Tuesday, September 15, 2026 from 2-3:30pm in the Kingsley Room, join us for a lecture about the Rochambeau Trail in Connecticut.
When the French came to the aid of the Americans in the Revolutionary War, 5,000 soldiers marched from RI to VA, right through CT. Hear about the 9 stops over 2 weeks, with huge logistical hurdles to manage. Join us as we explore the path General Rochambeau took in the American Revolution.
Mike Allen specializes in bringing local history to life, through his background in journalism, radio broadcasting, podcasting and public speaking. Mike is the producer and host of the popular weekly podcast on Connecticut history, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut's Beaten Path.
