Colrain Remembers William Apess

Pequot minister, author, and activist William Apess is arguably one of Colrain’s most significant historical figures. Yet there is no record of his legacy in the town’s histories or landscape.

Professor and author Drew Lopenzina is leading an effort to correct that invisibility with the creation and placement of a new historical marker in Colrain. Please consider making a donation to the cause!
Proposed historical marker

To learn more – and to contribute – go to www.WhatWouldApessDo.com. You’ll find a sneak preview of the historical marker itself, as well as information on Apess’s life and work.

Drew Lopenzina was the guest speaker at the Colain Historical Society's June 11, 2015 meeting.
