The children in this painting are myself and my siblings. Lauren, in a red dress, has run a bit ahead with our dog, Piper. David is wearing a yellow shirt. Sarah, the youngest, is holding his hand. Mary is behind David and as usual I'm the slowest, behind everyone and just taking it easy.
Carr's store was always a great place to go for a soda or a treat.
This photo should have been taken of the front of the library. This shot is from one of the parking lots and doe not do the building justice. It is not the main enterance.
This building stand on one of the highest points in New Haven County. Made of fieldstone with an interior that is so beautifully kept with its shiny floors and a beautiful fireplace. It is hard to believe this was once a library. Anyone who has ever been inside will agree it is beautiful.
This is one of the most popular Senior Centers in Connecticut. The building and the layout is really great. The director is awesome and the activities can't be beat. This building is a great pride to Prospect residents
Prospect Grange was organized December 10, 1894 and is still active in the community with 45 members I have the history of Prospect Grange #144, Inc. including the first minutes for the first meeting in December 1894.
Jerry: I would very much like your permission to use your photo of the Tolland - Mutual Aid and Fire Service facility on their new website. Do we have your permission to do so?
Mr. Dougherty, My father, Robert E. Johnson, RMC3, was on board the SS Maiden Creek II on 17 Mar 44 when it was attacked by German U-371. He was part of the 29-man armed guard (active duty Navy). He sustained a head injury for which he received the Purple Heart. He passed away 27 May 08 at the age of 83. I have been active duty USAF for over 27 years.
Dear Mr. Dougherty, thank you very much for posting this photograph. I lived in the house on the left-hand side (152 Hamilton St.) when I was a kid (1942 to about 1951) . The other pictures of Southbridge and Putnam (Cargill Falls!) are great, too. Many of them bring back memories. I was baptised in Notre Dame Church, and the former Academie Brochu, also illustrated, was my elementary school. k. a.
aahhhh...i remember this place well. i grew up in the branchville area and when i was there this was ONLY a train depot...no resturant. i had one of my first kisses at this very spot!! thanks for the memories :)
I owned this house when this photo was taken (lived there from 1998-2006). We put a new roof on after this picture was taken, and the current owners have painted it. They are also working on restoring the windows. Still has the original wideboard floors through most of the house, which were refinished by the new owners and look fantastic.
I believe that this is the grave on property I own in the Natchaug State forest. I would like info on Charles Webster if it's available.

It is still a great place. The owner is a great man. The food and service is super. I miss the Jazz upstairs, but there is a second movie theater up there. The new bar area is cool.
