SUMMARY:Lucianne Lavin - 2022 Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 17\, 2022\nVIRTUAL\n6:00 pm\n$5.00 for CRM Members\n$10.00 for Non-Members \n  \nLucianne Lavin\, Director of Research and Collections Emeritus\,\nThe Institute for American Indian Studies\n \nDutch-Native American Relationships in Eastern New Netherland (That’s Connecticut\, Folks!) \nExamine the significant impact of Dutch traders and settlers on the history of the colony and state of Connecticut\, and their relationships with its Indigenous peoples. \nWhat is now the state of Connecticut was once part of the 17th century Dutch Empire. New Netherland extended from Cape Cod west to Delaware Bay from 1614 to 1650. At that time\, the Dutch gave up much of their claim to Connecticut to the English at the Treaty of Hartford\, but retained control of its southwestern portion. Dutch families continued to live in other parts of Connecticut as well. \nConnecticut’s first documented European explorers AND settlers were the Dutch. The aim of this presentation is to introduce the audience to their significant impacts on our history\, including the continuing strong Dutch presence in western Connecticut\, Dutch relationships with local Indigenous communities\, and the noteworthy\, often long-term effects of those relationships on our state and regional histories. The Dutch deserve a more prominent position in future Connecticut history books and museum exhibits. Dutch-American history and Dutch contributions to American culture should be mandated topics in Connecticut’s school curriculum. \nLucianne Lavin is Director of Research and Collections at the Institute for American Indian Studies\, a research museum and educational center in Washington\, CT. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology from New York University. Lavin is an archaeologist who has over 30 years of research and field experience in Northeastern archaeology and anthropology\, including teaching\, museum exhibits and curatorial work\, cultural resource management\, editorial work\, and public relations. \nDr. Lavin has written over 100 professional publications and technical reports on the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Northeast. She was awarded the Russell award by the Archaeological Society of Connecticut and elected Fellow of the New York State Archaeological Association for exemplary archaeology work in their respective states. \nRESERVE YOUR SEAT \n  \nPhoto Courtesy of Lucianne Lavin

SUMMARY:Burning of the Ships Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Burning of the Ships Commemoration\nSaturday\, May 14\, 2022 at 2:00 PM\nConnecticut River Museum\, Essex\, CT \nAdmission to the Museum is free for the Burning of the Ships visitors. \nThe Burning of the Ships Commemoration is a free public celebration held in Essex\, Connecticut on the second Saturday in May. The Sailing Masters of 1812 hold the commemorative event to mark the British raid on Essex ships and shipyard on April 8\, 1814 during the War of 1812. \nBackground information: \nIn 1968\, on a damp and chilly spring day\, the Sailing Masters of 1812 held its first “Burning of the Ships Commemoration.” The group’s charter members were very well aware of the historical importance of the April 8\, 1814 burning of the ships in Essex\, the largest naval loss that the United States had until Pearl Harbor. The Sailing Masters continued an oral tradition started by Austin Lay who witnessed the raid and told the story to school children until his death\, at the age of 93\, in 1891. The Sailing Masters have become the keepers of this small part of US history\, and annually mark this historic event with a parade and concert at the location of the British raid. \nThe purpose of the Sailing Masters of 1812 is to perpetuate the art and performance of ancient fifing and drumming and to commemorate the role of Essex\, Connecticut in the War of 1812\, and is a nonprofit organized for historical and educational purposes. The Corps has adopted the uniform of a US Naval Sailing Master\, a warrant officer ranked between midshipmen and lieutenant. The Corps perform on wooden fifes and rope tension snare and bass drums\, and its repertoire includes period tunes and music from the fife and drum tradition. These include nautical and military tunes such as “Roving Sailor\,” Sailor’s Hornpipe\, “1812\,” “Hulls Victory\,” and “Unites States March;” and historic tunes such as “Yankee Doodle\,” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” \nImage credit:  Sailing Masters of 1812

SUMMARY:The Moon\, Stars\, and Tides: A sailor’s guide to the universe
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 14\, 2022\n4:00 – 8:00 pm \nJonathan Craig & Brenda Milkofsky at the Connecticut River Museum\, with a cruise aboard the Onrust. \nThe Moon\, Stars\, and Tides: A sailor’s guide to the universe \nBrenda Milkofsky\, retired director and curator of the Connecticut River Museum will lead off our adventure at 4:00 pm with a behind the scenes view of some of the museum’s historic navigation equipment collection. She’ll offer a brief history of ship building along the Connecticut River before we head to the museum\, itself\, for a look at their permanent exhibits. At 6:00 pm\, we then join educator and conservationist Jonathan Craig\, the Onrust ship captain and crew who will serve as our guides for an evening sail aboard this 45-foot replica of Adriaen Block’s sailing vessel\, the original built in New York in 1614\, for exploration of New England’s coastline.We will learn how navigation and knowledge of the sea were often a matter of experience and feel (dead reckoning) rather than a precise science; the Pilgrims\, for instance\, expected to land in Virginia. We will enjoy the company of experienced sailors who will share their expertise in reading the stars\, following the tides and currents\, and harnessing the wind. Examples of old navigation instruments as well as modern iPad apps and GPS will be demonstrated during this two-hour cruise. \nTo Register\, Click Here

SUMMARY:Josh Shanley - 2022 Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 10\, 2022\nVIRTUAL Event\n6:00 pm\nFree \n  \nJosh Shanley\, MS\, MEd\, MBA\, EMT-P\nThe Connecticut River Valley Flood of 1936 \n\nRESERVE YOUR VIRTUAL SEAT \nAuthor Josh Shanley recounts the greatest flood in New England history and examines the potential for future floods. \nIn the beginning of the twentieth century\, the Connecticut River Valley was a thriving manufacturing hub for fabric\, arms and brass. But early in the spring of 1936\, nearly two feet of rain created havoc on a massive scale\, killing more than one hundred people and leaving tens of thousands homeless\, unemployed and without power for weeks. Patrols were conducted in rowboats on city streets. Typhoid and other public health issues complicated recovery efforts. Adjusted for today’s standard\, damage estimates exceeded $9 billion\, and the flood helped launch FDR’s Flood Control Act of 1936. Dams\, reservoirs and dikes were constructed to control future flooding. Much of that system now remains in place but has gone largely unmaintained. \nJosh Shanley has worked in emergency services since 1989 and during that time has had the opportunity to support several special operations teams as a tactical medic and rescue technician. He served as a canine handler with the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force (Massachusetts Task Force 1) and participated in the response to the World Trade Center attacks both in 1993 and in 2001. He completed a master’s degree in emergency management in 2005 and during the years that followed chaired various committees with a focus on public health and healthcare preparedness and emergency management. He ran a consulting practice for five years\, working with hospitals around the country on a variety of scenarios\, including flu pandemic and full building evacuation planning. In 2008\, he earned an MBA in entrepreneurial thinking and innovative practices and\, most recently\, just completed a master’s degree in education. He has been a firefighter/paramedic with Northampton Fire Rescue since 2009 and the media project lead for the Massachusetts Fire Academy\, where he builds online classes and shoots photos and video of the Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad\, Hazardous Materials Response Unit and Technical Rescue Teams. He has lived and worked along the Connecticut River since 1995. \nPhoto Courtesy of Josh Shanley
