Years before the first shots of the Revolution were fired, a wave of activism swept through the Mohawk Valley. Local leaders didn't just protest—they organized. Forming the Tryon County Committee of Safety, these pioneers created a "shadow government" that managed everything from military defense to local law, long before the Declaration of Independence. Terry McMaster will share the story of everyday people who worked behind the scenes to spark a movement and forever change our region.
