedom seeker. The presentation uses primary and secondary documents to illustrate Holden’s life and explains the three “firsts” that make his story special. His grave in East Avon Cemetery is the 164th site on the CT Freedom Trail.   \nRegister here: https://bit.ly/CFT2023LeverettHolden \nWatch here: https://streamyard.com/watch/YSByacG6Fr8t

SUMMARY:Running for Office: Candidates\, Campaigns\, and the Cartoons of Clifford Berryman Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut’s Old State House will host “Running for Office: Candidates\, Campaigns\, and Cartoons of Clifford Berryman.” Election season in the modern era elicits a barrage of amusing and pointed memes – but historically\, editorial cartoons have swayed opinions and helped shape elections for generations! Clifford Berryman\, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist with The Washington Star and The Washington Post\, produced almost daily cartoons for over 50 years – from 1896 to 1949.  \nUnlike any other form of political commentary\, cartoons show altered physical traits and highlight minute details to make a specific point. With simple pen strokes\, they foreshadow the future\, poke fun at the past\, and imply hidden motives in ways that elude written or spoken reporting. This unique exhibit features a series of pen & ink drawings to highlight the timeless aspects of US campaigns and election processes. Running for Office was created by the National Archives with the support of the Foundation for the National Archives and organized for travel by Humanities Texas\, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nThis exhibit is part of Connecticut’s Old State House “Go Big. Vote Local.” Series. For information about other upcoming programs in the series\, return to our events calendar. \nExtended hours until 8:00 pm on select Thursdays. On street parking is free on weekends. Garage parking is available at State House Square Garage\, 55 Market Street\, for $5 with validation.
