Future Vernon and the American Revolutionary War
On June 11th at 6:30pm in the Council Chambers of the Vernon Town Hall, 14 Park Place, Professor Donald Rogers and Museum Director, Jean Luddy return to talk about the Revolutionary War in Connecticut. After discussing events on the national and state levels, they will share stories of men and women from North Bolton, many who responded to the call to battle and the multitude who stayed at home supporting the war effort. Their careful research will illuminate many stories about the hardships that North Bolton residents endured during the war and the lives of indigenous and enslaved people who lived in town during this era. The talk will highlight many social changes brought by the war to North Bolton, and will conclude with stories of later Vernon celebrations of the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, our foundational document.
