episode Connecticut's Revolution, Season 1.5 Ep. 3: King George III Statue Fragment cover

Connecticut's Revolution, Season 1.5 Ep. 3: King George III Statue Fragment

In the 1770s, Americans had big feelings about King George III, so much so that a 4,000 pound lead sculpture of him that was installed in 1770 on Bowling Green, New York, was torn down by 1776. Dramatic as that sounds, what happens to 4,000 pounds of anything? And how did a caped shoulder of the statue end up at the Museum of Connecticut History? As usual, every item has a story.   Learn about King George III, his statue, and why we have a piece of the sculpture on this week's episode of Small but Mighty: Connecticut's Revolution.

Connecticut's Revolution, Season 1.5 Ep. 2: The 2nd Regiment of Light Dragoons Flag

The 2nd Regiment of Light Dragoons was made up of hundreds of brave soldiers, one of which was Private Joseph Robins, an Indigenous man who may have belonged to the Nipmuc, Pequot, Mohegan, or Narragansett nations. While we don't know why he enlisted in the military, we're able to follow a bit of his journey through his wife Elizabeth Robins. What we do know is that he was chosen by George Washington as one of 20 soldiers to receive Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown! Learn about the 2nd Regiment of Light Dragoons and Private Joseph Robins on this week's episode of Small but Mighty: Connecticut's Revolution.

Never More Than 15 Minutes Away!

In this lively episode of Under the Charter Oak, Ashley, Kym, and Matt welcome a special guest from outside the library world, Kristen Bellantuono from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) State Parks. Kristen oversees beloved statewide programs including No Child Left Inside, and the long‑running Sky’s the Limit Hiking and Walking Challenge, which will probably occupy the rest of Kym's year, that leaderboard is everything to her. Together the group discuss how DEEP works to make outdoor recreation safe, educational, and accessible for everyone. Which state parks will you visit this year?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
