Forgotten Patriots Exhibit Opening Reception

November 14th, 7:00pm – 8:00pm. Forgotten Patriots Exhibit Opening Reception

Join the Historical Society for an opening reception for the Forgotten Patriots in the Rotary Room of the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center (200 Main Street, Wethersfield). All are welcome to attend.

Forgotten Patriots is a new interactive traveling exhibit that will be on view in the Watson Gallery of the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center from Saturday, November 15 to Sunday, March 15, 2026. While women, Blacks, and Native Peoples played a vital role in securing American independence from England, their contributions to this struggle have been too long forgotten. In honor of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Wethersfield Historical Society will explore the stories of Abner Andrews, Caesar Freeman, Elizabeth Deane, and other forgotten patriots in this exhibit.
