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. Parks will deliver Founding Mothers\, a lecture about women in Wethersfield and across the colonies who made significant contributions to the American Revolution. Despite Abigail Adams famously exhorting her husband and his fellow Founding Fathers to\, “…remember the ladies\,” history has largely forgotten their efforts. This lecture shares the extraordinary stories of notable women across the nation (Martha Washington\, Mercy Otis Warren\, Polly Cooper\, and others) who helped America win its independence. \nAt Keeney Memorial Cultural Center\, 200 Main Street\, Wethersfield. 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.
