Abigail's Ghost: Portrait of an 1830s Connecticut Town
Advertisement
Local author Kara LaBella returns to talk about the famous legend behind one of Connecticut's most haunted taverns, Pettibone Tavern. Join us as we hear about life as it was in many of our towns almost 200 years ago -- from epidemics to religious revivals to the dawning industrial revolution -- and how these happenings shaped the events and characters in her latest compelling ghost story. Copies of LaBella’s book will be available for purchase and signing for $10.
No registration required for this free program for adults.
