Wagner has also painted murals for the towns of Lisbon and Plainfield. In the Town Hall of Plainfield, where Wagner served as First Selectman, are scenes of Washing- ton's arrival there and the 3rd encampment of Rocham­ beau's army. The Lisbon work depicts the Marquis de Lafayette stopping at Burnham's Tavern in Newent (Lis­ bon) on the way to Rhode Island.

It em­ phasizes the "little elements"—benches, street lights, signs, plantings, paving and other details that have the potential for making our cities more humane, efficient places. En­ dowment guidelines prohibit the use of funds for property acquisition, construction and renovation, and the program is primarily for planning and design, to provide communi­ ties with the initial impetus for exploring ways to revitalize life in public places. Local governments are eligible to ap­ ply for 50-50 matching grants not expected to exceed $50,000. Part of the matching may consist of in-kind con­ tributions, and private funds are also acceptable. Applying for an Endowment grant is relatively simple. The actual application form requires only basic informa­ tion, a proposed budget breakdown, and a program narra­ tive. But elements such as demonstration of broad com­ munity support, clear response to a public need, favorable impact on the local economy and development, local en­ dorsement of the project by government officials and community groups are also involved. With "Cityscale," imagination can go a long way towards making a success­ ful proposal, with an opportunity to emphasize what is unique about a community. The deadline for application is November 3, 1975. For further information contact: Mr. William N.

  • Connecticut Connections: the Places That Teach Us About Historical Archaeology
    CONNECTICUT_CONNECTIONS_THE_PLACES_THAT 2/28/2017 4:13 PM Connecticut Connections: The Places That Teach Us About Historical Archaeology LUCIANNE LAVIN Institute for American Indian Studies To many people the word “archaeology” invokes images of Egyptian pyramids, Aztec temples, the treasures of ancient Rome. If they are aware of North American archaeology, they usually picture archaeology sites far west of New England – 10,000-year-old early man sites on the Plains or the Southwestern Pueblo cliff dwellers. They rarely consider Connecticut as a center of important archaeological activity. But it is! As the preceding articles on Connecticut archaeology aptly illustrate, our state’s rich multi-cultural heritage is reflected and informed by its archaeology sites. Connecticut contains thousands of prehistoric, historic, industrial, and maritime archaeological sites created by the ancestors of its various ethnic residents. Many are thousands of years old. Because Connecticut History is specifically an history journal, I will restrict my discussion to post- European contact archaeology sites. Archaeology sites provide insights on fascinating and important stories about Connecticut that often are not found in local history books. Domestic, commercial, and industrial archaeology sites provide clues to the diverse lifestyles of Connecticut’s residents through time, their community relationships and events, and the cultural changes that modified those lifestyles and connections. But where can one go to learn about Connecticut archaeology? The best places are the sites themselves. Plan an excursion to some of these wonderful archaeology localities where you can spend enjoyable, quality time with family and friends while learning about a specific aspect of local, regional, and even national history.

In the interim, it was wonderful to see our community pull together. I was able to hold many of our programs at different locations due to the generosity of many businesses in town. During our month away the Old Lyme Congregational Church, Lyme Art Association, Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau, Old Lyme Library, Old Lyme Town Hall, Rogers Lake and the Estuary Senior Center in Old Saybrook offered the use of their locations. I would like to offer them heartfelt thanks from the Board of Directors, the seniors and myself, without their assistance the seniors in our two towns would have been without any programs.

  • Selected Highlights of Women's History
    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally. With this edition, as the PCSW celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1973, we invite you to explore the many ways women have shaped, and continue to shape, our state.

    MAPPING: NORTHERN BATTLES Using a grid system helps you locate places in the world. A grid system is made up of lines that come together to form squares. The squares divide a map into smaller pieces, making it easier to \ nd important places. Learning how to use a grid system is easy, and will teach you an important location skill. Example: In July 1777, the British Army took control of Mount Independence. Hundreds of soldiers from America, Great Britain, and Germany are buried in unmarked graves on top of Mount Independence. Mount Independence is located at ( 4,4 ). Locate Mount Independence at ( 4,4 ), by putting your \ nger on the number 1 at the bottom of the grid. Slide over to 4 and up to 4. Mount Independence is located in the square created where these two numbers come together. 6 5 Mount 4 Ind. 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 678 9 Directions: In this activity, you will use a grid system to locate important Revolutionary War forts and battles in the North. 1. Follow the example above for locating each fort or battle by going over and up. If a fort or battle is located at ( 4,4 ), go over to 4 and up to 4. 2. When you locate a fort or battle on the grid, color in the square with a coloring pencil. If the fort or battle was won by the Americans, color the square blue. If the fort or battle was won by the British, color the square red. 3. The \ rst one has been done for you as an example.

We are in Roseland, New Jersey at the offices of Carella Byrne. We’re in Governor Byrne’s personal office here; for our final interview with the Governor in this series that we started five years ago back in 2006, we’re going to talk about the end of the Byrne years, and what has the Governor focused on after leaving the Governor’s office. Before we get to the end of things, you wanted to tell a story about Jimmy Carter; go ahead. Brendan Byrne: I was very close to Carter, first Governor to support him. Now he gets elected. My great ambition is to play tennis on the White House tennis court. So now I figure I got the President is one of my best friends, I’m going to play tennis; never got the invitation to play tennis. The story I heard, and it’s probably not true, but the story I heard was that Jimmy Carter took tennis lessons from a man by the name of Frank Brennan who had also taught Billie Jean King and was from New Jersey. The story is that Carter asked Frank Brennan, did you ever see Brendan Byrne play tennis? And Brennan says, “Yes.” Carter says, “Do you think I could beat him?” And Brennan says, “No.” So I never got the invitation.

"She gave to all of you what she gave to me...a mother's gift of unselfish love and compassion," Mrs. Grasso's son, James, 29, said in delivering an eloquent eulogy to his mother who died Thursday of cancer complications. Mrs. Grasso, her body racked with cancer of the liver and intestinal tract after an almost year-long struggle, resigned in her second term on New Year's Eve. She died in Hartford Hospital with her husband, Dr. Thomas Grasso, an educator, and her children, James and Susane, at her bedside. She was 61. James Grasso said he took the "unusual step of paying tribute to my mother at her funeral because I'm so proud and privileged to have had Ella Tambussi Grasso as my mother." He described his mother as "a radiant ray of sunshine, whose warm and engaging smile brought a flow of love upon each day." And to his father, he said: "It goes without saying that my sister and I both realize that our father gave of himself so unselfishly to allow her to accomplish what no woman had ever dared to.

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.
