Col. Arthur D. Budd, who with his wife Helen created the property that now makes up Notchview, was a World War I veteran, and a military strategist. Join us on November 8 in Windsor Town Hall from 3 to 5 pm for coffee, and talk with someone who knew him: local historian Bernard Drew. Drew will also be signing copies of his local history books, which he has donated for us to sell as part of ongoing fundraising effort son behalf of our museum.

Check it out! Our museum got a glow-up this afternoon, with three beautiful (and historically appropriate!)windows installed by Jack Sobon, with help from Glenn Roy. This is just a start -- lots of windows to go -- but it feels great. Commission members Kristina Almquist and Gregg Pattison helped make it happen, glazing and painting the custom sashes with a hand from some of the other members.

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.

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).
