Descendants of the Founders of Ancient Windsor » DFAW 2023 Spring Program Registration

Join us for our Spring program, “Ancient Windsor Migrations”with John E. Putnam this coming Saturday, March 25 at 1:30pm either in person at the Windsor Historical Society, 96 Palisado Ave, Windsor, CT or Via Zoom. In the late seventeenth century, a number of Windsor “daughter towns” were founded in adjacent lands on the east and west sides of the Connecticut River that started to fill the remaining vacant lands of Connecticut. This process was limited in the early eighteenth century by lack of new lands, which required Windsor ancestral families to seek new places to settle, which led them initially up the Connecticut River to areas of Western Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire in ever-increasing numbers after the French and Indian War as the area became safer to settle. John will share this migration story, the hinterland migration pattern, and other historical events which facilitated this migratory process that started from this fragile early settlement by the River.Register on our website dfaw.org/ ...
