Learn About Sam's Encampment!
Redding Archaeology; Open Spaces and University Excavations
Over the last few years, Redding's open space and planning policies have led to the preservation and study of important archaeological sites. Several college and university archaeological field schools have brought hundreds of students from around the world to unearth Redding's illustrious past.
This Saturday, you are invited to attend a lecture describing Western Connecticut State University's work at the 1778-79 Revolutionary War Middle Encampment. The same encampment "Sam" of My Brother Sam is Dead wintered at prior to his unfortunate execution.
This Lecture will be presented at 3pm on Saturday at the Redding Community Center. Under the leadership of Dr. Laurie Weinstein, Bethany Morrison, and Dr. Cosimo Sgarlata, the Limeklin/Wortleberry Road 1778-79 encampments have been surveyed, mapped and excavated over that past several years. This historic site was part of General Israel Putnam's army that camped here to protect Danbury, Long Island Sound and the Hudson River Valley from British invasion.
Students from WCSU have summered here since 2007 and this talk will discuss the background of the site's history, their research and methodological strategies, highlighted by slides from their field studies.
