The Ridgefield Historical Society will present a live Zoom webinar on Sunday, Oct. 18, hosted by Natalie Belanger, adult programs manager at the Connecticut Historical Society, in which she asks, “Which side are you on?”
Her question is one 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.
The seminar will take place from 3 to 4 p.m. and is free. To reserve a spot, visit the website. Space is limited.
Natalie Belanger holds a B.A. in history from Smith College and an M.A. in women’s history from the University of Maryland. She has worked in museum education for most of her career, and also teaches history courses at Manchester Community College and other area colleges.
