Tour of In the Shadow of Saint Anne's: The Life of a Changing Community with Ruth Glasser Ph. D

Dr. Glasser will describe the growth of a Waterbury neighborhood that once employed thousands of city residents in its large brass and button factories.  She will tell the story of the neighborhood through the experiences of those who lived there when the community flourished and those who are now leading its renewal. 

Visitors are invited to bring childhood photos of themselves to include in the exhibit.  Participants need not be from Waterbury.  Write a few sentences about how your hometown influenced your life and become part of the exhibit.

This exhibit and related programs are supported by the Connecticut Humanities Council.
