350th Book of Town Histories Now Available

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.

Parks & Rec News

Wow! October was quite a month in the Town of Suffield! The highlight of the month for me, Parks and Recreation, and I am certain for most of the town, it was 350th Anniversary celebration during Columbus Day weekend.

Looking for Suffield Crocks? Order On Line

If you didn’t have a chance to purchase a Suffield or West Suffield 350th anniversary crock earlier this year, you can still buy one at our partner’s website: AllSignsCo.com/stoneware.html. We chose their “oak tree” design (fourth row down) and selected the “Anderson” font that curves just a little bit. Top line text is either “Suffield, CT” or “West Suffield, CT” and the bottom line is “Est. 1670”. Crocks ship free to the lower 48 states, and their prices are the same as the 350th committee charged.
