Farm Team: Wilton’s Semi-Pro Baseball Team
A Lecture from Wilton Historical Society Director Nick Foster
Thursday, May 15, 6:30 to 7:30 PM
Baseball is America’s pastime for a reason. Since the 1800’s, the game has grown alongside the country, reflecting national changes and trends. This story has played out not just in Major League ballparks, but across small towns throughout the United States - including Wilton.
On Thursday, May 15th, join the Wilton Historical Society and Society Director Nick Foster as he discusses Wilton’s most popular attraction of the early 20th century - the Wilton Farmers baseball team. Learn about the Farmers’ cinematic origins, their early local dominance, their unique home field, and how baseball has always represented a constantly evolving country.
The lecture will be held at the Wilton Historical Society from 6:30 to 7:30 PM on Thursday, May 15th.
Registration is required. $10 per person for non-members, free for Wilton Historical Society Members.
