Stanley-Whitman House

Ye Olde Lebanon Towne Militia, Company 1775, camps on the historic grounds of the Stanley-Whitman House for a full afternoon of immersive Revolutionary War living history. The group portrays soldiers and civilians of Connecticut's Third Regiment, bringing both military and domestic life to the grounds: drills, inspections, beekeeping, a period surgeon, crime-and-punishment demonstrations, and hands-on musket drills for younger visitors. Farmington had its own men in that war: Bayze Wells, a Farmington sergeant whose journal of Continental Army service from 1775 to 1777 documents the same supply shortages, improvised rations, and winter hardships that the militia's interpreters bring to life on the grounds.
The encampment is free and open to the public. The historic house will be open for guided tours at regular admission rates. The Roots and Reflections painting exhibition by Rachael and John O'Shaughnessy is free to view in the Spear Classroom and Whitman Tavern, and the museum store will be open throughout the afternoon.

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!

In March 1775, Farmington resident Martha Cowles publicly confessed to serving British tea in violation of the Continental Association, the colonial boycott of British goods adopted by the First Continental Congress in 1774. Her words survive in the pages of the Connecticut Courant. On June 20, you can meet her.
The Stanley-Whitman House LiberTea Party begins with traditional tea service in the Whitman Tavern: tea, scones, and seasonal fruit, poured in the spirit of resistance. Guests then move to the Speare Classroom, where co-chair Jane Dalal presents the story of Farmington on the eve of the Revolution and the political stakes of something as ordinary as a cup of tea. Alyce Barlowski follows as Martha Cowles, bringing to life the moment when one Farmington woman's domestic act became a public confession of political consequence.
The afternoon closes with a guided tour of the historic 17th- and 18th-century gardens led by Andrea Donald and Dooryard Garden Society volunteers, exploring the plants that sustained colonial households and how the disruptions of war, trade, and boycott reshaped what Farmington families grew, gathered, and ate. Historic house tours are available throughout the afternoon at regular admission rates.
Every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to the preservation and interpretation of the Stanley-Whitman House gardens and grounds. Garden Bed Sponsorships at $250 are also available; contact averzosa@stanleywhitman.org for details.
Tickets are limited to 40 attendees and are available online through Eventbrite or by check to the museum. Early registration is encouraged as this event sells out.

decisions you make.
In this small-group experience, Solo Agers are invited to learn a 
little history of Tarot, the design and organization of the deck and its
 78 cards. We will sip tea with our solo ager peers as our presenter, 
Linda Poland, shares her insights into Tarot and what makes it so 
interesting to her.&nbsp; There might even be time for a reading!
