History Lecture at Millbrook Library: "Life in Charlotte Precinct During the Revolution"

Join the Millbrook Historical Society at the Millbrook Library for this free program, open to the public. During the Revolutionary Era, the entirety of central Dutchess, the area now comprising the towns of Washington, Clinton, Stanford, Pleasant Valley and Hyde Park, was organized as Charlotte Precinct. Named after King George III’s wife, the precinct would become a hotbed of revolutionary fervor in the years leading up to the war. Join Dutchess County Historian Will Tatum for an exploration of this pivotal part of Dutchess County and the experiences of its residents from the 1760s into the 1780s.
