The Wagunks and Connecticut’s Indigenous Communities

Learn about the rich histories of Connecticut’s first Land stewards, the vibrant Native Indian cultures just before and after European contact.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the Essex Land Trust, the Essex Historical Society, the Deep River Historical Society and the Deep River Land Trust. The program takes place on Wednesday, October 4, 7:00 p.m. at Essex Town Hall, 29 West Avenue.
