If you think archiving is some sort of dull "filing" task, you've never taken part in the Waterford Historical Society archiving sessions! The next one is Saturday January 30 from 9 to noon, in the hallway of the town office, at 532 Maple Street in Lower Waterford (downstairs from the library). Pull up a chair and explore newspaper clippings that reveal community structure; sort photos, often mysterious; discover how the scraps of written material and images come together to show how families have grown and interacted over the centuries in our Connecticut River town.
Here is a document from the archives, by Ella Douse
, who wrote this as part of the town's bicentennial activities. It's a good read!
