Meeting interesting people and telling them stories of our state's past is one of Walter Woodward's favorite duties as state historian. However, Walt's speaking availabilities are limited. Therefore, it is best to book as early as possible. ( For dates already booked, check the Online Calendar
There are a number of different historical lecture topics related to Connecticut history for you to choose from. Most lectures last from 30 to 45 minutes, Generally these are richly illustrated through an accompanying Power Point slide show. Walt will bring his own computer and LCD projector, but organizations should provide a stand for the computer, a projection screen, and extension cords and/or power strips sufficient for two plugs.
There is no fee to have the state historian speak to your group, but mileage from West Hartford, and any related travel expenses is requested.
