Join us on Wednesday, April 22, at 7:30 PM. Bev York will present “The Sons of Liberty in Windham County.” Buchanan Auditorium, Mansfield Library, Mansfield, CT.
250 years ago, American colonists fought for independence from British rule. Bev York’s presentation will illustrate some of the many ways that Connecticut’s men and women participated in the cause. Back then, Windham County was one of the hotbeds of resistance activity. Some of the same patriots who served on the Connecticut Assembly and on the Governor’s Council of Safety were radical rebels by night. And there were Ladies of Liberty who were leaders in the resistance effort, too. As always, Bev will make the history lesson both informative and entertaining.
This program is free and open to all.
