Ground at dusk by Lantern Light and meet some of the individuals who
helped shape our town’s more than 375 year history. In honor of
the 10th Anniversary, all the historical figures on this year’s
program have been drawn from Lantern Light Tours past, although this
particular collection of characters (and the actors portraying them)
have never appeared together before. They have been chosen by
Wethersfield Historical Society based on their anecdotal popularity
with audiences over the past decade.Space is limited so purchase
tickets for this popular tour early! Ages 13 and up. Raindate October
