CFPL: Women of the Great Field: The Robbins and Garrison Women and their Neighbors

Join us for a Women's History discussion with The Robbins House on the history of the women residents of the Great Field, a predominantly African American and indigenous area of Concord in the 19th century. Hear some of the stories and accomplishments of women like Lydia Bay, Fatima Robbins, Susan Garrison and others who lived and worked on the periphery of the town in the 1800s. This event is generously cosponsored by The Robbins House: Concord's African American History and The Concord Free Public Library.
