Polish American Heritage Month

October has been recognized as Polish American Heritage month since 1981. It is a time to consider the contributions Polish men and women have made in the United States and throughout the world.

Irish immigrants were the first non-British to come to Suffield. They came in the early 1800s to make money working on the canal system.
