Join us, along with the Old Colony History Museum, to learn about current efforts to establish a Sowams Heritage Area in East Bay Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. Project Coordinator David Weed will share the area’s significance, including over fifty locations revealing the early history of Massasoit’s tribe, the locations where the King Philip War began and ended, and how the English nearly exterminated the native people who had lived in the area for over 10,000 years.

Free and open to the public

Location: Old Colony History Museum, 66 Church Green, Taunton

Refreshments will be served at 5:3oPM, presentation begins at 6PM
