Each Whitney Literary Society event will cover a new book. For details click here: newhavenmuseum.org/52580-2/

The bimonthly book discussion will delve into the colorful history of New Haven, which was once the center of governance, education, trade, and culture in Connecticut. The first discussion will include several chapters from “The Case of the Piglet’s Paternity: Trials from the New Haven Colony, 1619-1963” by Jon C. Blue on, which explores judicial trials in the early New Haven Colony.
