SUMMARY:2026 Fall Speaker Series | Stories of Connecticut’s Black Patriots
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discover four Connecticut families: Prince Mortimer of Middletown; Robin Starr of Danbury; Job Lathrop of Norwich; and the three sons of London Wallace of Simsbury. As a genealogist and president of the Alex Breanne Corporation\, a non-profit focused on research into the formerly enslaved\, John Mills traces how Black men served in the American Revolution while still enslaved—and how\, in many cases\, they returned home to bondage rather than freedom. Grounded in primary records and descendant-led research\, this talk reveals a powerful and often overlooked history of service\, sacrifice\, and resilience\, and challenges us to reconsider what patriotism and liberty truly meant for Black people in Revolutionary-era Connecticut. \n  \nAbout John Mills \nJohn Mills is a trained genealogist and president of the Alex Breanne Corporation\, a Connecticut-based non-profit dedicated to unearthing the lesser-known stories of the enslaved. His work focuses on research that injects these vital histories back into the landscape of the communities where they lived and worked. \n  \n\nAbout the 2026 Fall Speaker Series – Reflecting at 250 \nJoin the Fairfield Museum for a series exploring how American history is interpreted and retold today now that the United States has marked the milestone of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Prominent historians will examine how storytelling shapes our understanding of history\, highlight whose voices are amplified versus whose are marginalized\, and offer contemporary perspectives on our nation’s past. Together\, we will discover how the choices about what to remember—and what to overlook—shape national identity and ongoing debates about the American past and future. \n  \nAdditional Lectures in the Series: \nOctober 4 | The Will of the People | T.H. Breen \nOctober 18 | From Liberty to Legacy: Exploring American Ideals in the Musicals 1776 and Hamilton | Michael Langlois \nNovember 8 | Nobody Men: Neutrality and Loyalties in the American Revolution | Travis Glasson \n  \n  \nLight refreshments provided. \nRegistration is required. $15 for Members; $20 for Non-Members; $75 for the series; $60 for Members. \n  \n\nTicketing Policy \n\nNo refunds will be given unless the program is cancelled by the Fairfield Museum.\nWe do not pro-rate fees for missed days of the series.\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Local to Fairfield | The Autumn of 1776
DESCRIPTION:Travel back in time to the fall of 1776. Independence had been declared\, but patriots were still figuring out the young nation. The Continental Army just suffered a crushing defeat in Brooklyn. British forces won control of New York\, occupying the city until the end of the Revolution. Additional losses in White Plains\, Fort Washington\, and other battles would bring General George Washington’s leadership into question. Join the Fairfield Museum’s Walt Matis to experience the difficult defeats and growing resilience of the young nation and to discover the decisions that made Connecticut and Fairfield County targets for British and loyalist forces during this tumultuous period. \nCo-presented with the Fairfield Public Library \n  \nFree. Program will take place at Fairfield Public Library. \n  \nRSVP HERE \n  \n

SUMMARY:2026 Fall Speaker Series | The Will of the People
DESCRIPTION:T. H. Breen\, professor of American History at the University of Vermont\, spotlights a crucial missing piece in the stories we tell about the American Revolution. Across the thirteen colonies\, it was ordinary people who became the face of resistance. Without them the Revolution would have failed. Everyday men and women negotiated the revolutionary experience\, accepting huge personal sacrifice\, setting up daring experiments in self-government\, and going to extraordinary lengths to preserve the rule of law. \n  \nAbout T.H. Breen \nT.H. Breen is a professor of American History at the University of Vermont and an Early American historian interested in the history of political thought\, material culture\, and cultural anthropology. A Guggenheim fellow\, he has held appointments at the Institute for Advanced Study and the National Humanities Center as well as the Pitt Professorship of American History and Institutions at Cambridge University and the Harmsworth Professorship at Oxford University. He has won several awards for distinguished teaching\, including one from the Northwestern Alumni Society. His publications include five monographs\, portions of the highly successful undergraduate text\, America: Past and Present\, and books including Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence\, American Patriots: The Revolution of the People\, George Washington’s Journey: The President Forges a New Nation\, and The Will of the People: The Revolutionary Birth of America. Breen has also served as a special consultant for Colonial Williamsburg. In 2017 he was appointed the John Kluge Professor of American Law and Governance at the Library of Congress. Breen is the founding director of the Chabraja Center for Historical Studies\, and has a Ph.D. from Yale. \n  \n\nAbout the 2026 Fall Speaker Series – Reflecting at 250 \nJoin the Fairfield Museum for a series exploring how American history is interpreted and retold today now that the United States has marked the milestone of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
