CT Open House Day featuring our “New” Research Library

Explore our “new” research library and learn how you can use the primary source materials in our collections to conduct research on local history pertaining to South Windsor and the greater southern Connecticut River Valley area, Native American tribes and cultures of the region, and the birds of the South Windsor Meadows and Station 43.  Light refreshments will be offered and Friend’s Archivist, Leith Johnson will be on hand to answer questions. At 1:00 pm Leith will use the Grant Family Papers from the archives and the example of Dr. Primus Manumit as a case study of some of the puzzles and challenges researchers of local history face.  Nowashe Village will also be participating in CT Open House Day! Visit the Nowashe website to learn about the family friendly activities that will be offered.
