Why a small New England town celebrates its heritage by honoring frogs appeared on www.pbs.org by PBS NewsHour.
David Wright:
The great Windham frog fight became an American Batrachomyomachia, the stuff of epic comic poems, at least three of them. Before the U.S. had a national currency, banknotes issued by the Windham Bank featured a frog standing on top of another frog. In 1905, the local opera house even mounted an operetta, a musical, “The Frogs of Windham,” which has enjoyed several local revivals.
And, to this day, the local brewery has an annual Hop Fest.
So, you have embraced the frog, which was originally sort of a joke at Windham’s expense.
