Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center to Unveil Restored and Reframed Portraits During Online Event Written by Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center
Last year for Fairfield County Giving Day, generous donors gave Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center the funds to restore and reframe two pairs of portraits in the museum’s collection.
This year, in advance of Fairfield County Giving Day, KTM&HC curators Catherine Prescott and Erika Askin will unveil the restored and reframed portraits during a Curators’ Corner program, Reuniting (and Restoring) a Family, on Tuesday, February 23 at 6:30 p.m.
The portraits are of Anna and Abijah Resseguie and Betsy and Thaddeus Keeler. During the Zoom program, Prescott and Askin will discuss the subjects of the portraits as well as the history of the paintings, including the recently acquired portrait of Betsy Perry Keeler. Board member Joel Third will relate the story of how the Betsy Perry Keeler portrait found its way to Ridgefield.
