Civic Life in Action: A Jane’s Walk of Windsor
Join Windor Historical Society Program Manager Heather Lodge and Windsor Director of Economic Development Patrick McMahon on May 2 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for a Jane’s Walk of the Windsor Broad Street Green.
On the first weekend of May every year, Jane’s Walks take place in hundreds of towns and cities around the world to encourage people to share stories about their neighborhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and connect with their neighbors.
In tandem with the Windsor CT 250 commemorations, this Jane’s Walk will focus on the civic actions that happened on the town green over the last 250 years. Together we will learn about the protests, parties, and civic activities that took place in the town center that helped shape who we are as a community.
“The town green is often the civic heart of a New England community,” says Windsor Historical Society program manager, Heather Lodge. “It is a space that belongs to no one and everyone. As such, town greens have served for centuries as the seat of protest and celebration, including here in Windsor. We will share some stories and hope to hear some of yours.”
The tour will start on the steps of Town Hall. Participation is free, but pre-registration is encouraged at https://windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events/.
