The Leatherman: A Western CT Legend Wednesday, September 27th at 7:00 p.m. This is an in-person program at the Sherman Library
Of all the legendary figures who have come through western Connecticut, few have had the staying power of notoriety that The Leatherman has achieved. For six years during the late 1800s, this so-called "hobo" hiked the same, 360-mile, circuitous route every 34 days like clockwork. Residents could predict when he would return to their town. Wearing a self-made suit of leather, from head to toe, he conversed with no one and slept in caves. And, we still don't know who he was. But, people loved him. Hear his story at this presentation.
