Betsy Paterson Square

The Ballard Institute is excited to present free, outdoor, family-friendly puppet shows on three Saturdays in July at 11 a.m. on Betsy Paterson Square in Downtown Storrs. This summer’s series includes the following exciting shows:
July 11: SpinS by Janoah the Jester - A wildly dizzying whirl of juggling, giggling magic, movement, and puppetry, with a pajama-clad unicyclist playing with clothes-pin towers, erratic toothbrushes, and piles of props in a solo circus that will create gargantuan grins.
July 18: Sing-A-Long with Nappy's Puppets - Join in the fun as famed Connecticut puppeteer Jim Napolitano of Nappy’s Puppets presents some of the silliest sing-a-long songs known to mankind.
July 25: Fairies of the Seasons by Talking Hands Theatre - Talking Hands Theatre presents this magical puppet show set on a handmade dress that twirls as the year turns. Beautiful fairy puppets and hand-felted animals invite the audience to move, sing, and help the fairies find their way back to the season where each one belongs. 
Reservations are not required. Audience members are encouraged to bring their own blankets and seating. In case of rain, the shows will take place in the Ballard Institute Theater at 1 Royce Circle in Downtown Storrs.

<h2>Mansfield's First Century - Old Town Hall</h2>
Our exhibit commemorating the 250TH Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Located in the Old Town Hall. Curated by Joseph Mumley, Ann Galonska, and Jon Crane.
Explore Mansfield's 18th century history as an agricultural community and its active participation in the American Revolution. This exhibit follows the town's response to the Lexington Alarm, the men serving on the frontlines of Bunker Hill and the New York campaigns, and the home front community that supplied and fed the soldiers, their families, and the fight for independence.
<hr>
<h2>Mid-Century Modern Architecture in Mansfield, 1945-1975 - Old Town Office</h2>
Curated by Bruce &amp; Donna Clouette.
In the 30 years following the end of World War II, a new style of architecture captured the imagination of Americans ready for a future that looked forward to better times. Then usually called “Contemporary,”&nbsp; the style today is known as Mid-Century Modern.
This exhibit presents some of the notable Mid-Century Modern buildings that give a distinctive character to Mansfield’s built environment, with special attention given to Techbuilt houses, one of the period’s most successful partly prefabricated designs, and to the houses designed by Robert Carroll May, a gifted architect who for three years had worked for Frank Lloyd Wright.
