Samuel Huntington Wreath Laying Ceremony

July 8, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

Please join the Norwich Historical Society in partnership with the Norwich Area Veterans Council, and the City of Norwich as we honor Samuel Huntington with a wreath laying ceremony. Rain date is July 15th.

Huntington, a self-taught lawyer, was born in Scotland, CT on July 16, 1731. His illustrious career included: serving in the Second Continental Congress; being a signatory of the Declaration of Independence; and President of the Continental Congress in 1781, when the Articles of Confederation went into effect – thus making him the First President of the United States, in Congress Assembled. He later served as a 10-term governor of the State of Connecticut. His mansion on East Town Street now houses the administrative headquarters of United Community and Family Services of Norwich.

Parking for this FREE event will be at 34 East Town Street or 41-47 Town Street. Please bring your own lawn chair.
