As the country prepares to celebrate America’s 250^th Anniversary next year, The library is presenting a few programs this summer leading up to the celebration that present our Bristol, Connecticut, and American heritage.

Tuesday July 1 @ 6:30 PM: This program features a collection of “New Songs” and Hymns published in Connecticut  during the American Revolution. From the time of the Stamp Act through the British surrender at Yorktown, Connecticut’s seditious colonists used these works to foment rebellion, commemorate victory, and give thanks for preservation.  Richard Franklin Donohue, Tenor & Harpsichord, will explore this fiery repertoire that, in the words of John Adams, “cultivated the sensations of Freedom.”  18+ RSVP online at www.bristollib.com. FREE to attend!
