On Saturday September 7th 1p.m. Dr. Doug Rader will present his talk: Contentnea: the historical footprint of Quakers in northern Wayne County
Quakers were some of the first European settlers in this area, migrating from other colonies and England seeking new opportunities and a safe haven from religious persecution. They are one of the most important groups in the history of the county and 250 years after the arrival of those first settlers, the Quaker community is still strong in Wayne County. The presentation will be no longer than 1 hour and will be held on the second floor of the Wayne County Museum. It's free and open to the public.
