Stamford’s Visible History

250 Years of Independence and Evolution: An illustrated talk by architectural historian and preservationist Wes Haynes

Independence sparked Stamford’s 250 year transformation from an isolated rural colony into today’s vibrant city.  Today this story hides in plain sight in the places where we live, work and play.  In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join us for a virtual tour of the existing buildings, structures, and monuments and the stories of the people and forces – immigration, industries, and technological innovations – that shaped our city over time.

For the preservation of historic Emerson Hall, we ask for donations, as you are able. $25 is recommended. All are welcome.
