Let History Come Alive! General Israel Putnam Reenactment

Kenneth Noll portrays General Israel Putnam as the beloved, honorable farmer and patriot that he was. 

General Putnam will describe his life on his farm, his time as a tavern-keeper, his role in the French and Indian War, as well as his service as second in command to General Washington in the Revolutionary War. He was able to win the trust and respect of his men because they saw him as one of their own. Having served previously with many of the Revolution’s British officers, he commanded their respect, too. Registration is recommended.

Kenneth Noll, Professor Emeritus, UConn, also portrays Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens.

This event is co-sponsored with the Waterford Public Library.
