Barkhamsted Historical Society - Barkhamsted,
Connecticut
One of our goals is to record current events, cultural
happenings and what now may seem to be some of the more mundane tidbits of
everyday life in this town of Barkhamsted, Connecticut. We feel that as
time passes, the information preserved here will provide a fascinating glimpse
of "the way things used to be".
Each month we will add one or more events to the Town
Diary. If you have an idea or topic to cover, or better yet, if you would
like to help us write or research Diary entries, please contact
us.
