Windsor:
Bridging Centuries, Bridging Cultures
A Permanent Windsor
History Exhibition
North and South Galleries
Windsor:
Bridging Centuries, Bridging Cultures
will tell
Windsor’s story over the past 400 years, display
treasures from the Windsor Historical Society’s
collections, and link the displays to additional
learning experiences at the society and other
institutions. Each of the Society’s galleries will
tell a different part of Windsor’s story. The
colonial gallery will recount Windsor’s founding and
explore its development from a Native American home
site to an English-modeled town. The post-1800
gallery will follow Windsor’s history as it grew
from a farming community to bustling suburb. Explore
the events and meet the people that have shaped
Windsor’s history.
Building Bridges
January 5, 2012 - March 3, 2012
 How do you connect with the
past? How will Windsor’s history influence the
town’s future? Come celebrate the art of Windsor
High School students who were inspired by Windsor’s
evolving bridges and historic architecture for their
exhibition, Building Bridges. On display will be the
students’ paintings, sketches, ceramics, and even
jewelry inspired by their time in and around the
Historic District. Also on view will be the artists’
inspirational photographs and images of the students
at Windsor artist Lon Pelton’s site, sketching at
the Windsor Art Center, and with Windsor
photographer Len Hellerman.
