Join Dr. Matt Warshauer, historian from Central CT State University, for an enthralling account of the Forlorn Soldier statue at the Connecticut State Capitol followed by a Civil War Tour of the Capitol building.

Following two successful forums on the RTM and the Board of Finance, The LWV of Westport will host three (3) elected members of the Westport Board of Education for an in-depth panel and discussion on how the BOE operates each year.

Learn about government and architecture "then" and "now" with special tours and activities at the Connecticut State Capitol and Connecticut's Old State House.

For many white women, the idea of niceness is ingrained from an early age as a virtue. But what exactly does it mean to be nice? Does it require silence? An avoidance of anything supposedly unpleasant? An uncritical going with the flow?

Part 4 of this 4-part series presented by the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, will be on Spiritual Bypassing and Toxic Positivity: “We have to stop dwelling on the past and move forward” .
