DiBacco: Ansonia High School classes to go online Thursday and Friday
Possible COVID-19 case investigated
Recuperation journey: Autumn colors found
This beautiful burst of fall foliage gracing the entrance to the Ansonia Riverwalk caught my eye Wednesday when I was stopped at a red light. The vibrant hues brightened an otherwise dreary morning on this Veterans Day.

ANSONIA - The Derby Historical Society recently placed an appeal to the public for restoration of its landmark sign at 37 Elm St.
Executive Director Daniel Bosques said Wednesday he had wonderful news - with the help of the City of Ansonia's resources.
"JRD Restoration in Derby today notified the DHS that they will donate the restoration of the David Humphreys House sign!" Bosques said. You can check them out here: http://www.jrdrestorations.com/."
Bosques said the Society needs someone with the ability to remove the sign and pitch in and help.
The David Humphreys House is a National Historic Landmark and one of Connecticut's oldest buildings.
If you or someone you know is interested in helping, call 203-735-1908 or email info@derbyhistorical.
This is a press release from Dan Bosques, executive director, Derby Historical Society.
