PITTSFIELD, Mass. — On Tuesday, Aug. 22 at 5:30 pm, the Berkshire County Historical Society welcomes historian Tim Abbott who will present his research on Shays' Rebellion in the Berkshires.  

 

He will discuss the final fight of that conflict that took place in Sheffield on Feb. 27, 1787, and its impact not only on local communities but on larger issues that would play out in the Constitutional Convention later that summer in Philadelphia. 

 

Abbott is an independent researcher and 18th century living history practitioner living in North Canaan, Conn.  

 

Tickets are $10 for BCHS members, $15 for non-members and can be purchased by using the BOOK NOW button at berkshirehistory.org.  

 

This event is sponsored by MountainOne, MCC, and Housatonic Heritage.
