One Town, Five Villages, Many Stories!
Windsor now has many neighborhoods and villages. Historically, however, the town was thought to have developed in five population centers or “villages”: Windsor Center, Hayden Station, Wilson, Poquonock, and Rainbow.
Windsor Historical Society, friends, and neighbors came together for a celebrations of each neighborhood’s history, culture, and people. Each event included exhibits and samples of what makes each neighborhood unique, plus partner exhibits, food, opportunities to share Windsor stories, and adding your photos to the giant “My Windsor” map, and more!
The events are over, but there are still opportunities to share your Windsor story by:
- Contacting our librarian/archivist and assistant director, Michelle Tom, to arrange an oral history interview
- Post stories or images on social media using the hashtag #windsorctstories
