About this event

September 7, 4:00 pm. Filmmaker and director Robert Steven Williams will uncover the facts for us behind his film “Gatsby in Connecticut, the Untold Story.” With historian Richard Webb, Williams dug into the Princeton University Archives; they interviewed many scholars of the book’s author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, met with Scott and Zelda’s granddaughter. Who was the mysterious millionaire that inspired the character of Jay Gatsby? What was the real inspiration for Gatsby’s mansion? And why doesn’t the geography of the novel reflect that of Long Island rather than that of Connecticut? Our inquiring speaker Williams has the answers and more.t.

Pierpont Morgan. Tours of the historic mansion are offered daily, as well as Tea & Talks, such exhibitions as the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater and other programs.
