“The Pesky Sarpent/On Springfield Mountain” is one of America’s earliest folk songs. The song dramatizes a famous tragedy in the history of Wilbraham about an incident that happened Aug. 7, 1761, an incident which town history books say, “brought sorrow to the town.”
The song has been sung by iconic folk artists like Burl Ives, Harry Belefonte, Tara Maclean, Tennessee Ernie Ford and Woody Guthrie, who said he learned the song because his mother sang it to him as a child.
The event is free and open to the public.
