Join the Historical Society of Montgomery County for our next presentation in our Making History Greater Series when Noah Lewis presents Meeting Ned.

Edward “Ned” Hector was one of three to five thousand “people of color” who served as patriotic soldiers during the American Revolution. Ned Hector was a black artilleryman from Montgomery County who fought during the Revolutionary War. Noah Lewis, historian and re-enactor, will tell Ned’s story of what it was like to be a black soldier in Washington’s Army. Meeting Ned will be held at the Society’s Headquarters at 1654 DeKalb Street, Norristown, PA and is free to the public.
