Annual John Brown Commemorative Hike sponsored by

Annual John Brown Commemorative Hike sponsored by the Torrington Historical Society this Sunday December 4th at 4pm at the John Brown Birthplace. Join us as we commemorate the life of John Brown and his commitment to equality and civil rights. We will walk the 2/3 mile loop trail and take a short side trip to walk the new boardwalk that will connect to the Five Points Arts Center next year. Dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes or boots as the trial can be wet in places. The ceremony begins at 4pm with a few comments about John Brown and the walk will end around 5pm. Bring a flashlight or lantern because this walk takes place at dusk. Free and open to the public. Park along John Brown Road

As a historical society, part of our mission is to

As a historical society, part of our mission is to collect photographs, not just to showcase Torrington of the past but also to inspire the preservation of historic buildings. Many buildings are unfortunately lost, such as the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co freight office formerly located on Pearl Street, visible in this 1969 photo recently donated to the historical society by Stacey duBell Mileti. The freight house was erected sometime after 1909 and was demolished around 1970. The second photo in this post shows the site today, now owned by Alliance Carpet Cushion Co.
