Windsor’s people make it the great town that it is! For nearly two centuries people have been taking photographs of each other to mark special occasions or to capture a moment or a face or a formal family portrait. Join Windsor Historical Society on Wednesday, July 10, to be the first to view People of Windsor, a new exhibit that features the rich history, character, and diversity of our great town. People of Windsor is part of the Windsor History Inclusion Project, funded in part by a generous grant from the Town of Windsor’s Community and Neighborhood Enhancement program.

People of Windsor features photos from the last 100 years of the town’s life, from early school classes and personalities to more contemporary events like the election of its first Black mayor. The exhibit also showcases images from the Society’s giant Windsor map. Almost 900 residents lent their images to this pictorial representation of the down’s diversity and geography, and each is included in this exhibition! The giant map itself will be on display at Windsor Public Library during the month of July to help mark the opening of this exhibit, and those interested in adding their likeness to the map can do so at the library during July.

Join friends and fellow residents for this special opening on July 10 from 6 to 8 PM at Windsor Historical Society. The event is free, and refreshments will be provided. For more information check out windsorhistoricalsociety.org, or call 860-688-3813.
