The Secret Six
At 12 PM on Sunday, June 11 Matthew Urtz, Madison County Historian, will present a slide show at the Timbuctoo exhibit on the The Secret Six (supporters of John Brown) one of whom was Garrit Smith. The talk will explore the individual lives of the six members, how their relationships developed, and their support of John Brown in Kansas and Harper's Ferry and its aftermath. The illustrated talk will also show some of the events that took place in Madison County to help explain the area's role in the nation events.
