Join us for our 3RD program marking America’s 250TH anniversary. After a brief business meeting where MHS members can vote on Board Positions, Bruce Clouette will present the story of how the French military arrived in America under General Rochambeau’s. The program will describe the French march through Connecticut using old maps, various historical documents, and archaeological testing. The French played a key role in the final Victory at Yorktown in October of 1781.
