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.
