In late May of 1690, an enslaved man called James escaped from the household of Richard Dole in pursuit of his freedom. James was one of eight people enslaved by Dole on this site, prior to the construction of the current Dole-Little House. His capture resulted in the unraveling of a conspiracy that if successful would have been the largest organized revolt in New England. Dr. Tricia Peone, project director for New England's Hidden Histories at the Congregational Library & Archives in Boston, and former research scholar for Historic New England's Recovering New England's Voices project presents this talk and landscape tour.
This talk is exclusively outdoors and includes some walking. Meet at the Lower Green near the First Settlers monument.
