On Wednesday, February 26th, from 1:00pm-4:00pm, Putnam Cottage is having an Open House to commemorate Israel Putnam’s skirmish with the British and the public is welcome to attend for tours and refreshments.
Putnam Hill DAR is on a membership drive and genealogy help can be given to trace to a patriot or person who aided in the American Revolution, if interested. Fun activities are planned throughout the year.
The Chapter also has a Children of the American Revolution group for students age 1 to 22 years.
