The mission of this web site is to promote and to create an awareness of the history and cultural legacy of Redding, Connecticut, Georgetown, Connecticut and Branchville, Connecticut.

I do not receive money for these programs and exhibits...no federal grants, no state funds, no angel investors. Your donations & site sponsorships help me dedicate more time to these projects and allow me to get them online sooner. At the present I work on these projects late at night and on weekends (when my wife isn't paying attention).

Current Projects (click links to pop-up examples in new window):

• The Mark Twain Centennial Project- This project's objective is to promote and raise awareness of Clemens' time in Hartford and Redding, Connecticut.

• Pride in Place. Programs that help local children realize all the history that surrounds them and get them excited about where they live.

• Walking Tours & Slideshows of Redding, Georgetown and Branchville. Spring and Fall. Next Tour: October 24th in Georgetown.

• Online Tours via Google Maps- Tour of My Brother Sam is Dead towns, events and locations related to the novel and Mark Twain's Redding.
