250 Years of Independence and Evolution: An illustrated talk by architectural historian and preservationist Wes Haynes

Independence sparked Stamford’s 250-year transformation from an isolated rural colony into today’s vibrant city. Today this story hides in plain sight in the places where we live, work and play. In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join us for a virtual tour of the existing buildings, structures, and monuments and the stories of the people and forces - immigration, industries, and technological innovations - that shaped our city over time.

To preserve historic Emerson Hall, we ask for donations as you are able. $25 is recommended. RSVP at the link below. Walk-ins are welcome as space is available.
