The Reverend John Eliot, an early arrival to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, believed his life’s mission was to convert the Native Americans to Christianity. He established a series of “Praying Indian” villages in Central Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut. These villages were the beginnings of the communities of Webster-Dudley, Thompson, CT, Woodstock, CT, and Oxford-Sutton among others. Linda Casey, local historian and author will relate the fascinating story of John Eliot, the “Apostle to the Indians.” Registration required.
