Stratford Historical Society

Stratford resident Silas Burton (1775–1827) was far more than a weaver. A successful craftsman, reed maker, and teacher, Burton built a thriving business in the early republic while also running a night school for local boys and housing Stratford’s first library.
Researcher Sandra Rux will share new insights into Burton’s life and work using records preserved in the Stratford Historical Society archives, including his account ledger and remarkable weaving draft book—still studied today by historic weaving enthusiasts across the country. The program will also feature examples of Burton’s textiles and pieces created by contemporary weavers inspired by his designs.
Free for members.&nbsp;$10 for non-members.&nbsp;
