Something Old, Something New

MARCH 3, 2:00PM. SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW: CONNECTICUT WEDDINGS THROUGH THE AGES

The Wethersfield Historical Society welcomes Natalie Belanger of the Connecticut Historical Society presenting their traveling program “Something Old, Something New: Connecticut Weddings Through the Ages” to the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center, 200 Main Street, Wethersfield, CT on Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 2:00 pm. From colonial to modern times, how did Connecticans tie the knot? How did they celebrate? What did they wear? And how did some of our cherished wedding customs originate? This program uses CHS’s extensive collection of wedding clothing, accessories, photographs and prints to examine some of our ideas about what makes a “traditional” wedding, and what those traditions can reveal about how ideas about marriage have changed through the years. Admission is $5.00 for the General Public and free to Wethersfield Historical Society Members. Tickets will be available at the door on the day of the event on a first come – first served basis. Doors will open at 1:30 pm. For more information, please contact the society at (860) 529-7656 or society@wethersfieldhistory.org.
