Lecture: Killingworth & Clinton in the Revolution
Thursday, January 13, 2022, 6:00 p.m. - Green Room of Clinton Town Hall
This event has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule in the spring.
Murder, patriotism, and spies will be at the heart of the lecture when Dave LeVasseur presents a talk about "Clinton and Killingworth in the American Revolution" on Thursday, January 13, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. in the Green Room of Clinton Town Hall. Were the residents of Clinton and Killingworth Tories – people who were deeply loyal to the crown? Or were they ardent patriots who fought and died for American independence? Dave LeVasseur, past president of the Killingworth Historical Society and former Town Historian for Killingworth, has done extensive research and discovered the answers. Come find out the identity of the Revolutionary spy whose name was only revealed in the 1950s – and learn about one of the most horrific murders on the shoreline. This free lecture is co-sponsored by the Clinton Historical Society and the Killingworth Historical Society.

Summer Pop-Up Museums a Hit with Kids
|
During the summer open houses at the Parmelee Farmhouse, Trin Walton and Cynthia Rich hosted "Pop-Up Museums" on the farmhouse grounds. Aimed at our younger history fans, these interactive presentations allowed kids (and some adults, too) to have hands-on experiences with forgotten tools and chores that would have been part of everyday life a century or more ago.
Kids tried their hands at churning butter, quilting, and coring apples. But play was as much a focus as work with a story time and games from the 1800s. Be on the lookout for more pop-ups next summer!
