On Thurs, May 30, the Burlington Historical Society attended the Lewis S Mills High School Awards ceremony and had the honor of congratulating the recipient of the BHS Elsie Hutchins Scholarship – Samantha Throwe. Samantha has been a BHS Junior Board Member since 2023 and has assisted us with many events including lectures, open houses, Tavern Day, and the 2nd grade field trips. Her enthusiasm for local history is infectious and we wish her all the best as she begins her studies at UCONN in the fall!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we unfortunately need to cancel this event.

Stay tuned for future BHS events!
