Tavern Day is almost here!
And the Burlington Historical Society is looking for volunteers! If anyone has an interest in helping out during Tavern Day, even if for just an hour or two, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Beth Salsedo at 860-202-4291 or bsalsedo15@comcast.net.
Burlington Tavern Day – Save the date!
Summer at the Schoolhouse!
The one-room Center Schoolhouse will be open Sunday, July 29 and Sunday, August 26 from 2-5pm. Admission is free.
Come discover what school was like long ago! The Center Schoolhouse served Burlington kids for almost 150 years. Now you can try your hand at lessons, play historic games, and hear from costumed interpreters about what has changed–and maybe what hasn’t–over time. This is a great outing for both kids and adults. Hope to see you there!
