Quill pens, used since ancient times, were the essential writing tools of colonial America. Despite challenges of literacy, daily life, and scarce supplies, Revolutionary War–era Americans devised remarkably clever ways to share information, including secret spy networks. Join us on Zoom with journalist Judi Biederman for a fascinating look at colonial communication and the hidden world of Colonial Spies. Program presented in coordination with the Daughters of the American Revolution. Zoom link will be sent out in the reminder e-mail a few days before the program. * Zoom Only *
