History Of Berlin's Schools Topic Of Special Program This Month

BERLIN, CT — The Berlin Historical Society this week and later this month is hosting a must-see program on the town's school buildings and the people whose names adorn the exteriors.

The program — "The History of Berlin's Schools" — is on Thursday, June 12, at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, 234 Kensington Road, Berlin, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

A second forum is slated for Tuesday, June 24, at the Berlin Senior Center, 33 Colonial Drive, from 1 to 2 p.m.

According to the historical society, a similar event took place in 2016, and it proved to be quite popular.

"We did a Story Share on Schools of Berlin back in November 2016, and it drew a large audience," wrote the historical society. "You won't want to miss it this time around."

At either event, organizers are also looking for folks' stories about the schools they attend, so audience participation is encouraged.

The program will be hosted by Berlin-Peck Memorial Librarian Emeritus Cathy Nelson and Berlin Town Historian/Berlin Historical Society President Sallei Caliandri.
