This third of three illustrated presentations will focus on King Philip’s War and its devastating consequences for the tribes of Southern New England, including our local tribe, the Podunks. The focus of the series has been: Who were the people who were already settled on the land when Europeans first arrived in Southern New England, and where did they come from? How did they live before the Mayflower dropped anchor in Cape Cod Bay, and what changed as the European population increased? Steve Penny will take us from our roots in Africa to the last we know of the Podunks: 60,000 years of human activity in three illustrated presentations: Sundays at 1:00, March 17, April 14, and May 19, at the Manchester History Center, 175 Pine Street. Free for members; $5 for non-members; free to children under 16. Parking available along Pleasant Street and in the small lot north of the building.
