The Adventists built their chapel in the part of Town now called Pleasant Valley. Their church still stands on the corner of Long Hill Road and the road that bears its name, “Chapel Road.” After the parishioners moved to East Hartford, the chapel was purchased for a private home. The building was moved from the edge of the road and turned 90. As a beautiful, modern home, it bears little resemblance to the original chapel.
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 assitance of Doris Burgdorf who provided many historical corrections.
