Essex Historical Society and Essex Meadows present History Hour.  This FREE public program features a new speaker, author, lecturer, or musician each month presenting a topic of regional history.  

April's Topic is Revolution Close to Home: Five Lives in Early Potapaug during America's Turning Point

Patriots and Loyalists, enslaved and free, women and warriors.  Essex Historical Society (EHS) Director Melissa Josefiak details the complex relationships and shifting allegiances during the American Revolution in the Potapaug village of Saybrook, now known as Essex.  Learn about five unforgettable individuals whose experience reflected these tumultuous times.  

History hour is FREE and open to the public at Essex Meadows.  We recommend arriving to Hamilton Hall by 9:50 am as seating is available first-come, first-served. No need to register for this event.
