Because I care, I looked up the info for you guys on the BHS website:
Sunday February 27, 2011 Pot Luck Supper 5:00 PM GRANGE ROOM TOWN HALL Jim Gorman "The New England Connection: Firearms Design, Manufacture & Use from the Revolution to the Civil War". Jim will connect the firearms industry in New England with the change in design and use from Revolutionary Times to the Civil War era and the resulting evolution in military tactics. In many respects the firearms industry in New England was the grandfather of industrial practice and mass production in the US. Jim is an expert in this area and can talk about what really happened and dispel some of the common misconceptions. **Please call John Fallon at 978-264-0069 to volunteer to bring something to the Supper.**
Sounds like an interesting talk .... its about an hour from downtown Boston.
