Valley Tales on Derby Greenway featuring local history to step off July 9

Derby Neck Library is teaming up with Derby Historical Society to bring you a new program series this summer: Valley Tales on Derby Greenway.

As the title suggests, this all-ages walking club meets on the Derby Greenway for a leisurely stroll along the Naugatuck River, while listening to true stories from the Valley’s shared history. The club is hosted by the library and features guest speakers from the historical society.

The club does not require any registration… anyone can join! Meet at the Derby Greenway entrance across the street from BJs at 9 a.m. on Thursdays from July 9-Aug. 6 to participate.

Some of the topics you’ll hear about are the history of the Greenway itself, historical significance of the Naugatuck River, Reverend Mansfield and the Church of England in CT, and Revolutionary-era stories.

For further information or schedule details, please visit the website of either Derby Neck Library or Derby Historical Society.

Participants are responsible for their own health and safety. Please review heat and weather conditions prior to participation.

Walks will last approximately 30-60 minutes and cover 2-4 miles.

Kids invited to learn about Colonial times at Derby Public Library program

Presented by the Derby Historical Society, this special event at Derby Public Library will showcase an assortment of fascinating artifacts and everyday treasures from long ago.

Possible examples may include toys, tools, clothing, and household items once used by early Americans, along with a few surprises from the past.

After exploring history up close, children will craft their own whirligig (a colorful spinning toy inspired by those enjoyed centuries ago) and take part in traditional games that once brought laughter and joy to colonial children.

So gather your family and join us for a celebration filled with wonder, creativity, and old-fashioned fun as we mark America's 250th anniversary together!

Recommended for school aged children and older (geared for ages 7+), but all are welcome!

Registration required to reserve supplies, but all are welcome while supplies last!.

Please register each child separately so we know how many friends to expect!
