Women's History Month Tea features History faculty

Organizers of this year's Women's History Month Tea are honoring adventurous women of the past and present at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 26, in Miller Oval Room, Fitchburg State College. It is free and open to the public.

Dr. Laura Baker, assistant professor of history, will give a presentation titled "Wild Horse from Connecticut." Three years ago, Baker adopted a 5-year-old wild horse through the Bureau of Land Management's wild horse and burro adoption program. "Merle" was one of the over 60 horses available at the University of Connecticut Storrs campus for adoption. Every year the Bureau of Land Management holds adoptions across the country to find homes for the thousands of mustangs removed from the wild to protect Western rangelands.
