This Saturday, June 10 the museum will be open as part of Connecticut Open House Day with free admission from 10 to 2. You will have a chance to view our award-winning exhibit, A Vanished Port: Middletown & the Caribbean, 1750-1824 and stroll in our beautiful gardens.
This year we have an added treat. Musician and independent scholar Gabriel Kastelle will be with us to share programming developed from his research on Brothertown Indian Nation singing traditions. Throughout the day, he will be repeating musical-interpretive performance presentations highlighting the many connections between the Brothertown Indians and local and CT history. The center of these miniature presentations will be the performing of his own composed arrangements for solo violin of tunes from Thomas Commuck's 1845 shape-note tunebook Indian Melodies.
