A New Exhibit
The rich history of Cornwall and the entire Northwest corner of Connecticut never ceases to amaze me. Starting March 21st, the Cornwall Historical Society is hosting an exhibition assembled by St. Bridget’s church entitled, Iron Faith: Celebrating the History of St. Bridget’s Church. This exhibition will examine the stories of the immigrant laborers, missionary priests, industrial philanthropists and dedicated pastors and parishioners who made up this church on the banks of the Housatonic river. The exhibition is a wonderful story, and full of beautiful art objects belonging to the church. The exhibition is a treat for anyone interested in the history of this area of the Connecticut.
Come drop by to see this wonderful exhibition and our new building at the same time. The exhibition is open on Saturdays from 11 to 3, and we are open for research by appointment only. The St. Bridget’s exhibition is generously funded by the Connecticut Humanities Council.
