Every citizen who lives / has lived in Vernon-Rockville, CT must visit here, regardless if you enjoy history or not. It has full of information about the history of Vernon & Rockville. Needless to say, they can find you just about everything you want by request. They have nice staff who are like historians. They also have lots of books about the town and surrounding areas, as well as city directories, annual reports & high school yearbooks. They also some artifacts displayed about local history as well. This is part of our hometown, right HERE!
I visited the historical society because I recently moved to Rockville and our home was built in 1880. I was able to go through some of their books to trace who the original owner was. Unfortunately for my home the hand writing was illegible but I was able to trace it pretty far back. One of the historical society members, Jon, gave me his email address and sent me some photos of the pond I live on from way back in the day. It was a lot of fun and I encourage everyone to check out the cool things the historical society is doing.
I Had visited the Vernon Historical Society for the first time mostly for the Annual Book Sale. And when the book sale has ended, they not only use the money to support the museum, they give those books to other areas like the School Districts, Firestations, Jail Cells, and many other places around Vernon, CT as well. And this museum has been around for over 100 years. So this a pretty decent place to go to.
Great place with local history materials about Vernon-Rockville. Also, The Annual Book Sale is always the best one ever especially with my family. I really loved this place so much.
Wonderful place. Good people.
