Travel back in time to February of 1776 to experience the suspense, uncertainty, and courage of a world in the midst of revolution. Boston has endured a grueling siege by British forces, and whispers of attack are winding through the streets of New York. Connecticut is caught in the middle. Join the Fairfield Museum’s Walt Matis to trace the difficult decisions, rising tensions, and explosive confrontations that propel the colonies towards the Declaration of Independence in July 1776.
