Item Description
Picture Show & lecture by William Hosley, noted Connecticut historian. Connecticut has 169 towns and as many community-based historical museums. Most are small. Many are run by volunteers. No two are alike. They preserve and present great local stuff and stories. They collect. They offer public programs. They advocate for preservation. They serve schools and greet tourists. They are a civic miracle. This is their story and why they matter. Curator, museum director, public speaker, project manager, writer, photographer and cultural resource entrepreneur, Bill Hosley has more than 30 years work experience in museums and historic preservation. Former employers and affiliations include the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, Historic Deerfield, Winterthur Museum, Wadsworth Atheneum and, most recently, Connecticut Landmarks and the New Haven Museum where he served as executive director. Hosley founded Historic Hartford, Inc. and was the co-founder of the Greater Hartford Arts CouncilâÂÂ?ÂÂ?s Arts & Heritage Action Partnership. Author of five books and dozens of articles, a founding advisor to Connecticut Explored, and contributor to The Hartford CourantâÂÂ?ÂÂ?s PLACE, his work has appeared in dozens of magazines and newspapers. He has written dozens of successful grant proposals and has harnessed resources to execute projects ranging in cost from a hundreds of dollars to more than one million.
