Join us for a night of casual conversation and reminiscing about your favorite Torrington places – to shop, to hangout, to play, to eat. Maybe you have fond memories about going to the bookstore at Mertz, picking through all the goods at Woolworths or the Army Navy Store, buying school supplies at Bradlees or school clothes at Jus Teens or Reibmans. You might have a story about attending the carnival up by Caldor, buying your first bike at Tommy’s, attending a special event at the Yankee Peddlar or Venetian, or taking an outing to get your favorite food at Scarpellis, Tonys or Torrington Creamery. Maybe you worked at Torrington Company, Hotchkiss Brothers, WTOR or the UCONN Branch or one of the other organizations in town and spent your free time skating, fishing, or swimming on Burr Pond or hanging out with your friends at Skyvue or the Parkade Cinema. The possibilities are endless.
We’ll get you started with some of our favorite images and collection items and will leave the rest of the conversation to the group. If you have a great photo of your favorite place that you’d like to share with the group, please send to sue@torringtonhistoricalsociety.org so that we can include it in the presentation. We want this to be a fun, interactive night of conversation and good memories. Come to share or come to listen – all are welcome!
