The blizzard hit the entire Northeast of Connecticut, dumping anywhere from 20 to 50 inches of snow on March 11, 1888. Think about how hard it was to shovel and remove snow of that amount by hand as no plows or snow blowers were available.
This image was taken looking west on Main Street, Derby. The business with the arrow was L. A. Burt Grocers, specializing in groceries and meats.
The store occupied 215/217 Main St. Luzern Burt ran his business from 1886 until 1889 when he moved to Meriden.
Thanks as always goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing local history each week.

I've read many, many positive comments on Facebook in the past three days thanking the organizers and all who worked hard to create a wonderful festival and best fireworks show ever.
I want to add my compliments to the Cultural Commission and all who were involved in making Rock the Valley an incredibly successful event.
My late husband Ralph served as Cultural Commission chairman and was one of the key organizers in past Rock the Valley events. Those memories of the months of planning I witnessed make the festival a nostalgic one for me.
I was happy to meet Meadow McFarland of Seymour at the festival. She is a very poised Miss Mini Valley and I wish her the best in her future endeavors!

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
