Seymour Public Library welcomes Mya Concepcion, Museum Educator from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, for a free and in-person lecture, “Tories, Spies, and Traitors: Divided Loyalty in Revolutionary Connecticut” on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 6:30 P.M.
Which side are you on? That’s the question that every single person in Connecticut had to answer in 1775, as the thirteen colonies began a rebellion against British rule. Loyalty was not only a matter of words or opinion. For soldiers and civilians alike, loyalty could mean loss of fortune, of friends, and even of life. This presentation reveals stories— some well-known, some obscure— of Nutmeggers who risked and sacrificed to support their chosen side.
This program is free and open to all. Registration is not required. The Seymour Public Library is located at 46 Church St., Seymour, CT 06483. Please call the library at 203 – 888-3903 for more information.
