Connecticut's State Capitol Building, an iconic building sitting atop the highest hill in the city at its construction, it is something of a hidden mecca for those interested in historical memory of the Civil War. Join Dr. Matthew Warshauer, professor of history at Central Connecticut State and former co-chair of the Connecticut Civil War Commemoration Commission, to unpack the history and public memory of this important civic space. Then, guides from the Bushnell Park Foundation will conduct a tour of the park—including the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, an anomaly in Connecticut’s Civil War memory in that it explicitly engages the issue of slavery and emancipation.
