SUMMARY:Founding Mothers
DESCRIPTION:May 14th\, 6:30pm. Lecture: Founding Mothers \nAs part of its American Revolution Program Series\, Wethersfield Historical Society presents historian Dr. Amanda Goodheart Parks.

Admission: $10 General Public; Free for current members of Wethersfield Historical Society. For more info visit\, www.wethersfieldhistory.org.

SUMMARY:Feuding Founders Collective
DESCRIPTION:May 16th\, 10:00am – 3:00pm. Feuding Founders Collective: The Untold Drama of Silas Deane\, John Jay\, and the Lees of Virginia \nThree sites. Three perspectives. Three stories of imperfect men trying to build something that had never existed before. \nThey were allies and rivals. Collaborators and critics. Sometimes all at once. This spring\, the Feuding Founders Collective launches at WDS — a multi-site series that strips the marble off the men who built the republic and asks what their struggles with polarization\, loyalty\, and public reputation can teach us about our own. Wethersfield kicks things off May 16\, with events at partner sites in New York and Virginia to follow. Stay tuned. \nTickets on sale March 2026.
