Recuperation journey: Looking at the sky


 ... at 7:20 p.m. Tuesday. 

Have a peaceful evening.  

'Turnback Tuesday' features train depot, Derby Avenue in E. Derby

Turnback Tuesday looks at another view of East Derby. 

This is an image of what is now CT 34 / Derby Avenue looking North taken sometime between 1903 and 1905. 

On the left is the train depot, and the building on the right is 63-67 Derby Ave. The red arrow shows the business of J Sarra & Sons (a.k.a. Joseph, Pasquale & John) grocer and saloon. This was their second location in Derby. 

In 1906, the family moved to New Britain. You'll notice St. Michael’s Church is not there yet as construction of the church started in 1906.


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

Local educator to portray Clara Barton in online Seymour Historical Society event


SEYMOUR - Local educator and historian Carolyn Ivanoff will explore the incredible life of Clara Barton in an online presentation at 2 p.m. April 11 at the Seymour Historical Society.
Barton was born exactly 200 years ago in 1821! 

Very few women worked outside the home during that era, yet Barton would find success as a teacher, a U.S. Patent Office worker, and most famously, a nurse who tended to wounded troops during the Civil War. 

Afterward she went on to launch the American Red Cross - which means if you have ever donated blood, given money to disaster relief, or taken a first-aid course, Clara Barton has touched your life. 

This is this first in several virtual events on Facebook Live that the Seymour Historical Society has planned prior to transitioning to live programs once it’s safe to do so.
