Barkhamsted Historical Society Plans “Walk Through Time”

On Saturday, June 15^th, the Barkhamsted Historical Society will conduct a hike at Peoples’ Forest, East River Road in Barkhamsted. The “Walk Through Time" hike will begin at 10:00 am at the Pavilion in the main part of People’s Forest. The hike will be a circular hike of approximately 1 mile with about a dozen stops along the way at locations to “see” what it would have looked like in the past. The Stone Museum and Squire’s Tavern will be a few of the stops. Come experience this area as it was long, long ago.

Questions: call Paul Hart at (860) 379-1861.

Squire's Tavern will be participating in Connecticut Open House Day on June 8th

Squire’s Tavern in Peoples Forest on East River Road, Pleasant Valley, the home of the Barkhamsted Historical Society, will be participating in the Connecticut Open House Day on June 8^th.

This event sponsored by the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism is held each year at historic sites, art galleries, museums and many other landmarks throughout Connecticut. The Commission states that “Connecticut Open House Day serves as a fun way for Nutmeggers to discover – or rediscover- all that is accessible within our state. It is a way for Connecticut residents to visit the treasures in their own backyard.”

As a participant, Squire’s Tavern will welcome visitors from 1:00 to 4:00. The admission is free and refreshments will be served. There will be a slide presentation showing old photos of Pleasant Valley. The Barkhamsted Historical Society has been very busy restoring this historic site. The Tavern has much to offer including exhibits of local history.
