Three-part series, which follows the history of the original settlers on the land where Manchester is today. The March 17 lecture focuses on pre-European contact, the initial contact with the Europeans, and the Pequot War. The second, on April 14, focuses on the 40 years between the Pequot War and King Philip’s War, when the Narragansetts and Mohegans battled over control of the former Pequot land. The third, on May 19, is about King Philip’s War and its devastating consequences for the tribes of Southern New England, including our local tribe, the Podunks. Come to one, two, or three of the illustrated talks. Manchester attorney Steve Penny has conducted research on this topic, and has spoken throughout the area.
