New 'Digging Deeper' Tour Examines Revolutionary
Soldier's Life
at Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seconds after the nine-pound musket is raised to Anthony Riccio's shoulder onlookers are momentarily riveted by a brilliant flash, billowing smoke and a resounding blast. As the scent of gunpowder clears, a connection with the past is made; a sense of living history is complete. Riccio's 18th-century musket demonstration serves as the finale of the new "Soldier's Life" Digging Deeper Tour at the Webb-Deane-Stevens (WDS) Museum. Offering an in-depth view of the life of a typical Revolutionary War soldier, the first of such tours will take place on Saturday, July 9, 2016, at 10:30 a.m., and 1:30 p.m. Admission is $15 per person. Space is limited and advance-ticket purchase is recommended. For tickets visit:

Tour a Garden by One of America's First Female Landscape Architects on
Connecticut Historic Gardens Day, June 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The public is invited to view a small piece of the world as it was seen through the eyes of Amy Cogswell-one of the first female landscape architects in the United States and designer of the Colonial Revival Garden at the Webb-Deane-Stevens (WDS) Museum. On Sunday, June 26, 2016 from noon to 4 p.m., the WDS Colonial Revival Garden will be one of 14 historic gardens highlighted for Connecticut Historic Gardens Day.
In celebration of Connecticut Historic Gardens Day, WDS garden guides will give free tours of the garden, show copies of Cogswell's original garden plans, and discuss her vision for the space. There will be a PowerPoint display, "A Year in the Cogswell Garden," and refreshments will be served. Optional WDS Museum house tours will be offered at a discount for the day, and Elizabeth O'Brien will be on site with her rare and centuries-old art of creating elegant, handcrafted paper silhouettes, for $25 per seating.
