Don't Miss Our June Event!
"East Haddam: The Epicenter of New England Folklore", presented by Dr. Stephen Gencarella

Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 7:00 PM

Join us for this lively presentation! Many places in New England claim to be the home of fascinating legends, yet no town matches East Haddam for its fantastical stories! Professor Stephen Gencarella, a folklorist at UMass Amherst and author of several books on New England folklore, will share how centuries of tales of the Moodus Noises—from precolonial times to the present, coupled with tales about the Devil’s Hopyard, ghost stories, historical legends, and remarkable anecdotes about a supernatural black fox -- make East Haddam the epicenter of New England folklore.
 
Dr. Stephen Gencarella is the author of Spooky Trails and Tall Tales Connecticut: Hiking the State's Legends, Hauntings, and History. He is the resident folklorist for the Connecticut River Museum and lives in Old Lyme, CT. We look forward to seeing you for this evening of fun and folklore!!
