Hall Memorial Library

Join us for a book talk and signing by author and historian Marty Podskoch. His travel book, The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut, encourages travelers to visit all of the towns and villages of our beautiful and unique state.&nbsp;
Podskoch created this book to be a guide and a passport. He found someone from each town to write a short description highlighting their town’s location, history, and interesting places to visit. The book has a space for travelers to journal about their experiences and a place to get the book stamped or signed by a resident or business. Travelers will get to know the locals and perhaps learn about a good place to eat or an interesting local attraction and learn a lot about Connecticut and its residents in the process. People who visit all 169 towns will receive the “Leatherman Award” patch at a luncheon or dinner held at a different town each year. The award is named after the vagabond who lived in caves and traveled a route regularly (approx. 34 days) from the Connecticut River to the Hudson River during the late 1800s.
Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Ellington Historical Society

The British Are Coming! Living History Event
Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with an unforgettable day of living history!
It’s 1776. Battles are raging across Massachusetts, and Ellington’s militia stands ready to answer the Lexington Alarm. As our townsmen prepare to march, a company of British soldiers arrives in Ellington searching for deserters who may, or may not, be hiding among the good townspeople.
But the British have another mission: to find the legendary farmland of one of Boston’s most famous patriots, John Hancock. Yes, THAT John Hancock! Tempers flare. Loyalties are tested. Secrets are uncovered. And Ellington’s future may depend on what happens next. WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL?T
This year, children become part of the story! Choose your side: Rebel or Loyalist? Sneak into the camps. Follow the clues. Uncover hidden plans. Help save Ellington… or prove your loyalty to the Crown!
