Sunday, October 22 @3pm

Narrated by David and Maureen Canary with music by Chris and Dave Brubeck, the Wilton history film Recollections and Remembrances, features several longtime residents and follows Wilton's path from its early roots through two world wars, the Depression, a major hurricane and a flood, and into the post-WW2 period of growth. We'll see how Wiltonians worked, played and thrived in a rural farming town that became a major suburban community. Hosted by Bob and Carol Russell, the screening will include recognition of some of the participants from the 2002 original film project as well as remembrances of those no longer with us.  More info & register
