The Swansea Historical Society Board heard a presentation by Sowams Team Member David Weed about the Heritage Area project at one of their regular monthly meetings. President Carl Becker and board members Maureen O’Brian, Joanne Johnson and Carol Gafford learned how the project started and heard about eight locations in Swansea that have been described on the www.SowamsHeritageArea.org web site, including the Martin House, the Myles Garrison marker, and the Cahoon Brickworks. The group expressed their eagerness to work with the team on the project over the coming years as a way of helping more people to become aware of the rich history of Swansea that began in the 17th century.
