What's New at the Hartford Historical Society?

At the Garipay House:

Due to the price of fuel the Garipay House will be closed for the winter starting November 1.  The Society will still be functioning and the room in the Municipal Building will still be available for researching.  The Garipay House will be checked weekly, and if anything there is needed it can be brought out with adequate notice.

It is hoped this will be a wise use of our resources and will not inconvenience folks too much.  Any questions, concerns, etc. should be directed to Pat Stark at 295-3077 M-F 9-4
