It was exciting to hear Joshua Bell, director of Vermont State Historic Sites, read the Declaration of Independence tonight. He prefaced his remarks by reminding all of us that those who wrote this document had to do so in secret. Their lives were at stake for their freedom and ours. There were thousands of people gathered throughout the Nation tonight reading the Declaration of Independence-250 years after it was first read aloud in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. Thank you, Joshua, for being at the Old Constitution House tonight.

The Homes and People of Windsor During Windsor’s Industrial Boom- New Walking Tour to Premiere on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
Join us for a walking tour that explores the homes and people of Windsor during the industrial expansion of the early 20th century. The precision tools of Windsor were in high demand in the years leading up to World War I. As factories expanded and the population doubled, Windsor faced a housing crisis. We’ll explore the range of housing solutions employed at the time, from do-it-yourself shanties to company housing, to boarding houses and tenements. At each stop we’ll consider the designs of the homes, profile the people who lived there, and consider how Windsor’s solutions fit into broader regional and national trends. We’ll also look at the impact of part-time residents and the homes of business owners and professionals in the same period.
When: Saturday, May 23rd at 1:00 PM
Place: Windsor Station Restaurant and historic train station
Length: Approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes
What to Bring: Walking shoes and water
Participation is limited to 15 participants and pre-registration is required. The tour is free.
