Connecticut's Old State House

Genealogist and historian John Mills will host the official book launch event for his debut work, The Narrative of Primus: A Lineage Woven into America’s History set to be released on April 21. The Narrative of Primus reconstructs the life of an enslaved African boy brought to colonial Connecticut and traces the generations of his descendants who fought in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and beyond. Through meticulous genealogical research and analysis of primary sources, Mills brings forward a story that has largely remained untold. The book can be purchased prior to the event here.
The choice of venue underscores the significance of the work. The Connecticut Old State House, one of the oldest state houses in the nation, serves as a powerful setting to reflect on the early ideals of American democracy and the individuals whose experiences were not fully represented within them.
The April 29 event will include a brief author talk, a reading, and an opportunity for attendees to engage directly with Mills and purchase signed copies of the book.
This event is free. Please REGISTER HERE!

Central Connecticut State University

Parking at Welte Garage or outside the Student Center
Over 400 middle and high school Connecticut students representing an estimated 69 schools are competing on May 2 for the chance to represent their State at the National History Day Contest, being held in June at the University of Maryland. The State Contest is a culmination of months of hard work by students as they conducted historical research, analyzed their sources and created projects. Students participating in the State Contest include the winners from five regional contests held earlier this spring.
Students participate in a variety of ways: in classroom instruction, after-school clubs, as part of an enrichment program, or as an independent project. Students have spent months working on projects of their own choosing related to this year’s theme of Revolution, Reaction, and Reform in History. Students can explore any type of history, from local to international. Working alone or ingroups, students present projects in one of five categories – exhibits, documentaries, websites, papers, or performances.
The top two prize winners in each category will earn coveted spots to the National History Day competition, which will be held in Maryland in June. Third place finishers serve as alternates to the National Contest. Additionally, twenty Special Prizes related to specific topic content such as World History, Connecticut History, Social Justice, Jewish History, American Legal History and American Colonial History, will be awarded. These prizes are sponsored by local organizations.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143065/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

From Slipknot to Spiritbox, Korn to Knocked Loose, Deftones to Bad Omens, expect deep cuts, classics, and nonstop heaters all night long.
Grab your crew. Lace up your boots. Bring your rage, your voice, and the energy you’ve been saving for the next festival. When your favorite band isn’t in town, House of Heavy is.

This historic site has borne witness to some of the most pivotal narratives of freedom, democracy, and civic engagement in our state’s history, including the landmark Constitutional Convention of 1818. Each of these events not only shaped the legal and social framework of Connecticut but also ignited a spirit of civic responsibility that resonates to this day!
The stories held within these walls invite families, educators, and students to engage with their civic heritage, fostering a deeper understanding of the principles that underpin our democracy. We encourage you to visit and participate in programs that celebrate and explore this vital history.
