The display highlights early Polish and Czech/Slovak families, land records, and Adelaide Pender's firsthand account of West Street's "old families," along with the restoration story of the town's original one-room schoolhouse.
• Southington FD receives $3.03M in FEMA funds (bristolpress.com) — Southington's fire protection could soon get a major boost, as the town has been awarded a $3.03 million FEMA SAFER grant to hire 12 firefighters and fully staff all three firehouses around the clock. Town leaders will review and vote on accepting the grant, which would be mostly federally funded in the first year and aims to improve coverage in every part of Southington.
