STORYTELLER CAROL BIRCH AT THE DANBURY MUSEUM!
Join us in the Marian Anderson Studio with stellar Storyteller Carol Birch as she presents: Will We Ever See their Likes Again?
This program celebrates the immigrants who, at the turn of the century, left their homes and entered the U.S. through Ellis Island to blend into the great melting pot of American culture. There are songs which speak of loved ones left behind, never to be seen again. The stories tell of women and men and children who put their faith in the untested promises of early twentieth century America. For some, dreams were abandoned; for others, the "American Dream" was made manifest.
This special history event is FREE & Open to the Public at 2pm
