Who Was Pomp Russell: Forgotten No More

  • 748 Isaac Frye Highway Wilton, NH, 03086 United States (map)

He fought for a nation’s freedom while enslaved himself. Pomp Russell was a Wilton man, a Revolutionary War soldier, and for too long, a missing name on our town’s War Memorial. Historian Judy Granger tells his remarkable story — just three days before his name is finally added to the memorial where it belongs on May 9. Don’t miss this moving piece of history, hiding in plain sight all along. Free & open to all. Part of the Wilton 250 celebration May 2–10. Wilton Public & Gregg Free Library, 7 Forest Rd, Wilton NH
