New episode of our podcast out now! Listen: bit.ly/3xwgMNX

Connecticut Historical Society Museum and Library's current special exhibition explores how society has sought and continues to seek care for the mind and mental health. Common Struggle, Individual Experience: An Exhibition About Mental Health(Presented by Hartford HealthCare Institute of Living) uses letters, photographs, and other artifacts to highlight the experiences of Connecticans from the past. Oral history interviews, recorded in 2020 and 2021, share the perspectives of people today.

In this episode, Natalie Belanger speaks with her CHS colleagues who worked in crafting this timely exhibition. Ben Gammell is the CHS's Director of Exhibitions, and Karen Li Miller is Research Historian. Together, they talk about the challenges of speaking for historical people who can't speak for themselves, and how honored they felt to be entrusted with the stories of current Connecticans living with mental health challenges. ...

In doing Ancestry, I've discovered that I'm related to the Hinmans, Palmers and Minors. Also the Dennisons. Have wondered if she was a distant rekative and hope to find that out someday! Also found a book called "Denizens" which is waiting to be read.
