- **Event Name**: A History of King Philip's War
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 06:15 pm – Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: THE FORGOTTEN WAR: King Philip’s War (1675-1676)

To many today, the names "Metacom," "Narragansett," and "The Great Swamp" are merely markers on highway signs or names on a map. But in 1675, they represented a struggle for the soul of our continent. 


Per capita, King Philip’s War remains the bloodiest conflict in American history—a conflict so brutal it nearly pushed the English back into the sea and forever shattered the sovereignty of the region’s Indigenous nations. 


On Thursday, March 5th at the Coventry Public Library, join Marilyn Harris for a presentation to look beyond the dates and maps to try to understand the friction that turned a localized conflict into a total war which reshaped the social and political landscape of New England.


Marilyn Harris is a researcher and docent at Smith's Castle, North Kingstown. 


Free and open to the public.  No registration required. With questions, call Jessica at 822-9104. If you'd like a friendly reminder two days before the presentation, please register by calling Jessica at 822-9104, or emailing JCoppa@coventrylibrary.org.
