“Colrain, 1896: A Snapshot” will be the topic of the next Colrain Historical Society program Thursday, September 8. With old photos, anecdotes and narrative, Belden Merims will describe life in the town before the coming of the Colrain-Shelburne Falls trolley that year. This program continues the series devoted to transportation in Colrain, from the earliest paths and roads to the trolley and how it changed Colrain.
