About the event
The quarterly business meeting of the Wallingford Historical Society will be held on May 20th at 7PM. Following the meeting, prepare to be captivated by a presentation about Wallingford's very own, Moses Y. Beach.
Get ready to be inspired by Susan Huizenga, Executive Director of WPAA-TV! This is your golden opportunity to explore the incredible world of a hometown inventor, the visionary founder of the Associated Press, a former diplomat, a generous philanthropist, and a passionate advocate for education right here in Wallingford. Join us for an engaging and lively presentation where Susan will encourage you to share your insights about Mr. Beach. Together, we'll rediscover the nearly forgotten legacy of this extraordinary man and delve into how he, as a social disruptor, entrepreneur, and science enthusiast in Antebellum America, made an unforgettable impact on our nation's history!
Following the program, refreshments will be available to all.
