As we share space with the Southington Historical Society, we enjoy browsing the collection, too! Thank you, The Southington Outsider, for sharing this important event and the important role SHS holds in our community.

When it formed in 1965, the Southington Historical Society's mission was not just to preserve stories about the town’s past, but to find a place where a growing collection of unique historical objects from its early days could be displayed
