SUMMARY:Live From the Boathouse! Richard DeLuca presents Transportation & Technology: NY to Boston: From 14 Days to 6 Hours One Way!
DESCRIPTION:Live from the Boathouse!\nRichard DeLuca presents Transportation & Technology: NY to Boston: From 14 Days to 6 Hours One Way!\nWednesday\, December 9\, 2026\n6 – 7 p.m. \nThis lecture will be available in person and over Zoom. Prices are listed below.  \nIn-person Pricing:\nMembers: FREE \nNon-Members: $10.00 \nVirtual Pricing:\nMembers: FREE\nNon-Members: $5.00 \nALL Members\, Non-Members\, and virtual attendees must use the link below to reserve your spot.

The first post rider in the seventeenth century would have spent 14 days on their journey – much longer than the 6 hour trip we are used to now. Travel through time with author and historian Richard DeLuca and explore the rapid evolution of transportation in Connecticut from colonial times to the present day!  \nRichard DeLuca earned a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree from Manhattan College in New York in 1968\, and a Master of Science degree in transportation planning from the University of Connecticut at Storrs in 1972. He has ten years of experience in the field of engineering as a transportation planner with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (1968-74) and with the Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency (1974-78).  \nDeLuca began his career in writing after moving to San Francisco in 1978. He focused on California history\, writing an article on the Indian occupation of Alcatraz Island and the origins of the Native American civil rights movement which was published in California History magazine and received the society’s Alice J. Clark award for twentieth-century history in 1984. Ten years later he published We\, The People! Bay Area Activism in the 1960s\, which documented the historical roots of the social protest that took place in the 1960s. \nDeLuca returned to Connecticut in 1998. Since 2006\, he has been at work on a two-volume history of Connecticut transportation from the colonial period to the present. The first volume\, Post Roads & Iron Horses\, was published by Wesleyan University Press in December of 2011\, and covers the history of Connecticut from colonial times through the age of steam. The second volume\, entitled Paved Roads & Public Money\, focusing on transportation in the twentieth century was published in 2020\, and received the Connecticut Book Award from the Connecticut Humanities Council. DeLuca has presented his research at several history conferences\, and published several articles in Connecticut History Review\, the journal of the Association for the Study of Connecticut History (ASCH).  \nHe may be reached at: \nRichard DeLuca\n72 Old Towne Road\nCheshire\, Connecticut 06410\n(203) 272-7261\nrdeluca635@gmail.com
