New-Gate Prison is recognized as the first state prison in the U.S. and served as a prison for loyalists throughout the American Revolution.

Join Morgan Bengel, Curator of Old New-Gate Prison &amp; Copper Mine, to uncover how citizenship, loyalty, and treason were at the core of America’s founding and to learn more about the darker (literally and figuratively) side of the Revolution.

In this age of rising authoritarianism, economic inequality, political polarization, climate change, and media disruptions, it may seem that American democracy is unable to respond and adapt to the challenges that threaten its very existence. However, a reinvention of our constitutional democracy remains entirely within reach—and urgently needed. Americans across the political spectrum yearn to believe again in the American story and to feel connected to one another.
As part of the Fairfield Museum’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join us for a timely and vital conversation exploring practical ways we can build a new, collective commitment to democratic citizenship, using the landmark report “Our Common Purpose: Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century” as a starting point. <a href="https://www.amacad.org/ourcommonpurpose/report" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Click here to read the report.</a>
Panelists include: Stephen Heintz, President Emeritus of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Global Commission on Democracy; CT Secretary of State and national voting rights advocate Stephanie Thomas; David McCullough III, founder of American Exchange Project, an innovative program that builds connections between young Americans from different backgrounds; and Fairfield University’s Aaron Weinstein, PhD, a scholar of the intersection of secular and religious thought in American politics.
Co-presented by Fairfield University Center for Arts &amp; Minds.

1776 and Hamilton are two landmark American musicals that dramatize the story of the nation’s founding, created nearly fifty years apart and reflecting very different cultural moments. This talk examines how each work portrays the Revolutionary era, while simultaneously capturing a snapshot of the times in which these shows were written. By comparing their music, characters, and political perspectives, the program explores how changing historical contexts shape the way we tell our national story.

About the 2026 Fall Speaker Series – Reflecting at 250
Join the Fairfield Museum for a series exploring how American history is interpreted and retold today now that the United States has marked the milestone of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Prominent historians will examine how storytelling shapes our understanding of history, highlight whose voices are amplified versus whose are marginalized, and offer contemporary perspectives on our nation’s past. Together, we will discover how the choices about what to remember—and what to overlook—shape national identity and ongoing debates about the American past and future.

At least one‑third of the colonial population were neutral during the American Revolution, yet they have rarely featured in narratives that shape our ideas about the conflict. By following a single transatlantic family, the Crugers, historian Travis Glasson puts neutrals—the “nobody men”—at the center of this tumultuous period’s history. Drawing from his new book Nobody Men: Neutrality, Loyalties, and Family in the American Revolution, Travis Glasson, Associate Professor of History at Temple University, will explore the overlooked individuals of the Revolutionary era who fell between patriot and loyalist—highlighting how their choices shaped the Atlantic world.
About Travis Glasson
Travis Glasson is a historian of early America, Britain, the British Empire, and the transnational Atlantic world. He is an Associate Professor in the History Department at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and an Affiliated Faculty member of Temple’s Global Studies Program. He completed his MA and PhD at Columbia University and graduated from the College of the Holy Cross and LaSalle Academy in Providence, Rhode Island. Glasson is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and has received grants and fellowships from institutions including the Whiting Foundation, the John Carter Brown Library, the Huntington Library, the Harvard University Atlantic Seminar, the American Historical Association, and Clare Hall at the University of Cambridge. His publications include the books, Nobody Men: Neutrality, Loyalties, and Family in the American Revolution (Yale University Press, 2025), Mastering Christianity: Missionary Anglicanism and Slavery in the Atlantic World (Oxford University Press, 2012), and articles in journals including the William and Mary Quarterly and the Journal of British Studies.
