Fun to see the local history exhibits at Cummington Fair getting so many visitors! And hats off to Ashfield for coming up with a great way to engage visitors, with their "guess the object" game. My friend and I gave it a try, but I doubt we will win the prize...

Heading to the Cummington Fair this weekend? Check out the historical displays in the main hall! We decided to highlight sugaring and dairy this year, and included the miniature Bird Sugar House built by Ralph Peck in the 1970s.

Once, it was weedy, uneven, squishy in spots and littered with dead leaves. Now it's perfect! Thank you, Town of Windsor...

Time to play Windsor history detective! This little brass door knocker lives on a shelf in the museum. Underneath, a handwritten note explains something of its history. But we want to know more! Read the note, let us know if any of these names and places ring a bell (or knock on the door).

Talk about Christmas in July! There we were, just hanging out at our scheduled open house yesterday afternoon, when Melody Lincoln walked in with her hands full of attic treasures...including beautiful hand-tinted photographic portraits of her Windsor ancestors. What a wonderful gift! We will do our best to take proper care of these bits of our town's history.

Did I mention we could use some muscle during our open hours this Sunday from 1 to 4?
The BIG JOB would be moving this massive ice-cutting sleigh, designed to be drawn by horses to cut ice blocks for storage, to the carriage shed...(It's upside down in this picture.)
That will allow us to rearrange the space it is now occupying for better display of our tools and gizmos...

Yep, it's that time again! The Windsor Museum will be open this coming Sunday, July 12th, from 1 to 4 pm...The weather is looking good, and we'd welcome helping hands for some light yard work and perhaps just a little bit of heavy lifting. But nothing as tough as what Windsor charcoal burners were doing back in the day! (Below is from one of our dioramas of Windsor past.)
