SUMMARY:History of the Mystic River in Maps: 1620-1960 with George Crouse
DESCRIPTION:    George Crouse\, President of the Indian & Colonial Research Center and retired social studies teacher and geographer\, will lead us through the historic maps of the Mystic River Valley from the collections of the Indian & Colonial Research Center (ICRC) on Thursday\, September 14th at 6 pm at the La Grua Center in Stonington. The ICRC was formed in 1965 to preserve the extensive historical collections of Mrs. Eva Lutz Butler\, a teacher\, local historian\, and anthropologist. Collections include manuscripts\, out of print books\, vintage maps and photographs\, Indian artifacts\, genealogical material and notebooks relating to the Southeastern New England Indian and Colonial period. \nHistoric maps provide invaluable insights into historical research including land uses\, property boundaries\, family genealogy and inheritance practices. These maps often note aspects of the cultural landscape that can be obscured over time. In the digital world of google maps and ubiquitous GPS devices\, cartography is something of a lost art. Cartographers combined extensive skills in science\, engineering\, and surveying combined with beautiful artistic flourishes to create lasting images of the landscape. \nGeorge Crouse is a graduate of Stonington High School and taught social studies and served as the tennis coach there for more than 40 years. He has also served in local government on the Board of Police Commissioners\, more than five years as a selectman\, and also as an interim first selectman. \nThis program is free and open to all. The Stonington Historical Society seeks to preserve\, interpret\, and celebrate the history of all of Stonington. Founded in 1895\, the Society operates the Old Lighthouse Museum (1840)\, the Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House (1853)\, a National Historic Landmark\, and the Richard W. Woolworth Library & Research Center.  For additional information please contact Elizabeth Wood\, Executive Director\ndirector@stoningtonhistory.org                                  860-535-8445 x10
