Children's Literature Festival

The Colrain Historical Society was host to budding historians ages 5-12 for an hour August 6. Fourteen participants in the Children’s Literature Festival at the Buckland Shelburne School, director Toni Wilcox and a few grandparents toured the current exhibit in the Pitt House barn and in several outbuildings.

Highlight of the tour for many was the opportunity to pull the large antique fire hose, as long-ago firemen did, around the yard. They also enjoyed examining Ross Purrington's red meat wagon.

The current exhibit, which was open three Sundays this summer, shows a variety of objects from the collection which we have discovered in the ongoing process of inventory. The exhibit can be seen by appointment. Call Belden at (413) 624-3453.
