Lecture: Connecticut Son: Oliver Wolcott Jr. with John Lizzi
Date: Sunday, February 22, 2026
Time: 3:00 pm.
Location: Litchfield Historical Society (7 South Street)
Cost: Free (Suggested $5 donation)
Oliver Wolcott Jr earned his reputation as one of Litchfield’s local legends. Wolcott was the nation’s second Treasury Secretary and a key figure on the national stage during the Federalist administrations of Presidents George Washington and John Adams, and was later elected Governor of Connecticut, serving for ten years.
In this presentation Dr. John Lizzi will examine Wolcott’s contributions to both national and state government during his nearly forty years of public service, as well as discuss to what extent Wolcott evolved politically during his long career. Wolcott’s success can be attributed to his steadfast commitment to his principles including personal integrity, nationalism, the need for a strong national government, and the promotion of manufacturing and industry.
Lizzi has taught social studies and history at Housatonic Valley Regional High School for the past fourteen years, and at present he lives in Burlington, Connecticut with his wife and two young children. Lizzi completed his doctoral dissertation on Oliver Wolcott Jr. last year, which served as the foundation of Connecticut Son, the first full-length biography of Wolcott's political career. This book will be available for purchase at the end of the talk.
The lecture will be held at the Litchfield History Museum, 7 South St. Litchfield, CT. Please register in advance, as space is limited. The event is free, and donations are appreciated.
