Saturday, May 9th, 2026 - 10:00AM EDT - Annette Burke Lyttle (CG) - Hybrid Meeting with Zoom Presenter
- Title : "Colonial American Migration Routes and Modes of Travel"
- PLEASE NOTE this meeting will be held on the second Saturday in March.
- When our Colonial ancestors arrived on the shores of North America in the 1600s and 1700s, many of them very quickly began migrating west. They followed rivers and created roads into the wilderness to found new settlements on the frontier. Learn about where they traveled and how they got there, as well as how to uncover the stories of their lives.
