#InaugurationDay will have performances by 2 #NewYorkers, @ladygaga & @jlo. In 1957, #MarianAnderson broke barriers as the 1st African American to perform at inauguration. More coming soon...stay tuned!

Before we adjourn for the day, we’d be remiss not to shout out our Sciuridae friends on #NationalSquirrelAppreciationDay.
We appreciate them so very much more when they stay *outside* of our historic buildings. (The attached was to celebrate a month squirrel free in 2018.)

We've loved hosting the #ArchivesHashtagParty each month! Read the recent interview with @USNatArchives here:
We missed this great article on one of our favorite social media interactions. @USNatArchives monthly #ArchivesHashtagParty are wonderful ways for us all to see and share. Long live the hashtag party!

Wear a hat, Senator! (It’s cold out!) (Pat & Bill’s Tavern on White St, ca 1952 “If you’re selling, wear a hat! Danbury—Hat Center of the World”); 1950 Hat Parade on Main Street. (We ❤️ a meme!) #HatCityHistory #InaugurationDay #BernieSanders

What the history of presidential inaugurations means for this week's unusual events - we discuss on Episode 263 of Past Present. Listen now!
Wow quite a #HatPhoto from U.S. #History...some of the folks in this audience may have shared the story of being in this time and place as part of #FamilyHistory
And last but by no means least, this iconic image of Danbury’s own #CharlesIves in his ubiquitous fedora. #HatPhotos #HatCityHistory
We also love this Sept 1920 image by local photographer of record, Frank H Baisley. Mr Roosevelt’s hat seems perhaps not to have been properly fitted, but a great photo-op nonetheless. #HatPhoto #HatCityHistory
Quoted @MarianBWood
Tagging @DanburyMuseum which has lots and lots of #HatPhoto images, represented in decades of #FamilyHistory photos of people all over America. Want to post a fave #HatCity photo?
We *love* sharing #HatPhoto images! One of the more fun files w/i our hatting photo collections is “Famous People Wearing Hats.” So if you’ll indulge us w/ 3 favorites... 1st is famed contralto #MarianAnderson in 1963 dedicating our Huntington Hall. #HatCityHistory
Our first-in anchor sponsor is @SBDanbury. Their continued support of not only the museum’s mission, but also our rehabilitation of the #IvesBirthplace, is a tangible legacy to the Danbury community. Thank you, #SavingsBankofDanbury! #HatCityBall2021

Today is quite the snack exacta— #NationalPopcornDay and #ArchivesBrewsday! (Really, we have not been partaking—our Dropbox is misbehaving thus this non-ideal photo!) Image from our 2018 #Prohibition exhibit of Ruppert’s Danbury bottling branch. 🍻🍿 #HatCityHistory
