LEATHERMAN
Diana Ross McCain, head of the Research Center at the Connecticut Historical Society, will share several episodes featured in her books, “It Happened in Connecticut” and “Mysteries and Legends of New England.”
Her tales include everything from witchcraft trials to the wanderings of the legendary Leatherman; from phantom ships to the Charter Oak; from Walter Camp, who invented modern football at Yale, to Amy Archer-Gilligan, who inspired the play “Arsenic and Old Lace” by poisoning guests of her Windsor boardinghouse.
The Seymour Historical Society is located at 59 West Street, near the Trinity Episcopal Church.
The program is free to Seymour Historical Society members and $3 for non-members ($5 for couples).
Doors open at 1 p.m. for those who wish to view the museum’s exhibits. Copies of Ms. McCain’s books will be available for purchase and autographing following her presentation.
