Free event but registration is highly recommended. Register here.

Every door tells a story. Artist Julie O’Connor will discuss the evolution of her book Doors of Weston: 300 Years of Passageways in a Connecticut Town. Published back in 2008, Doors of Weston still resonates today as it explores the themes of community, nature, art and passages through time and history. Learn about how a trip to Tibet inspired the book, how community involvement shaped Julie’s work, and how doors are accessible “portals” to understanding the evolution of Weston and its people over the last three centuries, as we celebrate America and Weston since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Copies of Doors of Weston will be available for purchase at the event for $50.00. Cash, check and card accepted. Proceeds from the sales will be divided among the three co-sponsoring organizations: Friends of the Weston Public Library, The Weston History & Culture Center and the League of Women Voters of Weston.

This event is part of the “America 250: The Revolutionary Spirit Lecture Series” co-sponsored by the Friends of the Weston Public Library, The Weston History & Culture Center and the League of Women Voters of Weston, with support by the Weston America 250 Advisory Group.
