    Theodate Pope, the architect and owner of what is now the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, Connecticut, was a passenger on the Lusitania. Why did she sail on a British ship when Britain was at war? The ship was hit by a German submarine torpedo and sank within an hour. Why wasn’t Pope in a lifeboat? Why did she jump from the ship into the water? And how did Pope survive and what were the after effects? In this episode, author and historian Mary Donohue interviews Melanie Bourbeau, Senior Curator at the Hill-Stead Museum.

    Our newest Grating the Nutmeg Podcast episode out now! Listen: bit.ly/3iLXq35
    Take a peek at Journeys 旅途: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission, on view at the Connecticut Historical Society Museum and Library (CHS) through July 2023. This exhibition honors the 150th anniversary of the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM), a cultural and educational exchange program from 1872 – 1881. Headquartered in Hartford, the CEM enabled 120 Chinese boys, most of whom were barely teenagers, to study in New England with the goal of modernizing China by educating its future leaders abroad. It is a story of hopes, dreams, sacrifice, and the life-changing experience of international exchange.

    In this episode, Museum Educator Natalie Belanger talks to Karen Li Miller and Henry Qu about their work on Journeys. What was it like to be uprooted as a teenager to live in a place that your language didn't even have a word for? What did these teens in the 1870s have in common with teenagers today? And what motivated Henry Qu to make a serendipitous stop at CHS? Listen to find out!
