1 of 3 of the East Lyme Historical Center Lecture Series

After a destructive relationship with her master, a pregnancy, and the mysterious death of her illegitimate newborn son, Mercy Bramble, a beautiful young indentured servant, is condemned to death for the crime she swears she did not commit. Inspired by true events in 1750s New London, Connecticut, Gallows Road takes readers on a harrowing journey of love, betrayal, and injustice.

This program will take place in the East Lyme Senior Center.

This season, we're pleased to help promote the East Lyme Historical Society's three-part lecture series with local historians and authors. For more information, please contact Janet Carlson at jkcarlson19@gmail.com.
