We talk about Weymouth, Marshfield, Dracut, and Sharon.  Local history--how excited the local historians were to hear from them, and what we learned about our towns in the Revolution.  There is more to Sharon than Deborah Sampson--did you know that Sharon had an iron foundry that produced the first cannon the Americans used?  Or that 37% of the people in Dracut marched off to war--or that the war nearly began in Marshfield in 1775, or that Wessagusset/Weymouth turns 400 in 2022, and is the birthplace of Abigail Adams?  
Or that Peleg Loud, a soldier from Weymouth, fought at New York but wondered if he would ever see Weymouth again?
