How did their everyday choices about fabrics and fashion contribute to and reflect the course of the Revolution? From the mythology of homespun to legends of midnight rides in red cloaks & calashes, the Dirty Blue Shirts will share stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts, as well as a look at what they wore as their world turned upside down. This program is presented by costumed historians and includes reproduction clothing pieces & fabric samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant originals. Please join us at Harwinton Town Hall for this FREE program. Sponsored by the Harwinton Historical Society, Harwinton Public Library, and Harwinton’s America 250 Committee.

This month’s book selection is The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. Set in Hallowell, Maine during the brutally cold winter of 1789, the story begins when a man’s body is discovered entombed in the frozen Kennebec River. Midwife Martha Ballard is called to examine the corpse and recognizes the man as one of two local gentlemen accused of a recent sexual assault. When a male physician dismisses the death as an accident, Martha uses her meticulous diary entries to conduct her own investigation and seek justice. Books are available to borrow.
