Mark your calendar for Thursday July 14 at 6:00 for “Historic Look Back Around McGillicuddy Park,” a talk by Richard Corey.
Through pictures, see what the general area surrounding the Food City lot looked like in days gone by. Meet at the McGillicuddy Park located across from the Post Office at 6:00 PM, chairs will be provided. A picture pamphlet for each attendee will be provided as we will look at the changes that have occurred in this part of Wilton over the last 175 years. See where the 2nd Bass Shoe Shop was located in 1887, the Goodspeed Woolen Mill and did you know that Wilton had a bowling alley and a movie theater in this part of town? Join us after for cookies and lemonade. Rain date will be July 21.
