The Amity and Woodbridge Historical Society will host author Anthony V. Riccio author of "Farms, Factories, and Families: Italian American Women of Connecticut"
This captivating book is the story of Italian American women who tell their largely unknown history in their own words, through oral history interviews and photographs. As quiet heroic figures, they stood behind husbands and managed the family economy, invested in real estate, put aside money for their children's education, cooked meals, nurtured large families and joined men on production lines and more than held their own.
Please join us on Sunday, May 18th, 2014 from 2-4pm at The Willows (225 Amity Road in Woodbridge, CT) to hear Anthony speak about his book, and meet some of the profiled women's families. Mr. Riccio will also be available for book signing. The event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served. Please Join Us!
Please join us for an open house at the Thomas Darling Museum at 1907 Litchfield Turnpike, Woodbridge CT on Sunday May 4th from 2 to 4 PM. Tours will run throughout the afternoon and the event is free. Come and learn what life was like in the late 1700′s for the Darling Family, and see what a well preserved period home looks like. Hope to see you there!
