Avis Hayden, a Sunderland resident who has done extensive research on Lucy Prince and her family during their 50 years in Sunderland, will give a 30 minute presentation prior to the "Lost Nation" film. There is no cost for this talk but seating is limited, so early sign up encouraged.  

Here is the basic outline -- come hear Avis' talk to learn the details! 

Lucy Prince traveled from Guilford to Sunderland sometime around 1797 to settle on land that her late husband Abijah had secured the rights to.  Lucy learned that the land had been purchased by another settler.  After years of court battles, Lucy was awarded 18 acres.  Her family built a small cabin on that land. Lucy Prince lived there until her death on Jul 11, 1821.  Three of Lucy's children lived in the cabin until the last one died in 1854.  

The talk is free but space is limited so registration is required.
