NORWALK — A new exhibition recognizing the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence will debut this week at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum.
Revolutionary Roots: Generations of Change will debut on Thursday, June 11th. A reception will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The exhibition, curated by Museum Consultant Stacey Danielson with the assistance of Midge Lopat, a volunteer and curatorial researcher at the museum, will “examine the American Revolution through the 18th-century history of the Lockwood and Mathews families as new research reveals untold stories of their Patriot ancestors who fought for America’s independence.” It will recognize figures including Captain Eliphalet Lockwood, whose home was destroyed by the British while he served in the Connecticut Militia, and Lieutenant Colonel Sampson Mathews, who served in the Virginia Militia and was a member of the Committee of Safety.
The exhibition will be on view through Oct. 3rd. For more information, visit lockwoodmathewsmansion.com.
