Lecture: Exploring the World of Magician Albert Walker at the Connecticut Historical Society
Magician and historian Robert Olson, known to many for his work at Old Sturbridge Village and his performances as 19th-century magician Richard Potter, will present a program highlighting the Connecticut Historical Society's Albert Walker collection, part of which is featured in CHS's Making Connecticut exhibit.
Robert Olson will talk about the life and work of Albert Walker, born in Glastonbury in 1836, and the value and importance of the extensive and unusual collection (paper ephemera, diaries, personal papers, and magician's props) that was acquired by the CHS in 2007.
