SUMMARY:Wandering Windsor: Riverside Cemetery Tour

DESCRIPTION:Windsor Historical Society Hosts Talk on Civilian Conservation Corps and Windsor’s New Deal Legacy \nAuthor Martin Podskoch to discuss Windsor’s unique CCC camp and its role in New Deal conservation history on September 25 \nOn Thursday\, September 25 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.\, the Windsor Historical Society will present “Celebrating the Civilian Conservation Corps: The 90th Anniversary of Camp Britton in Windsor\,” a lecture by author and Connecticut Conservation Corps Museum Director Martin Podskoch. \nThe Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began on March 31\, 1933 under President Roosevelt’s New Deal to relieve the poverty and unemployment of the Depression.

Attendees will learn how Windsor’s CCC camp helped advance both environmental stewardship and scientific innovation during a pivotal era in American history. \nPre-registration encouraged. \n$10 adult\, $8 member/senior\, $6 child. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Wandering Windsor: Built by Bricks Walking Tour - SOLD OUT

The tour is a 1.5 mile loop beginning and ending at the town green in front of the post office. \nPre-registration required. $10 adult\, $8 member/senior\, $6 child.

SUMMARY:Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Do you believe that history should be accessible to everyone? Can you read cursive? Then join us February 14th from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Windsor Senior Center to take part in the nationwide Douglass Day celebration! \nDouglass Day is celebrated each year on Frederick Douglass’s chosen birthday: February 14th. To honor his life’s work\, participants gather to transcribe documents from a Black history collection to help make them more widely accessible to researchers. \nMillions of original documents containing interesting and vital parts of history lay un-transcribed in archives around America\, and documents pertaining to Black history make up more than their share of unprocessed work. While un-transcribed\, these documents are less likely to appear in searches and are inaccessible to generations who cannot read cursive. Douglass Day is a call to collective action\, to help these documents reach the eyes of students\, researchers\, and amateur historians alike. \nThis year\, we will be transcribing the Library of Congress’ African American Perspectives Collection. In this collection are historic sermons and calls for political activism\, annual reports of charitable\, educational\, and political organizations\, college catalogs and graduation orations from HBCs\, biographies\, slave narratives\, speeches by members of Congress\, legal documents\, poetry\, playbills\, dramas\, and materials focusing segregation\, voting rights\, and anti-slavery organizations. And YOU CAN HELP bring these documents to life with your participation! \nThe Windsor Historical Society and Windsor Senior Center will co-host a transcribe-a-thon for all ages at the Senior Center. Along with transcribing\, participants will be able to take part virtually in national Douglas Day speeches\, readings\, and music. Participants must bring their own laptop or tablet\, but snacks and technical support will be provided. \nThis event is drop in\, drop out. Feel free to stay for as long or a short a time as you please. \nRegistration encouraged. \nFor more information\, check out https://douglassday.org/ \nRegister here
