Norwich Historical SocietySummer 2016
The busy calendar of events at the Norwich Historical Society is motivated by the desire to make our town’s rich heritage accessible to its residents, but it is shaped by the belief that learning his-tory can be active and engaging. During last year’s warm-weather months visitors explored town history through the sixth annual House and Garden Tour and through monthly walking tours: Main Street (June and July), Lewiston (May and September) and the Waterman Cemetery (August). September brought the annual Norwich Antiques Show under the tent at Lewis House. In October we hosted young ghosts and goblins at the spooky Lewis House barn, where they peeked into the old town hearse and clambered about in the old jail. In November and December a festively decorated Lewis House welcomed visitors to a Victorian Christmas, complete with a children’s nursery and scale replica of the Norwich
Inn in gingerbread. Between October and May NHS co-sponsored, with the Nor-wich Public Library, the stimulating First Wednesdays lectures. A winter workshop series entitled Bringing History to Life included workshops on writing memoir, researching the history of your house and preserving recipes and family artifacts. Look for all of these popular events to return, updated for 2016–17.
Throughout the year we welcome
visitors to view our changing exhibits—see Polly Forcier’s collection of histori-cally based decorative arts from late June through the summer—and to access our collections for local history research. We do this through the generosity of our com-munity and business members and volun-teers. Please check our web site or the list serve for other events and remember that admission to Lewis House itself is always free. Please visit us!
12TH ANNUAL NORWICH ANTIQUES SHOWSaturday, September 10, 10am – 4pm
HOUSE AND GARDEN TOUR 2016Saturday, June 25, 2016, 10am – 4pm
“The Art of the Garden” is the theme of the 2016 House and Gar-den Tour. Local plein air painters will set up their easels in the gardens of five beautiful Norwich homes, allowing visitors to see the gardens through the artists’ eyes. This year’s tour features a range of properties,
from a grand old Federal-style with gardens designed by Norwich’s Bill Noble to a jewel box of an attached “grandparents’ house.” At a country cape walkways wind through a com-plex of perennial and shade gardens. The gardens surrounding a compact energy-efficient house include hun-dreds of varieties perennials, trees
and shrubs, some commonplace, some highly unusual. Sweeping landscaping frames the house once occupied by Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan). At noon visitors can take a break and return to Lewis House for a talk about art, artists and gardens by Dan Gottsegen, a Woodstock art-
ist nationally known for his engage-ment with the natural environment. The talk is free to tour ticket-holders on a first-come-first-served basis. The plein air artists’ framed works will be offered for sale from 3 – 4 pm on the tour day (June 25) and through the month of July at Lewis House.

BOARD COMINGS AND GOINGS
We are especially grate-ful to retiring NHS trustee Cathy McGee for her years of service on the board, most notably as the founder and chair of the House and Gar-den Tour.
We welcome Becky Cook and Karen Lubell to the Board.
Don’t miss this wonderful show that attracts some of the region’s finest antiques dealers, showcasing fine country to formal antiques on the beautiful grounds of the Norwich Historical Society. As in the past, Bill Smith of William A. Smith Auctioneers & Appraisals has generously donated his marquee tent for the show, and will offer an informal appraisal session in the barn. Good food, educational booth “chats” throughout the day, raffle, rain or shine!

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD
This year we hon-ored Nancy Osgood, whose decades of ser-vice include years as a board member and president and, most recently, as chief curator of the col-lections. Thank you Nancy!
We also recognize the consistent sup-port of Bill Aldrich
and Roger Blake, without whose unas-suming assistance we could not function. Finally, to all those volunteers who help with everything from the garden tour to school programs to writing articles for this publication, hats off! We couldn’t do it without you.

The Norwich Historical Society wishes to thank all those who chose to remember the late Nancy Hoggson with memorials gifts shortly after her death in January. Nancy led the Norwich Historical Society for many years, first as consul-tant, then trustee, and for five years as President, and she was committed to many other wor-thy causes in the community. Her presence, spirit and good humor will be sorely missed.
