The days when letters only came on paper – and just once a day? Letters filled with news\, gossip\, and important business? Travel back to those days with Mike Miller from the Enfield Historical Society. He will share letters from the 1800s and early 1900s and talk about what their words tell us and what we can learn when we read between the lines. Some are funny\, some sad\, some strictly business\, there’s even one where the writer admits to poisoning someone…. All are interesting and some lead to surprising questions and revelations about Enfield’s history. \nThis presentation is open to the public.  Everyone is welcome to attend. \nThe Enfield Historical Society is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that has preserved and shared Enfield’s history for more than 60 years.  New members are always needed and greatly appreciated.  Everyone is welcome.  You don’t need to be a historian or Enfield native to join.  Become a member today!

Today it is a place to learn what school was like in the days before the Internet or even electricity and plumbing. \nOur friendly volunteers are here to help you practice your ABCs\, teach you how to parse a sentence\, show you how the latest in inkwell and chalk slate technology works\, and perhaps even share their (and your) school days stories. Come step back into a different time. Plan to spend at least half an hour.
