Walking tours are back! Join us this Saturday for our first of the season: Hidden Histories-Black Westport. Traverse downtown Westport and learn the hidden history of Black Westport, based on the Museum’s award-winning exhibit 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵. Trained guides reveal the untold stories of the region’s Black community from colonial times through today. From enslaved people to soldiers, sailors, activists, artists, and respected citizens this rich history is deeply explored through existing buildings and long destroyed sites. Follow along with our virtual exhibit of the same name online here.
