Weston Historical Society
The Weston Historical Society’s exhibit, “Three Women Who Made Weston Weston” will come alive during its closing event on Friday, January 31, 2020 at 7:00 pm. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP to info@westonhistoricalsociety.org or 203-226-1804. The Weston Historical Society is located at 104 Weston Rd. in Weston, CT. The parking lot can be accessed from High Acre Rd., off Weston Road.
The evening will feature a dramatic performance and reception. Three actresses will portray the women highlighted in the exhibit — Alice DeLamar, heiress & patron of the arts, Eva Le Gallienne, renowned actress, and Katharine Ordway, heiress & conservationist. Famous in their respective fields, DeLamar, Le Gallienne and Ordway were also celebrated as conservationists. Their combined donations of hundreds of acres of open space ensured Weston’s natural beauty today.
The performance will be given by Marty Bishop of Bethel, Samantha Kulish-Fargione, Weston Historical Society executive director, and Dr. Darla Shaw of Ridgefield. Their characters will discuss their early years, life accomplishments, and their connection to Weston and each other. “We are excited for Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Kulish-Fargione and Dr. Shaw to bring these three influential women to life before our eyes,” said Pamela Kersey, Weston Historical Society president.
The “Three Women Who Made Weston Weston” exhibit will be on view every Thursday in January 2020 from 2 to 4 pm and by appointment.
