Jamestown in the 18th Century, Talk by Rosemary Enright

When: Thursday, July 9th from 1:30 – 2:30 PM

Location: Senior Center, 245 Conanicus Avenue, Jamestown, RI 02835

At the beginning of the 18th century, Jamestown was a flourishing and growing agricultural community. At the end of the century, the town was slowly recovering from the British occupation that had isolated the islands and destroyed the economy.  The talk discusses Jamestown’s beginnings and its fate during the Revolution and the years that followed.

Rosemary Enright is the JHS’s esteemed historian and author of many books and articles about Jamestown’s heritage.
