We are back offering another round of interesting topics presented by regional historians, professors and scientists! Here are the details for our 4th lecture of the spring season....
Jim Manson, Professor, Champlain College of Vermont presents:
Uneasy Alliance: Loyalists and Yankee Land Grabbers in the Eastern Townships, 1800-1814
This lecture focuses on the practical, but not always comfortable, relationship between the Americans who were persecuted during and after the the American Revolution and settled in the Eastern Townships during the early 1780's and mid 1790's and the "late loyalists" who were inspired to settle in the Townships because of the lure of cheap land and low taxes.
10$ Canadian/US (cash), Handicap accessible in rear of building, refreshments and conversation to follow. *NOTE:* An enhanced drivers license is suitable ID to cross into Quebec and return to the US.
