The Suffield Historical Society (SHS) will meet Tuesday, April 18 at 7 p.m. The SHS meetings now take place at the Second Baptist Church in the Common Room, and residents should park in the rear of the sanctuary. Then they can enter the center door from the parking lot, turn left into Fellowship Hall, cross to the opposite corner, up the stairs one flight, then straight ahead. The SHS meetings are open to the public, and new members are most welcome. The main focus of the meeting will feature a presentation by my American Studies students from Suffield Academy who will share history about the two individuals that Oliver Phelps enslaved when he lived in Suffield’s Phelps-Hatheway House. Have you ever been on the special attic tour at our Connecticut Landmarks’ most unique property and wondered about the intriguing old bed in the corner?
