Did you know that Enfield was founded as part of Massachusetts, and if not for the American Revolution we might still be part of our northern neighbor today? How did this happen? How did the border between the two states finally get settled, and what’s it like today? Join the Enfield Historical Society’s Susan Bigelow for a presentation on all facets of the boundary line that so many of us cross every day.

 

Thursday, September 17, 6:00 PM at the Enfield Public Library
