the life of Ebenezer D Bassett, our country's first African-American ambassador. Born in Litchfield but brought up in Derby and Seymour, he served in "Hayti" from 1869 to the 1870's. Also, we have a
second display on the "Black Governors," or community leaders, of Derby and Seymour. Ebenezer's father and grandfather were Black Governors of Derby. These exhibits can be seen before and after our regular Sunday programs or by appointment, 203-888-7471

and who have great programs and collections of their own.
