Lunch and Learn – From Winchester to War: The Story of Lewis Hazzard of the 29th Connecticut

Join us as Sandra Taitt Eaddy, a genealogist and historian, shares her research on Lewis Hazzard, a Civil War soldier who enlisted in the 29th Connecticut Colored Infantry Regiment. With roots tracing from Rhode Island to Winchester, Connecticut, his life tells a story of family, service, and sacrifice during a defining moment in our history. 

Sandra will explore his family background, enlistment and service, and the circumstances surrounding his death during the war. Along the way, she will show how genealogical and historical research can bring the lives of ordinary people, and their extraordinary contributions into clearer view. 

This virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link.
