AMERICAN HISTORY WORKSHOPS

    Citizens for Community Values of Connecticut (CCV-CT), a grass roots organization promoting values that make communities healthy throughout the state, is sponsoring three seminars entitled “The Rewriting of America’s History” on Oct 14th and Oct 15th in Bristol and Southington.     

    Dr. Catherine Millard, historian and author, will conduct three different workshops on American history, ranging from an accurate understanding of the Founding Fathers to the origin of the term “separation of church and state."  Dr. Millard is the recipient of the 1990 George Washington Honor Medal sponsored by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge for Excellence in patriotic and individual achievement and the 1992 Faith and Freedom Religious Heritage of America.  She is the founder and president of Christian Heritage Tours, a multilingual guide service to Washington DC, Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Jamestown, Williamsburg and other historic sites with an emphasis upon American traditions and heritage. 

    All of Dr. Millard’s works are based on countless hours of research taken from the original writings found in the rare manuscript collection of the Library of Congress. Her knowledge of these men and women come from researching the personal documents and eye witness accounts of the founders of our nation. This is contrary to many other historical works which frequently use secondary sources as primary references.

    The seminars will be held at three different locations over the weekend. Hillside Community Church, (485 Broad St in Bristol) will host the event on Friday, Oct 14th from 7-9pm.The next workshop will be held at Liberty Baptist Church (265 Maple Ave in Bristol) from 9am – 12pm. The last seminar will be from 1:30 -4:30pm at Central Baptist Church (1505 West St in Southington).

    These events are suitable for adults, students, and anyone interested in an our nation’s history. You can attend any or all of the workshops as each one is different and informative. Registration is encouraged to be done in advance via the CCV-CT website at www.communitvaluesct.org. The cost is FREE but donations are suggested to help with the expenses.
