Wethersfield Historical Society

Wethersfield Historical Society will be closed on Friday, June 19 in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. We will resume our normal hours of operation on Saturday and Sunday.

Gentle reminder that tonight's installment of the American Revolution Program Series, "Founding Mothers" with Dr. Amanda Goodheart Parks is at 6:30 pm in the Keeney Ballroom (200 Main Street, Wethersfield). Dr. Parks will speak about the contributions made by Martha Washington, Mercy Otis Warren, Polly Cooper, and others that helped America win its independence.

Admission for the general public is $10, cash or check at the door. Current members of Wethersfield Historical Society are admitted free.

Friday night's American Revolution Program Series lecture has it all; a knowledgeable speaker in Joseph Morneault, an 18th century Wethersfield native (Moses Tryon), piracy, a high stakes, winner-take-all bid for freedom, and a killer title, "Captain Moses Tryon: Local Hero in a Global Conflict".

Friday, April 24 at 7:00 pm, Keeney Memorial Cultural Center, 200 Main Street, Wethersfield. Current members of Wethersfield Historical Society are admitted free. $10 for the general public. For more information, visit our website at www.wethersfieldhistory.org
