Nathanael Greene and His Connection to Westerly

Join presenter Mark Murphy in our 2nd floor Auditorium for a lecture on General Nathanael Greene, who was one of the most important Rhode Islanders in the history of our state. Greene's ties are well established with Warwick, where he was born and raised, and Coventry, where he built a house and lived for a few years before heading off to war in 1775. But very little has been written about Greene's ties with Westerly. Join local historian Mark Murphy for a discussion of the Greene family's connections with Westerly during and immediately after the Revolutionary War.
Mark Murphy grew up in Pawtucket and attended Moses Brown School. Mark has a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford and an MA in History from the University of CT. He did group insurance regulatory compliance work for more than 30 years before retiring recently. Mark and his wife Regina have lived in Westerly since 2019.
