"The Power of Her Paintbrush" Author Reading: Janice Hechter

Presented by Offsite Connecticut Theatre, this&nbsp;light opera centers around the Sultan of Sulu, named Ki-Ram. Sulu is an Islamic kingdom in the southern Philippines that at the turn of the 20th century found itself subjected to United States colonial rule, collateral damage from the fallout of the Spanish-American War, via the Philippine-American War closer to home. He, along with his Private Secretary Hadji, and others, get tangled up in the Americans' efforts to bring "democracy" and "civilisation" to Sulu.This program has an intermission. We encourage you to bring your own refreshments and look forward to seeing you at the show.

<h6>Please note: This is an Afterhours Program. Library services will be limited. We ask that all registrants arrive no later than 12:45pm. Thank you for your cooperation.&nbsp;</h6>

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.
Part of the <a href="https://s-wh.org/farmingtonct250" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FarmingtonCT250</a> programming series at Stanley-Whitman House. Stanley-Whitman House is a proud official affiliate of the America 250 | CT Commission. Join us for these commemorative events.
