Clark Lane Home Tour & New Timothy Baldwin Book (2015)

Over 100 descendants gathered at the Forbush Park pavilion at noon on June 15th, a sunny Saturday for a pizza picnic while hearing about the Timothy Baldwin Clark Family's journey westward related by A. Charles Clark. This was a preview from Charles's forthcoming book about Ezra's father, Timothy Baldwin Clark. We then enjoyed a walking tour of many of the ancestral homes along Clark Lane (now State Street) Most of the homes were available to view the interior and others from the porch or sidewalk. Stories were shared about the ancestors who built each home and events that occurred there as well as details about the period and architecture.

This should be a 200-word general recap of the reunion.  Things here should be the number of attendees, the program, attached at right.  Location weather, etc.  It can also cover things unusual to the standard program such as the fact that we had a kids' track and multiple breakout sessions. etc. It also marked the release of A Charles's Timothy Baldwin Clark biography and the fact that it was our first ever joint reunion with another family, the Porters. Point out that anyone who would like to watch the presentations or read a transcript may do so by selecting any of the links below. Each contains the video and script of the presentation as well as a PDF of the presentations themselves.

Farmington Museum was open for attendees to visit after the picnic. Volunteers from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers graciously gave two presentations to the children in the Charles Penrose Cabin directly east of the Rock Church and in the Primary Memorial Chapel about the role of the Clarks may have played in The First Primary depicted on the large mural at the front of the original chapel.

New Book

A. Charles Clark introduced a new book he has written about Ezra's Father, Timothy Baldwin Clark, and his Connecticut forefathers. He brought the first few printed advance copies. Charles gave a very interesting presentation of much of the history. He presented the organization with a large framed map of Milford, Connecticut showing the location of the property of our Clark immigrant ancestors -- it was hung in the parlor of the Ezra T. Clark home.

Home Tour

Family homes on Clark street were open for tours. Ezra T. Clark's original property is under development, but we were able to see at least part of the interior.  
We had permission to visit the inside of the homes of Ezra T. Clark (and Mary Stevenson Clark), Susan Leggett Clark, Timothy Baldwin Clark, Annie Clark Tanner, Eugene Henry Clark, and Joseph Smith Clark.
