Have you noticed? The Town is gradually replacing its street name signs to meet modern standards. Many have already been changed, and this batch, created by the Highway Department’s sign-maker, was photographed in November stored neatly next to the Highway Garage on Ffyler Place. They are to be installed when time and conditions permit.

Visitors came out in 12-degree weather to enjoy the Tree Gala in the Phelps-Hatheway House Barn on five days in December. Several trees were sold for donations to Suffield Community Aid, and more than $1,000 was raised for Suffield’s 350th Anniversary celebration. Our thanks to everyone who donated a tree!

Some of the stores along Main Street were already closed in this circa -1966 view of the Town Center, looking south toward Bridge Street a few years before demolition for redevelopment. The large building at the right is the old Town Hall, vacant since 1963.
