Author Talk: Peter Vermilyea, “Litchfield County in the American Revolution” – Library
May 2 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm EDT
Historian and Housatonic Valley Regional High School teacher Peter Vermilyea will explore the American Revolution through the lives of Loyalists in Litchfield County, Connecticut. By tracing the stories of two well-known figures alongside lesser-known, often forgotten individuals, it reveals the personal dilemmas, divided loyalties, and local consequences of the Revolutionary War. Together, these stories highlight the Revolution’s complexity beyond simple Patriot-versus-Loyalist narratives. Books will be for sale. Registration is required at cornwalllibrary.org.
