NORWICH — History is our story in The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor. To help preserve and pass on compelling stories, The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) and the Leffingwell House Museum are set to host the second quarterly program of the year to share resources and expertise, encouraging inter-regional historical fun. Camilla & Greg Farlow will host us at the Leffingwell House Museum from 2 to 4 p.m. April 2 at the Museum located at 348 Washington St.
The Leffingwell House Museum (Circa 1675) is one of the finest restored examples of New England Colonial architecture. By the mid-18th century, what was built as a simple two-room house in 1675 had evolved into an elegant home. The house is filled with a fascinating assortment of pieces representative of its architectural evolution. Every item in the entire collection was donated!
A long-time partner with TLGV, Leffingwell offers diverse events throughout their season, April through October, including some Walktober events.
Each quarter, TLGV, volunteers and staff from different historical societies, libraries, and other like-minded history-loving individuals and organizations present their specialties so that all participants can learn from each other instead of duplicating efforts and energies. Historical efficiency!
