SUMMARY:The Know Nothings and Irish Immigration
DESCRIPTION:A decade or so before the Civil War\, the abolition question was not the only conflict brewing. Learn more about the Know Nothings\, a secret society that grew into a political party\, its presence in Connecticut\, and its chief concern: the growing numbers of Irish immigrants at that time. The Irish came to Bristol and stayed and\, despite their presence in town\, the Know Nothings proved a fleeting movement. \nFind out what happened to the Know Nothings and how the Irish outlasted the nativists in the country’s history – and Bristol’s\, Thursday\, July 24\, at 7pm. \nDoors open at 6:30 and additional parking can be found in the rear of the building. The program is free to members\, with a suggested donation of $5 for others. Refreshments will be served. \nPlease note: This “fourth-Thursday” program replaces our usual Third Thursday event.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Program: Tories\, Spies\, and Traitors\, Divided Loyalty in Revolutionary Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Which side are you on? That’s the question that every single person in Connecticut had to answer in 1775\, as the thirteen colonies began a rebellion against British rule. Loyalty was not only a matter of words or opinion. For soldiers and civilians alike\, loyalty could mean loss of fortune\, of friends\, and even of life. This presentation reveals stories— some well known\, some obscure— of Nutmeggers who risked and sacrificed to support their chosen side. \nJoin us for this program about Revolutionary-era Connecticut presented by Rachel Beauchemin of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History (formerly the CT Historical Society) and discover more about this divisive time in the state and the Bristol area. \nPLEASE NOTE the earlier date! \nDoors will open at 6:30. Additional parking is in the rear of the building and refreshments will be served. This program is free to members of BHS or the MMM or a suggested donation of $5 for nonmembers. \nRachel Beauchemin is a Museum Educator at the Connecticut Museum of\nCulture and History. She develops and teaches educational programs for\nschool and adult audiences. Rachel has had experience in both education and\nmuseums in CT and holds a B.A. in Political Science and Women’s Studies\nfrom Gettysburg College.
