SUMMARY:Search for the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:What started out as a quirky hobby soon became an obsession. During a road trip with friends to Boston\, in a cemetery with three Declaration signers’ graves\, a project was born traveling to and photographing the graves of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. It seemed like an easy task. As photos were taken and names checked off the list\, questions arose. Is this where the signer was first buried? Was he moved from an original burial spot? Why did that move happen? Is the actual grave location known? Along the quest\, it turns out that a number of Declaration signers prominent men in their colonies are not interred in their original burial locations. Follow the adventure with some unusual stories\, and discover how many graves were found and how many signers are not really buried where their marker sits. \nJoin us for a cocktail hour book discussion with Jennifer Epstein Rudnick. Rudnick\, a Kent\, Connecticut native\, is an Education Specialist and Park Ranger with the National Park Service at the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington\, DC. Her career spans journalism and history with a focus on storytelling and community engagement\, and her work has been recognized for its passion and dedication to accurate history.  Search for the Signers: Visiting the Graves of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence is her first book.

SUMMARY:Homespun Kent: Makers' Series: Wool Spinning Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Join KHS Trustee Debbie Shifflet-Finton in a demonstration of spinning wool\, the ancient craft of turning raw\, wool fibers into continuous\, usable yarn by drafting (stretching) and twisting them together. It is a highly meditative and creative process\, allowing control of the thickness\, color\, and texture of one’s own unique yarn for knitting\, crochet\, or weaving.  This act is at the heart of our summer exhibit\, Homespun Kent: Revolutionary Households\, metaphoric\, and a powerful symbol of independence: making the yarn for the fabric our own nation.
