The Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Society is hosting its 3rd  
annual Leedstown Resolutions on Friday, February 27th at 11:00 a.m.  
at the King Conservation Center in Menokin (near Warsaw in Richmond  
County.)

This year's program will focus on the history of the community of  
Leedstown, the contents of the Resolutions (1776), and the story of  
the signers with special focus on signers Francis Lightfoot Lee and  
Moore Fauntleroy.

The program is offered to the public at no charge.

What, you may ask, are the Leedstown Resolutions?

This was one of the first resolutions by American colonists in  
opposition to the Stamp Act and open rebellion against Great Britain  
leading up to the Revolution.  The resolutions were signed by number  
of Northern Neck patriots.

Historical Society in Montross (Westmoreland County) at:
