On Thursday June 16, 2022 at 7:00 P.M., the Bristol Historical Society will be hosting guest speaker Jane Williamson.

Jane Williamson will be speaking at Howden Hall on Finding Jesse: A Fugitive from Slavery in Vermont. "Finding Jesse: A Fugitive from Slavery in Vermont" traces Jesse's life from enslavement in North Carolina to freedom in Vermont. His story is told through letters in the collection at Rokeby Museum and documents at the North Carolina State Archives. The illustrated talk brings the narrative of one slave out of anonymity and explores his life and pursuit of freedom.

The talk, part of the Historical Society's monthly meetings at Howden Hall, 19 West St., is free and open to the public.
