Revolutionary Roots: Generations of Change at Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum

A new exhibition exploring untold stories of the American Revolution will be on view from June 11 through October 3, 2026 at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06856.

Opening day on June 11 begins with exhibition access from 2 pm to 4 pm, followed by a reception from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Curated by museum consultant Stacey Danielson, with assistance from curatorial researcher Midge Lopat, the exhibit commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by examining the Revolutionary War through the lives of the Lockwood and Mathews families.

The exhibition highlights newly uncovered research on Patriot ancestors, including Captain Eliphalet Lockwood of Norwalk, whose home was destroyed during the war, and Lieutenant Colonel Sampson Mathews of the Virginia Militia. Through period costumes, historical artifacts, and interpretive displays, the exhibit offers insight into their personal experiences and the broader impact of the Revolution.

Revolutionary Roots provides a deeper look at local and regional connections to America’s founding, offering visitors a meaningful perspective on the individuals and families who shaped early American history.
