350th Book of Town Histories Now Available

By |

One of the many projects for the town’s 350th anniversary celebration was the completion of Suffield Stories From Another Half-Century 1970-2020. This hardcover book, a companion to The Biography of A Town 1670-1970 by Robert Alcorn written for Suffield’s 300th anniversary, is now available for purchase. This 370+ page book is a compilation of town history including narratives written by over 100 of the town’s residents. The book includes six chapters: Town History over the past 50 years, Suffield Farms, Community Services and Resources, Churches, Education, and Suffield Memories. The book also contains many pictures provided by Suffield residents that will, hopefully, bring back memories for many of us of the past 50 years.

There are signs sprouting up around town. They say things like “Need Comfort’” and “Seek Joy,” and “Peaceful Place,” but perhaps the most important sign says, “Ask Questions.”

Bridge Work Nears the End

By |

The Observer advised its readers that the Enfield-Suffield Veterans bridge maintenance and repair project, which has been underway, slowly, for quite a while, and did indeed experience a work stoppage in mid-summer (out of respect for a new falcon brood in the structure) was still on schedule to be completed by the end of November. That still appears to be the situation. Milling and paving the road surface, including the Enfield entrance and exit ramps, has occupied much of the time recently, with frequent shifting of dozens of traffic cones and barrels to maintain traffic flow during the work. This reporter was told by one of the repair crew and by the Enfield policeman on duty, that that day was the last of the work. But during subsequent weeks, the cones were still out there, and it was clear that small tasks were still in progress.
