Connecticut Museum of Culture and History

During the years prior to the Industrial Revolution, clothing was considered as necessary protection to the wearer, a store of value, and an outward expression of socioeconomic status. Today these garments provide us with an invaluable window into the material culture of past times
Using examples of men’s clothing from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History and other collections in the state, Henry Cooke will examine the interrelationship of fashion, commerce, politics, and technology that were responsible for creating these garments and how they help us to better understand the lives of Connecticut’s early citizens.
The Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s collection of men’s and women’s clothing is unique in the number, variety and quality items from the mid to late 18th century. Many of the garments are identified to their original wearers, who range from ordinary citizens to the colonial elite. Their lives would intersect and collide during the Revolutionary era, as Connecticut’s citizens struggled with the economic, social and military costs that also found their outward expression in their clothing, which was preserved as a reminder of that struggle.
This program is part of the Museum’s “Made to Last” series, which pairs items from our collection with modern day artisans who discuss change and tradition in their field of expertise.
This program is free, but spaces are limited. Get free tickets to reserve your spot!

The Mark Twain House & Museum

**THE MARK TWAIN CONNECTION:** The difference between the almost right word &amp; the right word is really a large matter–it’s the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. – Mark Twain (letter to George Bainton, 15 Oct 1888) **ABOUT THE TOPIC:** Samuel Johnson’s *Dictionary of the English Language* was published in 1755, just 21 years before the Declaration of Independence.

This event is presented in partnership with the Noah Webster House and West Hartford Historical Society. **ABOUT THE SPEAKER:** Celine Luppo McDaid is The Hyde Director and Curator of Dr Johnson’s House, London—“The House of Words” where Johnson completed his Dictionary of the English Language.

Middletown House Concert Series

Andrew VanNorstrand is a musician, singer, and songwriter based in Springfield, Vermont. He has performed on festival stages, concert halls, dance floors, and living rooms all over North America and beyond. With his brother Noah VanNorstrand, Andrew has and recorded with the popular dance band Great Bear and is now often on the road with progressive folk/roots quartet The Faux Paws. From the Rust Belt to the Blue Ridge, cold spring in New England to a summer’s night in Charlottesville, his original songs seek out beauty in the search and struggle for understanding. Andrew blends traditional folk, old-time, country, and Western swing with a deep appreciation of indie-roots-Americana and artists like Jeff Tweedy, Richard Thompson, Gillian Welch, Sufjan Stevens, and Townes Van Zandt. Rachel Bell is sought after for concerts, contra dances, French BalFolk dances, English country dances, workshops, and festivals. Her playing spans an enormous range of emotion, from nuanced and sensitive to exhilarating and powerful, pushing the boundaries of what is expected from an accordion. Rachel’s work is infused with a contagious enthusiasm for her instrument and a deep respect for the musical traditions she carries. She loves to create authentic connections with audiences everywhere—from packed, energized dance halls to small, intimate house concert settings. She is passionate about sharing with others the delight she finds in this music.$25 suggested donation

This is the one that leans fully into the season 😏 darker, a little witchy, and filled with pieces that feel right at home in October! You’ll find a mix of oddities, vintage, handmade work, and artists bringing work that really screams Halloween! 🎃🥹
As always, everything is curated with intention - no AI, no reseller junk, no mass produced crap. Just real work from small businesses and artists who care about what they’re creating.
There will be tattooing during the event by Yellow Pants Tattoo with flash available, plus the Taste Garden Cafe food truck and Caffeine Coven serving only the best drinks (yes, even the ones with the tiny marshmallow ghosts 👻).
The market takes place at Mill Street Marketplace, which has 80+ permanent indoor vendors, so there’s plenty to check out throughout the space while you’re there.
Also, Wethersfield in October just has a really specific feel to it. Main Street is filled with handmade scarecrows all month, and the whole town turns into a walkable fall backdrop with historic buildings, shops, and seasonal decor everywhere you look!
