Following yesterday’s blog, Cheryl sent me this note shedding further ‘light’ on things!
Collins and I are intrigued by this GB declaration, in light of a few other significant historical events born out of this little town:
*the first resistance to British tyranny took place in GB…seeding the way to the American revolution. (could we be seeing the first organized resistance to the current medical/governmental tyranny?)
*the 1st challenge to slavery in Massachusetts took place in GB (and by a woman!) The result was the abolishment of slavery in the state…paving the way for the nation.
*the successful transformation of alternating current first happened in Great Barrington. The first street lights and house to house transmission of electricity happened here. GB literally gave light to the rest of the world!
