Newbury Historical Society Program

On Sunday, September 27th at 7:00pm, at the Wells River Congregation Church, 76 Main Street North. Wells River native Hod Symes will present "The Gateway to Wells River, 1770-1853", or "Who moved the Wells river?" A lot was happening in Wells River during the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. Symes will explain the what, how and the where and why Wells River Village grew during that period of time and of course will answer the question "Who moved the Wells river". In 1853 something happened that ended what had existed the previous 83 years. Symes will reveal the events that ushered in the next phase of Wells River Village in 1853. Hod Symes grew up in Wells River and is the author of The "Cross-Road" - A History of Wells River Vermont, and was recently elected President of the Newbury Historical Society.

The church is ADA accessible and light refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public.
