Join us for our next meeting on November 9 at 7PM at the society house on the Colchester green.

A Personal History of the Holidays (1830 and 1890): The Colchester Historical Society will present a personal history of Thanksgiving and Christmas in the 1800’s. How did families in New England celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas in those days? Find out for yourself when Curt Taylor reads portions of his ancestors’ memoirs describing the events of the day as celebrated in two small New England towns. Join us at the society house on Main Street for a look into the past before the 2015 celebrations begin. The specific history of the several antique holiday cards owned by the Society will also be discussed.

Free and open to the public.
