Barkhamsted Lighthouse Family Reunion July 2nd-6th 2015


I have been wanting to do a family reunion for the descendants of the Barkhamsted Lighthouse Tribe – I have set a date with Paul Hart the President of the Barkhamsted Historical Society and Squires Tavern – we have decided on July 2nd-6th 2015~

I will be planning a few events – one is having Ken Feder show us his archeology work at the Lighthouse site along with “hopefully” getting a presentation out of him (still have to contact him on this)

I also will try and have Drew Shuptar Rayvis come and do a survival tour (will contact him to see if dates are ok – he has already agreed to do it for us) – he would show us all the plants and stuff our Native Americans would of used to survive on the land.

Paul Hart is willing to give us a tour of Chagum Lookout and other areas of Ragged Mountain (where our Ancestors lived)

They also do a parade in Barkhamsted on July 4th – Paul said we are all welcomed to join in!

They have fireworks in the next town over – few miles (abt 7) that we could do – not sure on ordinance of campground if allowed~

The also have a drive in theater – a great family night thing we could do – just down the road~

Hope MANY of the descendants will try and do this – would be awesome to meet many of you~

Hey you – need to get a contact for you – I can send you my Barkhamsted Cemetery Blessing video via email or if you have Dropbox – I own the whole of that video and you would be able to download it to whatever/wherever without and worries of issues – Taken on my camera, and edited and created by me – the other videos has others in it and are part of this research – could be issues – my email is chagumdescendants@gmail.com – all are welcome to join us on this reunion – ain’t just for family – many have become family while doing this research – just as interested as family (if not more lol) Hugs
