Leffingwell House Museum invites you to Midsummer Living History Day on Saturday, August 13, 11-3pm. The Lebanon Militia will be on site with their skilled crafters, as will Big Bear Trading Co. who can fulfill all your colonial needs! In addition we will have a special exhibit, from our Archives, of two personal Whaling Journals, actual accounts written on Whaling voyages. In addition, visitors can talk with Mary Brewster, wife of the captain of the Whaling ship Tiger, who went a-whaling with her husband in 1845. Learn about life aboard the ship, which she wrote about in the journal she kept during the voyage. See another journal from the same voyage, which was written by a young seaman from Norwich!! Men from CT went down to the sea, as did some courageous women!
Come ....immerse yourself in History at the Leffingwell.
