JEWISH FARMERS IN CONNECTICUT
Please join the Jewish Genealogical Society of Connecticut
on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 1:30 pm at the Godfrey Memorial Library, 134
Newfield Street, Middletown, CT. Mary Donohue, the co-author of A Life
of the Land: Connecticut’s Jewish Farmers, will describe how The Jewish
Agricultural Society in New York began an effort in the 1880s to settle some of
the new European immigrants on farms in Connecticut. One area the society chose
was centered around Colchester, Lebanon, and Montville. The story of these
families and how they owned, worked the farms for generations, and developed
the resorts of Moodus will be the subject of the talk.
The talk is free and open to the public.
