Seymour Public Library slates program on Revolutionary Connecticut

SEYMOUR - Seymour Public Library will host a program about the Revolutionary War at 6:30 p.m. April 17.

"Tories, Spies, & Traitors: Divided Loyalty in Revolutionary Connecticut" will be presented by Mya Concepcion of The Connecticut Museum of Culture & History.

Which side are you on? 

That's the question that every single person in Connecticut had to answer in 1775, as the 13 colonies began a rebellion against British rule. Loyalty was not only a matter of words or opinion. For soldiers and civilians alike, loyalty could mean loss of fortune, of friends, and even of life. 

This presentation reveals stories - some well known, some obscure - of Nutmeggers who risked and sacrificed to support their chosen side.

The program is free. For more information call 203-888-3903.

The Library is at 46 Church St.
