Bundling & Bedsteads at the Hempsted Houses -- Friday, July 19

Join us on Friday to explore colonial attitudes toward love, marriage, passion and fidelity. With New London City Historian Sally Ryan. Our hostess is Hannah Hempsted, who lived here in the late 1700s and raised nine children in our stone house.

Enjoy refreshments and beverages that would have been served at a wedding in the 1700s. Two programs, one at 6 and one at 8 p.m.; $25/$20 for Connecticut Landmarks members. Space is limited and reservations are encouraged; call 860-443-7949 or email hempsted@ctlandmarks.org to register.
