The Enduring Legacy of the Leatherman Monday, January 27th from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. 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. Wearing a self-made suit of leather, from head to toe, he conversed with no one and slept in caves. And we still don't know who he was. But people loved him. Hear about The Leatherman from noted Connecticut podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen. Register here.
