Women’s history, especially during the American Revolution, is all too often understudied, misrepresented, and largely unknown. This is not the case for the members of the Dirty Blue Shirts! If you are free this evening, please join us for a potluck supper and program beginning at 6 o’clock. If you would like to just come for the program, we will begin shortly after 7 o’clock! 

Please join us for a pot-luck supper and program on Monday, September 21 at 6:00. Cromwell’s commemoration of the Semiquincentennial will continue this season with a series of programs and events focused on the anniversary.
