Norway During the Revolutionary War Period

September 22 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Yellow map of Norway during the Revolutionary War Period and a description of a September 22 program about Norway at the time of the Revolutionary War Period. You can click on this image to learn more about the program.

Please join us as we remember Norway’s early history and honor the Revolutionary War veterans whose courage and service helped shape both our country and the beginnings of Norway.

Presenters: Brad Cummings and Dennis Gray of Norway Historical Society

Program Highlights include early land grants and purchases, veterans who settled in Norway, graves in local cemeteries, and place names recognizable today. There will be a “guess the weight of the cannonball” contest for a chance to win a copy of Woody Holton’s book, “Liberty is Sweet: The Hidden History of the American Revolution.” The cannonball, believed to be from The Battle of Bunker Hill is now a Norway Museum and Historical Society collection item and will be on exhibit at the Norway Memorial Library in September and October along with other early Norway artifacts.
