Hello Jerry,
While in a NY flea market, i bought some antique keys. One of those keys was stamped as follow 'Patened Eagle Lock Co.
jul 26 1888
Terryville CT USA'
There is an image of a person walking. Direction? maybe west? There are more letters E H Z P A different styles. Maybe these were lettering for different rooms at different times.
It was cool to come across something like this. It lead me to your site and beatuiful pictures. I live in south Florida. Proof that this is truly a small world.

Jerry, Thanks for the pictures of Putnam. I only get there once a year and truly enjoyed seeing your pictures of Putnam.

As lifelong Connecticut residents, my wife and I love your work. Keep it up.

Thank you so much for the devotion to Connecticut, especially Torrington. I am proud to have living here all my life and your pictures enhance the City to a point where I would love to see it be.

Thank you for the Pics of Andover and Manchester.
Dad is # 1 on the K War Monument in Andover.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. I downloaded two pictures of a landmark in Middletown for use in a slide show I made as a birthday gift for my nephew. What a treasure you have provided. Thanks!

Hi,
had a quick browse through a few of your albums, really well organised and very interesting.

Jerry,
I grew up in Bridgeport in the 50's and your terrific website brought back so many memories. Thank you. Wayne Bayliff

I was quite surprised to see photos of the stones of my great and great-great grandfathers (#34 and 35) from the East Village Cemetery. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Living in Nebraska now makes it a special treat to see them.

just say hello, a girl from shanghai,china

Great photos, lots of memories viewing them. Born in Bridgeport, raised a family in Milford, now live in NY but still have family in CT. I will forward link to them. Thanks.

Good job!! Have your website bookmarked and have referred to it frequently. I've been doing something similar, but you're much further along. There are several towns in CT I've never been to and some I've never heard of, which seems amazing since CT is such a small state.

Previous message was the WWI memorial located in Milford with my grandfather's name. I went to the original Sherman school that was located on the Fairfield Green , I was born on Alden st. in Fairfield. My mother spent her youth in Greenfield Hill , growing up ,when it was farmland. I spent a lot of my childhood visiting my aunt , uncle & cousin in the Jonathon Sturges cottage in Fairfield. I was born in Fairfield, raised in Bridgeport and live in Stratford.

My grandfather's name is on the WW I memorial, George Hosford.

Beautiful pictures. I grew up in New Milford, Connecticut. Went to school at St. Francis Xavier, worked in the Town Hall and have a picture of the Band Shell, signed and numbered by the original artist hanging in my home in Higganum, Ct. Lou White (he was the First Selectman when I worked at the Town) made the frame and it was presented to me when I moved to Clinton in 1979. I have many fond memories especially of the Fair held on the Green each year and the Christmas trees that adorn the same green at Christmas. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Great website Jerry! Excellent photo collection! Heard about it from "East Enders" (Bridgeport, Ct.) website. I was born and raised in Connecticut (now living in the mid-west) and was captivated by the photography. Thanks much!

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for the labor of love that you are doing in pictoriallt documenting CT history. I heard of this website through our church administrator, Rick Wezowicz, at Calvary Presbyterian Church of Enfield.

As you are capturing religious sites in CT, I would draw your attention to the one site in Enfield that you may have overlooked. It is an engraved stone placed at the site where Pastor Jonathan Edwards delivered his famous sermon: "Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God". during the 'Great Awakening' in 1741. This monument is located on the West side of Enfield Street (Rt, 5) in Enfield in front of the Montesorie School (somewhat oppisite the historic Martha parsons house).

I hope you'll be able to capture this to round out your religious theme in CT.

May God continue to bless you in this call He has put on your heart.

Hi Jerry... I loved the shots of Suffield (of course), but was more excited when I saw that you also had pix of Monson, MA where I lived for many years. Palmer, MA and the villages are next, right? ;-)
