Easton Historical Society Celebrates 50 Years with an Open House

EASTON, CT -- The Historical Society of Easton is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with an Open House on Sunday, July 22 from 3-6 p.m.

The Society’s office will be open to the public, who will be able to view the Historical Society’s collection of rare photos, period fashions, historical artifacts and other items of interest including the bicentennial quilt which adorns one of the office walls.

Musical entertainment will be provided by Easton local Dan Tressler with his trio “Amber Anchor,” an acoustic band featuring fiddle, banjo, mandolin and other instruments blending old and new.

Refreshments and a variety of appetizers will be served. In the event of rain, the party will be moved into the Library’s Community Room.

Founded in 1968 with the acquisition of the Adams Schoolhouse, the Historical Society has grown to be an integral part of the town of Easton, providing topical lectures, Revolutionary and Civil War reenactments, Historical House and Barn tours plus other events.
