SUMMARY:History Bites | The 1964-65 New York World's Fair
DESCRIPTION:Fondly remembered today by many who grew up in the tri-state area\, the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair attracted 50 million visitors\, and it wasn’t even an officially sanctioned world’s fair. After all\, Flushing Meadows Park was only a short drive away for Connecticut families looking for a summer destination. Connecticut was well represented at the fair\, from the New England States pavilion to General Electric’s “Progressland” attraction. Join historian Jason Scappaticci to learn more about the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair 60 years after its debut. \n  \nFree with Museum Admission. Snacks and refreshments provided. Please feel free to bring your own lunch. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nJason Scappaticci was born and raised in Manchester\, CT where he continues to live with his partner and son. After high school he earned his BA in History from Utica College of Syracuse University. After returning home to CT he enrolled in Trinity College and earned his MA in American Studies. He has a passion for history and enjoys sharing that passion with others. Some topics of particular interest for Jason are presidential history\, world’s fairs\, and the golden age of transatlantic passenger liners. These topics are reflected in many of the lectures he has taken around the state to libraries and historical societies. \nProfessionally\, Jason has worked in higher education since 2003. He began his career at Manchester Community College working with low income and first-generation college students. After 16 years at Manchester Community College Jason was named the Associate Dean of Student Affairs at Capital Community College. He is passionate about the mission of Capital Community College and enjoys his work there as much as he enjoys lecturing. \n  \nGenerously sponsored by Cindy Raney & Team \n \n  \nImage: 1964-65 New York World’s Fair.

SUMMARY:The Mansion’s Gilded Age Tea
DESCRIPTION:The Fairfield Museum and Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum are collaborating to present The Mansion’s Gilded Age Tea on Sunday\, May 19\, 2024\, 2-4 pm. Doors will open at 1:30 pm. \nCo-chaired by LMMM Trustees Tatiana Mendoza and Kathy Olsen\, this event will feature luxurious tea refreshments\, a silent auction\, a hat contest\, and a fascinating exploration of Fairfield Museum’s exhibition titled Money Talks: The Gilded Age in Fairfield. \n  \nHow to Purchase Tickets \nTickets are $60 for members and $65 for non-members (for both museums) available to purchase online at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-mansions-gilded-age-tea-tickets-814146362687?aff=oddtdtcreator. \nProceeds will benefit LMMM’s and Fairfield Museum’s educational and cultural programs. \n  \nAbout the Exhibition \nMoney Talks: The Gilded Age in Fairfield is an exhibition that explores immigrant labor and innovative businessmen\, domestic servants\, and wealthy vacationers. Growing public need and local benefactors. Dichotomies characterize the Gilded Age in Fairfield. The “Gilded Age” (1865-1912) was a period of immense growth in America known for lavish expressions of wealth and cavernous class distinctions. In 1873\, Mark Twain gave the era its name with the novel\, The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. Tremendous social and economic changes could also be found in Fairfield—changes that would not have been possible without the working class supporting the grand lifestyle of the upper classes. \nThis exhibition presents the industrialists\, philanthropists\, and entrepreneurs who summered in the Fairfield area\, including P.T. Barnum\, Annie Burr and Oliver Gould Jennings\, Dr. Ira DeVer Warner\, and Jonathan and Harriet V.S. Thorne\, alongside the people who made their lifestyles possible. Money Talks: The Gilded Age in Fairfield is on view at the Fairfield Museum and History Center through June 16\, 2024. \n  \nAbout the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum \nLMMM’s 2024 programs are made possible in part by LMMM’s Founding Patrons: The Estate of Mrs. Cynthia Clark Brown; LMMM’s Leadership Patrons: The Sealark Foundation; and LMMM’s 2024 Season Distinguished Benefactors: The City of Norwalk\, The Maurice Goodman Foundation\, and Lockwood-Mathews Foundation\, Inc. For more information on tours and programs\, please visit www.lockwoodmathewsmansion.com\, email info@lockwoodmathewsmansion.com\, or call 203-838-9799. \n
