Larry Lock of the Kewanee Historical Society will present a power-point program on the founding of Kewanee in 1854. The roles of the Military Tract Railroad and the Village of Wethersfield will be explored. The program will also feature information about the founders of Kewanee--Colonel Sylvester Blish, Captain Sullivan Howard, Henry Little and Ralph Tenney, all of Wethersfield, and Nelson Lay, who came from Wisconsin looking for a new home and business opportunity. Two men who also played a part in the founding, George Morse and Silas Willard, will also be considered.
