19TH CENTURY SONGS OF WHIMSY: “A Concert: 19th Century Songs of Whimsy by Tom & Friends” – Sunday, August 7 at 4:30 PM at Grant Cottage, 1000 Mt. McGregor Rd., Wilton. Those living in the United States during the 1800s shared their common humanity by seeking occasional respite from life’s daily toil and discomforts and from a Civil War that lasted for four tragic years. In response, contemporary composers offered emotional relief through music and diversion from feelings of sadness. Their music enriched private family and community occasions in a playful and (to our sensibilities) quaint manner. Many of these songs endure today – still lifting spirits and making people smile. Listen to Tess McCarthy (mezzo-soprano), David Rudnick (tenor), Joe Gitto (harmonica), and Tom Smith (guitar & Grant Cottage tour guide) present music from another period in our nation’s history for this memorable concert on Grant Cottage’s porch. This concert features a special performance of a tune composed to praise Ulysses S. Grant, likely not performed in public since the late 19th Century.

HISTORY PROGRAM: “A Visit with General and Mrs. Grant” – Saturday, September 10 at 4:30 PM at Grant Cottage, 1000 Mt. McGregor Rd., Wilton. Ulysses and Julia began their life together after their wedding in 1848. They already had faced trials of uncertainty and separation that came with the Mexican War and Grant’s career as a soldier (until he resigned from the army in 1854). The years of struggle for financial security and his eventual triumph as commander-in-chief of the Union Army in 1865 followed. Beginning in 1869, they spent 8 years in the White House during the tumultuous Reconstruction period, afterward traveling the world greeted by crowds, dignitaries, kings, queens, and emperors. Upon their return, they settled into a comfortable life centered on their children and grandchildren in their Manhattan townhouse. Whatever their circumstances, they were warmed by the joy of their happy family life and faith in each other. Join living historians Steve Trimm and Melissa Trombley-Prosch as they interpret the life of Grant Cottage’s favorite grandparent couple through anecdotes and stories in the setting of one of their last visits to Saratoga in 1882. Their beloved eldest granddaughter, little Julia (portrayed by Delilah Robinson), will accompany the couple.

HISTORY PROGRAM: “Global Peacemaking: Ulysses S. Grant as Global Peacemaker, and 61 Years of an American treasure, the Peace Corps” – Sunday, September 18 at 2 PM at Grant Cottage, 1000 Mt. McGregor Rd., Wilton. Ulysses S. Grant had a presidential campaign slogan in 1868, “Let Us Have Peace.” His slogan was certainly rooted in his Civil War experiences, but after eight years as President he traveled the world as an ambassador, and at times, a mediator for the cause of peace among people and nations. In his way, Grant was an effective advocate of global peacemaking to citizens of tthe United States. In 1961, a different kind of army was organized in an innovative and bold move by President John F. Kennedy’s administration to promote global peace, namely the Peace Corps. Peace Corps volunteers, as diverse as the countries they are of service to, are hard at work in countries across the globe. In the spirit of U.S. Grant’s commitment to peace-making, Grant Cottage wishes to honor and express our gratitude for the often unheralded service of Peace Corps volunteers. Join us on the Grant Cottage porch as tour guide Diana O’Brien and Peace Corps veterans Renee St. Jacques and David Gittelman present a program celebrating the United Nations’ International Day of Peace, Grant as a peacemaker, and mission of the Peace Corps as it enters its seventh decade of service!
