  • 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.

  • The Checkered Career of Timothy Hinman
    The Checkered Career of Timothy Hinman Hinman’s life illustrates the contradictions inherent in financial risk taking early in the nineteenth century. By Gail A. Sangree n the well-kept cemetery overlooking Derby Lake lie the bones of Timothy Hinman. The notation on his gravestone reads, “Honor- I able Timo Hinman April 29, 1850 AE88yrs.” The marble has been recently cleaned, and the following inscription appears to have been added later: “First Settler of Derby. A soldier of the Revolutionary Army. Patriot & faithful honest citizen. A just and good man.” “Faithful, honest, just, and good” is strong praise for a man who, in addition to building roads, starting a town from scratch, and rendering judicial decisions, speculated in land, selling the lots at huge profits; smuggled and traded with the enemy; cheated his associates; defaulted on thousands of dollars of loans and betrayed the public trust; and upon conviction, escaped from jail. Hinman’s life illustrates the contra- dictions inherent in financial risk taking early in the nineteenth century: While the potential for accumulating wealth was great, the chances of ruin were also high. Although a young man with strong arms, determi- nation, and a mixture of knowledge and luck might secure a comfort- able position for himself and his family, his efforts might bring him nothing. As a boy growing up in Southbury, Connecticut, Hinman, born in 1761, heard about the plentiful opportunities for land in northern Ver- mont from his first cousin once removed, Colonel Benjamin Hinman, who had made raids into Canada from Crown Point on Lake Cham- plain in 1758.

  • The Battle of Ridgefield: April 27, 1777
    American Revolution & Colonial Life Programs Pre and Post Lesson Plans & Activities The Battle of Ridgefield: April 27, 1777 • The Battle of Ridgefield was the only inland battle fought in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. • Captain Benedict Arnold was the main commander for the battle as the British marched upon a weak Colonial Army. Arnold's defenses kept the British at bay until the larger army could come later. • Brigadier General Gold Selleck Silliman of Fairfield was also involved in the battle. In the primary source letter below, he sends word to General Wooster that they need reinforcements. • Silliman’s 2nd wife, Mary Silliman, writes to her parents after the battle, relieved that her husband and son were unharmed. Although her parents are only a few towns away, she is unable to travel the distance. • Another primary source is a silhouette of Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould of Fairfield, who died during the battle. At the Fairfield Museum: • Students will view a painted portrait of Mary Silliman in the galleries. • Students will see the grave marker for General Gold Selleck Silliman, his first wife, and a few of his children. • Students will also see the grave marker of Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould. Fairfield Museum & History Center | Fairfieldhistory.org | American Revolution: The Battle of Ridgefield A brief synopsis – The Battle of Fairfield: General Tryon of the British army thought that he would be warmly received by the people of Ridgefield after taking out a Colonial supply post just days earlier. Tryon, to his dismay, learned that the town was being barricaded by none other than General Benedict Arnold.

    6-F : A RECORD OF THE SERVICES COMMISSIONED OFFICEKS AND ENLISTED MEN KITTERY AND ELIOT. MAINE, Who served their Country on land and sea in the American Revolution, from 1775 to 1783. BOSTON Alfred Mddge & Son, Printers, 24 Franklin Street. A^Jt.T mo i. Cheeked dCLIBP. 4 OR, LENOX AND EN FOUNDATIONS. L To the Men of Kittery who gave their lives on land and sea, in battle or in prison, from 1775 to 1783, that this country might be free, and that their example may speak to com- ing generations, this volume is respectfully inscribed. By Lieut. OLIVER P. REMICK, Engineer Corps, U. S. Revenue Cutter Service. Member of the Maine Historical Society and the Maine Genealogical Society. PREFACE. Kittery, at the commencement of the war for Independence, was composed of the present towns of Kittery and Eliot, and this record takes in the soldiers and sailors of both towns ; but Eliot's soldiers are not mentioned as such in their individual records, but one can tell by the parish or militia company residence of the man, in which town as now constituted he lived ; whenever the word "town" occurs in the following pages, it refers to and means the old town of Kittery as it was in 1775. The town at that time was divided into three parishes, viz., first, or lower ; second, or upper ; and third, or middle. The first parish was that part of the town south of a line, commencing at Ports- mouth Ferry, near the old Rice House, and running north fifty-four degrees east, to the town of York.

    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.

The main invasion force, under Gen- eral John Burgoyne, would push south down the Lake Champlain corridor from Distribution Hub on the Hudson Canada while General Howe’s troops in New York advanced up the Hudson. In a series of missteps, Burgoyne overestimated the progress his army could make On July 9, 1776, New York’s Provincial Congress met at White Plains creating through the forests of northern New York, and Howe deliberately embarked the State of New York and accepting the Declaration of Independence.

    Name: ____________________________ Date: _____________________________ Activity 1: Be a History Detective! Directions: There are many ways historians or museum professionals can learn about the past. Many times we think primary sources are only writings, letters, papers or books. Another way we can learn about the past is from artifacts or images. In this activity we are going to ask you to act like a detective – you will have 2 minutes to look at one image and then answer the following three questions. Imagine that this image was left behind with no description so think creatively and build a possible story about what it might be showing us. Answer these questions after spending 2 minutes look at the image. There are no wrong answers – but every answer must be supported by what you SEE in the image. 1. What is going on in this picture? 2. What do you SEE that makes you say that? 3. What else do you see? (Take a second look and add to your detective work!) 1 ©Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center 2020 Name: ____________________________ Date: _____________________________ Activity 2: An Introduction to the Battle of Ridgefield Directions: Read the following questions before listening to the presentation on the Battle of Ridgefield – it will help you know what to listen for!
