  • Origins and Impact: The Life of Eric Hatch Object Talk

    Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

    Location: The Litchfield History Museum (7 South Street)

    Fee: FREE

    Registration Requested

    In conjunction with the recent acquisition of a portrait of the acclaimed author Eric S. Hatch, screenwriter of My Man Godfrey, the Litchfield Historical Society is excited to offer an exploration of Hatch's origins and his life in Litchfield. The portrait, depicting Hatch at around seven years old, gives insight into East Coast culture after the turn of the century and into the family Hatch grew up in. He was later an integral member of the Litchfield community and many of his accomplishments have had lasting impacts on the town and the nation. This object-based presentation and discussion will bring guests up close to the portrait of Eric Hatch and will be facilitated by the LHS summer intern, Cecelia Hooper, as a capstone of her internship.
