LYMAN ALLYN HOSTS LECTURE SERIES BY THAMES RIVER HERITAGE PARK
NEW LONDON – The Lyman Allyn Art Museum will host Thames River Heritage Park’s winter lecture series, “Stories from the Park.” In the six-part series, Connecticut authors will talk about significant local history and culture.
The talks will focus on local Gilded Age newsmakers, Revolutionary War turncoat and Norwich native Benedict Arnold, the Jackson family, whose members were enslaved in New London during the colonial period, and other subjects topical to Connecticut audiences.
The lectures are scheduled on Wednesday evenings beginning Jan. 4 from 6 – 8:30 p.m. Those attending in-person will have an opportunity to meet the authors, purchase books and have them signed. Light hors d’oeuvres and wine will be served during the reception. [Read more…]
