This presentation will focus on General Glover\u2019s post-Revolutionary years, when he restarted his business operations and purchased a farm in 1781, the year he remarried after his wife died in 1778 in the middle of the war, and a year before he retired from his eight long years of service. Updates about the state of the c.1730-50s farmhouse and its preservation will be included. Nancy Schultz is Chair of Swampscott\u2019s Historical Commission. For the past 3 years, she has pressed tirelessly for the preservation of General Glover\u2019s Farm House, after a long career as an Englishman.<\/p>\n
