The Revolutionary Spies of Fairfield
Wednesday, November 20 at 10:30 AM
Join us at the Bigelow Center for a special program presented by Walt Matis, of the Fairfield Museum. One of the most successful spy operations on either side of the war was the Culper Spy Ring. The Spy Ring was created by George Washington to obtain intelligence about the British. Benjamin Tallmadge was key in creating the spy ring.
Tallmadge became General George Washington’s chief intelligence officer, rising the rank of Colonel. The "Culper"
name was suggested by Washington, inspired by Culpeper County, Virginia. Tallmadge identified childhood friends
from Setauket. Many of them lived within a mile of each other and grew up together. He recruited them to take part in the spy ring, including Caleb Brewster, Abraham Woodhull, Austin Roe, and Nancy Strong. Registration required.
Caregivers’ Forum at the Bigelow Center
Continue the conversation about being a Caregiver. Please join us for a guided discussion about the challenges &
issues experienced by Caregivers. Wednesday, 11/20 from 3:30—4:30. Moderated by Melissa DiVito and David
Magner, Early Memory Loss Program Coordinator at Grasmere on Park, a program of Jewish Senior Services.
Friends Fall Thursday Nights conclude this week November 21: Mark Albertson presents Manipulation of Consent. As the standard by which we judge the strength of American democracy, public opinion—its origins, its development, and its influence—is a key concern of modern political science. Operating at both the individual level and the collective level, public preferences are
quite complex. Mark Alberton presents the origins of public opinion, the state of contemporary public knowledge
about politics, and the ways that political elites shape and measure public opinion.
Light supper served at 5:45. The program begin at 6:30. Cost: $5 per person. Advance PAID Registration required by Wednesday.

Date: December 10, 2019. Time: 9:00 departure. 7:45 p.m. estimated return. Cost: $114 per person, limit 52.
