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.

Playhouse on Park Comedy Nights include 2-3 comedians offering 90 minutes of laughs! Tickets are $20, reserved seating, and BYOB!
Saturday, May 30, 2026 @ 8:00pm Jody Sloane and Earl David Reed
2025-2026 Comedy Series sponsered by BUDR Cannabis
JODY SLOANE (Co-Headliner)
Growing up, Jody had a knack for finding humor in the darkest corners of life. Whether it was the absurdity of a government cheese sculpture or the quirks of her mother’s self-medicating with Winstons and Ring Dings, nothing was off-limits for her infectious laughter-inducing commentary. Her friends quickly learned that any situation could become a comedy goldmine with her around. Fast forward to mid-life, Sloane cut her entertainment teeth doing her sit-down schtick as a cheeky conductor on the Boston duck tours. Her duck tour experience was the perfect tee up to becoming a standup comedian. She's now a regular at esteemed comedy venues from New York to Maine and has been featured in several comedy festivals, including Laugh Your Asheville Off, Boston Comedy Festival, and The Women In Comedy Festival. EARL DAVID REED (Co-Headliner)

Earl David Reed is a seasoned comedian with over 25 years of experience, known for his quick wit, improvisational skills, and ability to connect with any audience. He has performed in over 100 comedy clubs and colleges, and is a favorite in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Reed has been seen on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, HBO, Showtime, Fox's Comic Strip Live, A&amp;E's Comedy on the Road, and NBC's Friday Night Videos. He has also been featured on DVD as one of Bill Engvall's All-Stars of Comedy. Reed's performances are noted for their hilarious and topical nature, incorporating audience interaction seamlessly and making each show a unique and unforgettable experience. He can adapt his style to suit any venue, offering both classic comedy club performances and clean, family-friendly shows. Beyond the stage, Reed has a rich background in radio, with 10 years of experience as a morning show radio personality at WQXA 105.7 the X in Harrisburg, PA.

Socceropolis Summer Soccer Classes for boys & girls ages 3-8yrs

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.

Every town has businesses woven into the fabric of the community. Companies that not only serve the area, but help define it. Since 1966, Kevin Palmer Painting has proudly held that role. What began as a small family operation has grown into a respected leader in painting, power washing, and roof cleaning. We are recognized for our professionalism, craftsmanship, and genuine care for the homes and businesses we serve. When Kevin Palmer Painting was established in 1966, Kevin built the business on simple and timeless values: treat customers with respect, work hard, and deliver results you'd be proud to put your name on. These principles have guided us for more than 50 years and remain the foundation of everything we do to this day. Although tools and technology have evolved, our dedication to professional service has never wavered. Kevin Palmer Painting offers a range of services to protect, refresh, and maintain homes and businesses. These services include expert interior and exterior painting, experienced power washing, and safe, effective roof cleaning. After more than 50 years in business, we've served families across multiple generations. Our long-standing presence means we understand local styles and the community's unique needs. We don't just work here. We live here too. A lot has changed since 1966, but our commitment to quality and professionalism remains the same. Whether you need just a fresh coat of paint, a deep exterior clean, or a gentle roof wash, Kevin Palmer Painting continues to deliver the service that has made us a trusted name for more than half a century. Professionalism never goes out of style, nor does the pride we take in helping homeowners and business owners improve, protect, and beautify their most important investment.
