Wilton Witness Stones Collaboration

Wilton Witness Stones is a collaboration of churches from Wilton, Norwalk, and Westport, Connecticut seeking to explore the history of slavery in colonial Connecticut and honor the humanity of the enslaved individuals who helped build our communities. Working with the Witness Stones Project, Inc., youth will gather with community leaders to learn and then compose narratives through story, music, drama, poetry, and/or video to tell the story an enslaved person through primary documents from the Wilton Historical Society’s research. Finally, a Witness Stone will be laid in the person’s honor in a public ceremony.
