Opening Reception - 'Researching Slavery: Uncovering Complicated Colonial Narratives'

How widespread was slavery in the north? Did it exist in Connecticut? In South Windsor?

For more than a century, both amateur and professional historians have made very little mention about enslavement in written recordings and in the passing of oral history about Connecticut’s first settlement of Windsor and its daughter towns of East Windsor and South Windsor. 

For the first time, in this exhibit, we present our initial research findings of slavery on Main Street in South Windsor.

Join us for the opening reception of the new exhibit, “Researching Slavery: Uncovering Complicated Colonial Narratives.” Enjoy an afternoon full of entertainment as your $30 ticket includes the performance of Cato and Dolly, PLUS Post-Performance Talkback discussion followed by the reception and exhibit opening.
