| history |
William A Slater founded the Slater Memorial Museum, in 1886, to memorialize his father, John Fox Slater (1815-1884). He sponsored the construction of Norwich’s “Broadway Theater” and numerous performances in it. At the same time, his philanthropy provided for the expansion of educational opportunities and affordable access to the arts for Norwich’s citizens. His generosity touched every resident of the city in someway.
