The New Canaan Historical Society presents New Canaan’s Revolutionary War Heroes, another presentation by one of their favorite historians, James Bach, on March 13, at 8 p.m. in the Lindstrom Room.
Bach will look back to 1776 when we were Canaan Parish and our town may have had as many as 1,000 residents. Fully 209 of them saw service during the period of the Revolution (1775-1783) in the militia and/or Washington’s Continental Army. All of Washington’s northern battles from Bunker Hill to Yorktown had one or more Canaan Parish boys in harm’s way.
Three soldiers with New Canaan backgrounds stood out in the Revolution. Bach will highlight the three soldiers.
A Revolutionary War heroes event is Monday, March 13 at The New Canaan Historical Society.
