Shelton History Center to host "Shelton Celebrates" event Saturday


Join us for the opening of a brand new exhibit at Shelton History Center in honor of #America250

Housed in the Brownson House, “Shelton Celebrates! How We’ve Remembered the United States’ Birthday” is an exhibit exploring and examining how the people of Shelton have looked at the events of the American Revolution from the Colonial Revival at the end of the 19th century to the Bicentennial in 1976.

We’ll also be joined by historian Kevin Johnson, a veteran of the State Library’s History and Genealogy Unit. 

For nearly 20 years, Johnson has brought history to life through his powerful reenactment of Jordan Freeman, an African American man who played a vital role in defending Fort Griswold and New London during the Revolutionary War.

Light refreshments will be served. Admission is free, suggested donation of $5.
