SUMMARY:Before Salem: Witch Hunting in the Connecticut River Valley

The advent of witch hunting in New England was directly influenced by the English Civil War and the witch trials in England led by Matthew Hopkins\, who pioneered “techniques” for examining witches. This history examines the outbreak of witch hysteria in the Valley\, focusing on accusations of demonic possession\, and the role of the clergy. \nThis program is co-hosted by the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society\, West Hartford 250\, and the West Hartford Town Historian. \nAbout The Presenter: \nDr. Richard S. Ross\, is Professor Emeritus and former College Librarian at Trinity College\, Hartford Connecticut.

SUMMARY:THE ORIGINAL PROMISE OF AMERICA: “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL” 
DESCRIPTION:THE ORIGINAL PROMISE OF AMERICA: “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL”  \nJuly 10\, 2025 \nClick here to register for FREE! \nThis series of lectures will explore how the Revolutionary generation—Noah Webster’s generation—defined the purposes and prospects of their new nation. Noah will make occasional appearances; he played a considerable part in creating a distinctive national culture. But the talks won’t foreground him\, nor will they bask in nostalgia for a simpler\, more hopeful age. Studies of the past inevitably reflect the present; they can also illuminate paths into the future. While focusing on Revolutionary Americans’ thinking about the promise of the United States in its childhood\, we will consider as well how much of their vision has survived\, how much ought to be preserved\, and why. \nA few idealists claimed the American republic stood for the equal rights of all humankind.  So did a few Revolutionary propagandists\, among them the author of the Declaration of Independence. \nThe truth was otherwise.  White men claimed the lion’s share of all that America offered\, with little left over for the rest of humanity. \nPeople of color fared the worst.  Native Americans received nothing but broken pledges.  The new nations promised only bondage to the vast majority of its black residents.  By the time of the Revolution\, slaves made up 20% of the colonial population.   Jefferson and Washington each enslaved hundreds of Black people; even Franklin owned several servants.  Nor did any of these great men “remember the ladies” when laying the nation’s foundations\, as Abigail Adams famously urged her husband John to do. \nBut women and Black people knew America was very young and growing fast\, a country of the future.  From the beginning they claimed larger shares of American promises than their white male masters had ever dreamed of offering them. \n__________________________________________________________________ \n*Doors open to the presentation at 6:00pm\, and seating is on a first come-first served basis.  Seating is limited to 50 guests\, and registration is available now. \nAbout the Presenter: Gene Leach is a long-time resident of West Hartford and taught United States history and American Studies at Trinity College in Hartford until his retirement in 2012. Gene came to Trinity College in 1975 with degrees from Harvard\, Michigan\, and Yale; at various points in his long tenure\, he directed the American Studies Program\, chaired the History Department\, and directed the graduate programs in both fields. His scholarship has centered on American social thought and this country’s working class. Leach has written\, lectured\, and served on governing boards for several organizations devoted to Connecticut history and culture—including the West Hartford Historical Society!

SUMMARY:Flora: An Intimate Celebration | Photo Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society To Exhibit Works by Local Artist Jose Gaztambide  \n  \nThe Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society is delighted to present an exhibit featuring the photography of local artist Jose Gaztambide. Flora: An Intimate Celebration will launch at the Noah Webster House on May 1\, 2025. The exhibit showcases unique photographs that focus on the finer details found in nature. \n  \nJose Gaztambide is a West Hartford artist who developed an interest in photography in the late 1960s. After studying in New York at The New School\, Gaztambide returned to Puerto Rico in 1980 to teach Photography and Theory of Communication at the University of Puerto Rico (Rio Piedras campus)\, where he taught until 1997. In 1988\, he returned to school to get his PhD in Communication. \nGaztambide’s creative passion was reignited upon his discovery of digital cell phone photography\, which allowed him to be more creative and spontaneous with his photographs. Now\, Gaztambide takes inspiration from the natural world. He explains\, “Nature has its own rhythms and rules and demands respect and care. The more I learned\, the hungrier I was for more of her beauty.” When Gaztambide concentrated this focus\, his photographs began to represent his mission to further celebrate and understand nature. \nFlora: An Intimate Celebration invites viewers to pay attention to nature’s finer details.  Gaztambide’s photographs celebrate nature’s emerging forms\, colors\, and textures that are often overlooked.  Enjoy his humble celebration! \nJoin us for an Opening Reception of this exhibit at the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society on Thursday\, May 1 from 5:00pm-7:00pm. This exhibit will remain at the museum and can be seen by visitors through Monday\, June 30th.
