A Minute Reading of the signing of the Declaration of Independence
Continuing the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the historical societies of South Windsor, Manchester, Glastonbury, and Bolton have joined together to present a series of four programs on topics related to the American Revolution with Dr. Warshauer as speaker. The presentations will rotate among the four towns. The South Windsor Historical Society's program will be held in spring, 2026. This first program will prepare us to watch the ken Burns documentary on the Revolutionary War, starting on November 16 on PBS stations across the country. "Watch Parties" will be encouraged so that we can discuss what we have learned and relate the events from the past to our current experiences.
No lawn chairs are needed because we will be chatting inside.
