'Turnback Tuesday' highlights historic Elm Street in Ansonia

Turnback Tuesday reminds us of an impressive street in Ansonia, Elm Street, which was a part of Derby before Ansonia became a city.

There are many homes going back to the colonial period, the most famous being Gen. David Humphreys' House at #37.

Humphrey was an aide-de-camp for Gen. George Washington during the Revolutionary War.

Capt. Joseph Riggs, David’s uncle, also lived on the street. The first Episcopal Church was built on Elm Street where the cemetery is now. History is all around us.

We just need to stop and take a look. The Library encourages everyone to take stroll down Elm Street and visit the past.

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

Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour opens Giving Patch

Sharing from the Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour Facebook page:

Now that the rain has stopped, we’re excited to share that the Giving Patch is officially OPEN!!!

The Giving Patch is one of our FAVORITE Pantry projects. This is partly because it was our first annual holiday event and MOSTLY because we firmly believe the joy and magic of holiday traditions should not be limited by family income.

All of the pumpkins gifted through the patch are free of charge, no strings attached.

Your steward has been saving her Rooster’s punchcard discount just for this special day. We are thrilled to be able to share these pumpkins with you with our warmest wishes for a fabulous fall season.

Huge thanks to the wonderful staff at Rooster’s for their outstanding customer service and continual support of the pantry.

If you would like to help support the Giving Patch your can donate pumpkins, gift cards to pumpkin vendors like Rooster’s, or donate via Venmo at @skokoratpantry.

Thank you ALL for being a part of our community! We love and appreciate you!
