Happening THIS Wednesday, June 10th!🎶🥁🎻

This year we commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution! Join us at the Wilton Historical Society on Wednesday, June 10th at 7:00 pm for a presentation about music during the Revolution by Christine Hauck!🇺🇸

This lecture will focus on the American Revolutionary Era (1763–1783) and what the residents of Wilton in 1776 would have been listening to at the time.

Registration is required! Please visit our website: wiltonhistorical.org 🤍

Here’s your Wilton Historygram!

A series of color films taken between the mid-1940s and early 1950s shows nostalgic scenes from Wilton’s Gilbert & Bennett School: schoolchildren running and playing outside, putting on their own circus and puppet shows, dancing, and doing their lessons. These films will be shown at the Wilton Library at 6:30pm on June 11, 2026 (to register please visit https://wiltonhistorical.org/events/event/vintage-film-night-the-gb-school/). For your Historygram today, here’s a preview!

History is Here! Visit the Wilton Historical Society and the History Room at the Wilton Library to learn more.
