Then
This is Morse Field, complete with a baseball game underway, at the beginning of the 1900s. The Morse family, local mill owners, built the Morse Mansion on Church Street and also owned the land across the street, where they built an athletic field. After the Flood of 1955, the Quinebaug was moved. Photo courtesy of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit.
& Now
