Evergreen Lodge No 114, South Windsor, held its first meeting in 1872. Since that time, it met in schools, private homes, theological seminaries and finally their own building. The Lodge building depicted in this square was built in 1916. It is located near the spot where the first church o the east side of the River was erected. To the immediate south of the Lodge is the old cemetary, “God’s Acre.” For over one hundred years, the Evergreen Lodge is proud to have had many prominent citizens of South Windsor as members.
Please note that despite possible inaccuracies, we will include the description of each quilt square as published in the 1995 revised and corrected second edition booklet. This second edition was published in celebration of South Windsor’s “sesquicentennial” anniversary, 1845-1995, and was dedicated to the memory of Gail Woodard, who passed away in 1994. The revised edition was compiled by Charles E. Woodward in September, 1995, with the assistance of Doris Burgdorf who provided many historical corrections.
