Program: Colrain, Apple Capital!

How the apple got to Colrain, and what we did with it, will be the topic of the Colrain Historical Society’s October program. West County Cider’s Field Maloney will tell the story of the apple in Colrain from early settlement to the present. Colrain’s history has been rich in apples and cider and orchards for several centuries now. 

The program on Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. will follow the business meeting and election of CHS Officers at 7 in the Stacy Barn behind the Pitt House. 

Refreshments will be served, including cider. 

The program is free and open to the public.

Article from the Brattleboro New England Farmer in November 1910 stating the opinion of one Colrain apple grower that “the best apples in the world are grown in Colrain.”
