Pilgrim Covenant Church celebrates 120th anniversary Gospel Singing Competition draws variety of music styles

|

In January 1902, the Free Swedish Farmers of North Granby Society was formed. That institution transitioned over the years to become Pilgrim Covenant Church of Granby, which celebrates its 120th anniversary this year. The church has seen many changes since its beginnings but kept its New England small-town flavor, exemplified by its charming white-steepled church sitting on the Granby-Southwick town line.

A modified IBAC was established in January 2022 to specifically study topics of importance for the town as determined by the First Selectman, the first of which has been the use of the federal Covid-19 funds.

History

Ethel Linnell, first SBHS curator

By |

In its first 75 years, the Salmon Brook Historical Society has had three amazing curators. I have written about Eva Dewey saving Granby history when she stored most of the files, genealogical files, and artifacts in her house while the SBHS was first renovating its campus. I also have written about how Carol Laun helped transform the society as we know it today and became our town historian and educator. Both Eva and Carol followed in the footsteps of our first curator, Ethel Linnell.
