Colonial Sudbury, The Rice Family and their role in the American Revolution
Wayland Free Public Library
(5 Concord Road)
In 1780, the colonial town of Sudbury broke up into two towns, Sudbury and East Sudbury (later renamed Wayland). That split is usually attributed to the travel barrier posed by the Sudbury River, but in truth that was not the only, or even most important, reason. It was no coincidence that the split happened in the middle of the Revolutionary War, after 142 years of unity. Join local historian and author Jane Sciacca as she examines the lead-up to the historic division by focusing on the life of this one family.
