From the time of the Stamp Act in 1765 through the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781, Connecticut’s seditious colonists used songs and hymns to foment rebellion, commemorate victory, and give thanks for preservation. Historical musician Richard Franklin Donohue will bring his spinet harpsichord to the Pardee-Morris House for a positively revolutionary performance, “What A Glorious Crash They Made,” on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at 2 p.m.

“What A Glorious Crash They Made” features a collection of songs and hymns published in Connecticut during the American Revolution. Donohue will sing, sharing his original research and exploring the fiery repertoire that in the words of John Adams, “cultivated the sensations of freedom.”

We were honored to bring in the holiday this week at the Pardee Morris House with the event “Jordan Freeman: The Fight to Set a People Free”.

Kevin Johnson, a researcher with the Connecticut State Library History and Genealogy Unit, portrayed Jordan Freeman, who bravely participated in the Revolutionary War, and led an inspiring discussion. We encourage everyone to reflect on the importance of emancipation and the legacy of slavery in the United States during this holiday.
