History of Bishop Brown and Brownella Cottage

How much do you know about Bad Bishop William Montgomery Brown, of Brownella Cottage, arguably one of Galion's all-time most interesting residents?
Did you know that he authored several books, including one for children? That he employed local students to read to him in his later years? That he died on Halloween? That he was the first Anglican bishop to be tried as a heretic since the Protestant reformation and the first of any denomination in America to be dismissed for his heretical teachings? Kristen Hoffert will discuss these details and more about his fascinating life and home. This program is free, but registration is required. Call the library or stop by the main desk to sign up.
