Over forty people came to hear an hour-long presentation entitled “The History of Sowams, the 17th century home of Massasoit” held at the George Hail Library in Warren. Dr. David Weed, Coordinator of the Sowams Heritage Area Project talked about how he got involved in the project and then shared much of what he has learned in the past two years about the 17th century, especially in the Town of Warren. “When they reburied the Massasoit right behind my house in Burr’s Hill two years ago, I said this is something I need to learn more about.” Much of what he has learned since then is now on this website.People in attendance expressed a lot of support for making the Sowams region into a National Heritage Area someday so that people who come to visit the area will learn about its unique history. Click here for a one-hour video of the presentation.
