On September 25, please join us for a talk with hi

On September 25, please join us for a talk with historian John Cilio about Connecticut's early water-powered mills. These mills fueled Connecticut's industries, economy, and communities during the state's early years, including in Torrington, where several mills have used the power of the Naugatuck river. The importance of mills cannot be understated, and John Cilio will provide a valuable look into their history. The event will take place at 6:30 pm on September 25th at the Carriage House of the Historical Society at 192 Main Street in Torrington. You can register on our website (https://torringtonhistoricalsociety.org/events) or on Eventbrite. This event is sponsored by Torrington Savings Bank. #history #newengland #ctevents #nwct #industry

The restoration of the Hotchkiss Garden pergola co

The restoration of the Hotchkiss Garden pergola continues! On Monday 8/26, Dmytryck Painting of Torrington painted the first coat of white paint on the 16 support columns for a replica of the historic garden pergola that once stood in the gardens of the Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum. The superstructure pieces will arrive in September to be followed by the construction itself. The architectural drawings for the pergola were prepared by Michael Boe of Torrington. The project is part of an ongoing effort to restore the gardens to the way they looked during Mrs. Hotchkiss’s lifetime and to make the grounds a cultural attraction. The second photo is an historic view of the pergola when it was new, with Gertrude Hotchkiss standing at the far left.

Did you know that Torrington has its own medal-win

Did you know that Torrington has its own medal-winning Olympian? Joan Rosazza sailed to Melbourne with Team USA for the 1956 Olympics, where she swam in the women's 100-meter freestyle and the 4x100-meter relay. While she missed the podium by just 1/10 of a second for the 100-meter individual race, she successfully anchored the relay and helped get the squad a silver medal!
