Revolutionary Perspectives

Leah Glaser

Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center’s (KTM&HC) Revolutionary Perspectives series continues this June with an in-person talk by Dr. Leah Glaser. Join us in KTM&HC’s Garden House on Thursday, June 5 at 7pm!

Glaser, a professor at Central Connecticut State University, will discuss how public history can raise awareness about the history of natural resources, their preservation, and what such practices can teach us about the causes of and mitigation of climate change. She’ll also share insights from her recent books: Interpreting Energy at Museums and Historic Sites and Branching Out: The Public History of Trees. This program provides fascinating context for some of the themes KTM&HC has been exploring in its newest public tour, “Beams to Balustrades,” which focuses how the museum’s historic house has utilized energy efficiency to withstand centuries of weather, generations of owners, and even a cannonball or two.

Glaser is a professor of history and coordinator of the public history program at Central Connecticut State University. She has worked in the field of public history and historic preservation for the last thirty years, consulting with municipal, state, and federal agencies, including positions at the United States Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service. For the last twenty-five years, while publishing on topics related to the history of energy, she has worked closely with the National Council on Public History to emphasize issues of environmental sustainability through conferences, committee work, and publications.

KTM&HC’s Revolutionary Perspectives series celebrates innovative approaches to how we discover, interpret, and share American history, with an emphasis on themes of memory and identity. The series is supported by a grant from the Wadsworth R. Lewis Fund. Thank you!
