Farmington Bank Sponsored Breakfast Draws Over 200 Attendees: Farmington Bank Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer John Patrick, standing at podium, welcomes hundreds of guests at the Town of Farmington Economic Development Commission’s Breakfast Series held September 13 at the Farmington Club.

Sponsored by Farmington Bank, each breakfast features some of the most dynamic business professionals in the Hartford area. This particular breakfast welcomed, among others, William Elwell, president of the Hartford Connecticut Stake that oversees Mormon congregations in central and northern Connecticut. The Hartford Temple, located at 2 Central Way off of Route 4 in Farmington, will be The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' first temple in Connecticut and second temple in New England. The public is invited to attend tours of the temple when it opens this fall.

In addition, the breakfast recognized the Hill-Stead Museum. For almost 70 years the Hill-Stead Museum has delighted visitors from all over the world. Designed by one of the country's first female architects, Theodate Pope Riddle, the 1901 colonial revival house contains a world class collection of French impressionist paintings and fine art, beautiful antiques and lovely furnishings. The 250 acre country estate's stunning grounds, and scenic trails are open to the public and the museum hosts a year round schedule of interesting events. In 1991 the Hill-Stead was declared a National Historic Landmark. The Farmington Economic Development Commission is proud to recognize this iconic historic cultural asset.
