The Legend of the Leatherman with Mike Allen

Join us via Zoom to learn about this intriguing Connecticut legend with Mike Allen, the proud producer and host of the highly-rated podcast, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut’s Beaten Path!

Of all the legendary figures who have come through Connecticut, few have had the staying power or notoriety that The Leatherman has achieved.  For six years during the late 1800s, this so-called “hobo” hiked the same, 364-mile, circuitous route every 34 days like clockwork.  Residents could predict when he would return to their town.  Dressed from head to toe in a self-made suit of leather, he conversed with no one and slept in caves.  We still don’t know who he was to this day, but people loved him.

Register online to hear Mike’s engaging Zoom presentation about one of Connecticut’s most enduring local legends!
