The War of 1812: Connecticut and It's People...
This is an old event, from 2012
Lecture by Betty Odenwald, Connecticut Society, US Daughters of 1812
The War of 1812 is often called the "forgotten war". However, to some historians, it is the end of the American Revolution. It established the American right to trade and commerce, it was the spur to Western expansion, and it provided a new sense of nationalism and pride. In 2012, the United States is celebrating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. In New Milford, there are 30 veterans from this war buried throughout our local cemeteries who we want to remember for their service and sacrifice. This engaging lecture will discuss Connecticut as a supporter of the War of 1812 and the approximately 6,000 militia, soldiers and sailors who fought for our freedom. Mrs. Odenwald is from Fairfield, Connecticut and is the President of the Connecticut Society, U.S. Daughters of 1812.

In Honor of Our Veterans...
This is an old event, from 2012
In conjunction with the Field of Honor which will be sitting proudly on the grounds of the Historical Society and the Town, we have mounted a small exhibit, In Honor of Our Veterans in the Boardman Store Gallery.
The items included in the exhibit will be uniforms and memorabilia from our collection of Veterans from the Civil War, WWI and WWII. We also have on exhibit a special temporary loan of some very rare medals and patches that were worn by a local Vietnam Veteran, M. Sgt. Ray Crawford US Army Special Forces (Green Beret) who served 3 tours.
He also generously lent us a stone sculpture he made entitled Phantom as well as his Green Beret and Jungle Bush Hat. We honor and remember all of our veterans that have served our country proudly.
The exhibit will be on view from October 2 - November 13.
