On August 12, AHP will be co-hosting a gathering to commemorate the 350th anniversary of King Philip’s War.
Our Guest Speaker is Beth Lambright, Member at Large and Chair of the Education Committee, The General Society of Mayflower Descendants. She will discuss the various crises that affected the Pokanoket people in the 17th Century that led to King Philip’s War.
Enjoy a summer picnic on the beautiful grounds of Bartley Ranch Regional Park and the Historic Huffaker Schoolhouse. This family-friendly event features activities for adults and children, including lectures inside the schoolhouse on the subject that brings us together: the 350th anniversary of King Philip’s War, which took place in the year 1676, and was a major event in the history of early America.
Co-hosting the event will be the Nevada Mayflower Society, the Colonial Dames XVII Century, and the Order of Founders and Patriots of America. Come learn about this important event in our nation’s history and hear from representatives of several leading heritage societies in the United States, all of whom are descendants of men and women who lived in New England in the 17th Century, and who will share information with our guests about their organizations.
This event is free to members of the public, so please join us and bring your family and friends.
