350th Anniversary of Joshua’s Land Grant
May 14 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
On May 14, join us as we mark 350 years of Windham with its founding story. We’ll commemorate Joshua Uncas of the Mohegan Nation, who gifted the land, and Robin Cassacinamon, governor of the Pequot Nation, who guided the first settlers to what would become Windham County.
The evening will include a presentation exploring the roles of Joshua Uncas and Robin Cassacinamon in King Philip’s War, the contents of Uncas’s will, and the story of that first English journey into Windham County. A display will feature a copy of Uncas’s will, historical maps, and artifacts provided by the Mohegan tribe.
THIS IS AN OUTDOOR EVENT UNDER A TENT. PLEASE DRESS FOR THE WEATHER AND BRING A COMFORTABLE LAWN CHAIR!
Light refreshments provided.
