Save the Date! December Talk on the History of the Uxbridge Treaty House
This will be the first of two talks I will be giving in Uxbridge during our visit this year. This first talk will be tailored for those interested in the forensics I used to settle the most challenging questions I had to resolve before the 3D model could be completed.
