Meet the Mother-Daughter Team Changing the Climate Conversation!
Author &amp; Illustrator Meet &amp; Greet | Book Signing
What does it mean to be an "activist"? To us, it’s simple: it means taking action on the things you care about. It doesn’t have to be a BIG action to make a BIG difference.
Join us at Barnes &amp; Noble Blue Back Square, West Hartford on Sunday, May 31st (1–4 PM) to meet local mother-daughter duo Kimberly Haidinger and Luna Hansen!
We are on a mission to normalize activism and show middle-grade readers that their passions—whether in art, writing, or science—are exactly what the world needs right now.
Why you should stop by:
🎨 Meet the Teen Illustrator: My daughter Luna (a local high school freshman) will be sharing her original artwork and talking about how she uses her creativity to advocate for the environment.
🧠 The Climate &amp; Economics Challenge: Think you know your climate vocabulary? Take our quick quiz! Every kid who tries gets a raffle entry for a Barnes &amp; Noble gift card!
📖 Summer Brain Gain: Our books are designed to build the "power words" kids need to feel confident in the climate conversation. It's the perfect summer reading to prepare them for a lifetime of leadership.
We want to recruit a whole community of planet-helpers in West Hartford, Farmington, and all the surrounding communities!
Come meet like-minded families, get inspired, and grab your signed copies of the Climate Action Vocabulary Series.
We can’t wait to meet the next generation of changemakers!

Free and open to the public Wednesdays, 2-4:30 pm, and by appointment. On view through August 21.
Curated by Gillian Forrester, independent art historian, curator, and writer
The exhibition explores the long-established genre of the “Cries,” or the representation of street vendors “crying” or broadcasting their wares.
The chronological scope of the exhibition is between 1711, when the first edition of Marcellus Laroon’s Cryes of the City of London was issued, and the publication of John Thomson’s Street Life in London in 1877. &nbsp;The focus is primarily on British print culture, with the majority of the works published in and featuring London, but the exhibition includes works in other media and is transnational in scope.

As the nation’s only dual tribute show dedicated to the musical catalogs of both America and Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young, Wooden Horse delivers a masterclass in nostalgia that you won't find anywhere else.
Capturing the essence of these iconic acts requires more than just instruments; it requires a vocal chemistry that is rare to find. This powerhouse six-piece ensemble rises to the occasion, faithfully recreating the intricate, sun-soaked harmonies and lush arrangements that defined a generation. From the breezy, acoustic gallop of "Ventura Highway" to the complex, multi-movement masterpiece "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," every note is handled with surgical precision and soulful authenticity.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the "Sister Golden Hair" era or a devotee of the "Teach Your Children" spirit, Wooden Horse offers a seamless journey through some of the greatest chart-topping hits in music history.
Don’t miss your chance to see the only show that brings the spirit of these two legendary bands together for one unforgettable experience.

Historic Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington

Stanley-Whitman House

Stanley-Whitman House, a ca. 1720 National Historic Landmark in the heart of Farmington, Connecticut, is more than a museum; it is a living storybook of New England’s colonial past. For nearly a century, this house museum has welcomed visitors to step back in time and discover the rhythms of daily life in 18th- and early 19th-century Farmington. We offer guided house tours, seasonal programs, school field trips, and hands-on workshops that illuminate history through experience. From hearth cooking and foodways demonstrations to gravestone cleaning workshops and walking tours of Memento Mori Cemetery, each program brings to life the traditions, struggles, and resilience of early residents. Our growing America250 initiatives highlight Farmington’s role in the Revolutionary War, showcasing both well-known patriots and underrepresented voices, including women, Indigenous peoples, and African Americans. Our interpretive gardens, artist interventions, and rotating exhibits connect the past to the present, while our partnerships with local schools, historical societies, and cultural organizations deepen community impact. The Stanley-Whitman House also serves as a resource for genealogists, researchers, and heritage travelers who seek authentic connections to New England history. What makes us unique is the way we blend scholarship with storytelling, preservation with participation. Visitors don’t just learn history here; they touch it, taste it, and walk in its footsteps. Whether you join us for a house tour, attend a lecture, bring your students, or support us through membership and special events like our annual Progressive Dinner, you become part of a tradition of keeping history alive for future generations.
