Summer 2010
June
In addition to Summerfest, plans are being made for a House Tour. For more information, contact Linda Hanscom, 650-7484.
July
Immigrants who came to Windham at the turn of the last century, built the town with their labor and helped create a community. Beginning in July, the Society will present the first of an on-going series of programs about the immigrant families. Descendants of these families and the Society will prepare displays of maps, assemble artifacts and photographs and be prepared to respond to audience questions. If anyone is interested in being a part of this important project, they are asked to contact Penny Loura at 892-9397 or Kay Soldier, e-mail kso48@aol.com.
August
The annual open house at the historic Old Grocery museum, is always a popular event and we welcome many “new faces” each year. Come visit the attractive displays of furniture, glassware, tools, household items and especially, the old horse-drawn town hearse!
