Revolutionary Reward – General John Glover and his Farm House in his Retirement

This presentation will focus on General Glover’s post-Revolutionary years, when he re-started his business operations and purchased a farm in 1781, the year he re-married after his previous wife’s death in 1778 in the middle of the war, and a year before he retired from his eight long years of service in the Revolution. Updates about the state of the c.1730-50s farm house and its preservation will be included.
