As the Salmon Brook Historical Society prepares to celebrate 80 years of preserving Granby’s history in 2025, it proudly reflects on the progress it has made—and the strong foundation it continues to build for the future.
By the time you read this, Chris Fisher’s photography exhibit at Lost Acres Vineyard will probably be closed, so you will have to go to the libraries in East Granby (September), Simsbury (October) or Avon (November) to experience it, but it will be well worth the drive. He started taking pictures on a seven-week summer Eurail trip in 1971 and hasn’t stopped since!
Seventy years ago, the state of Connecticut and the town of Granby experienced the worst flood in its history.
Collaboration and Community, Meet the Farm Crew!, and Upcoming Events
The Granby Public Library wrapped up another unforgettable Summer Reading Program, this year themed Mystery and Mayhem.

More than twenty-five years ago a group of people gathered with a desire to help more people know and grow with God. That group included Pastor Clark Pfaff and his family and dozens of families from the Granby and the greater Farmington Valley area.
In 2023 when Gabrielle Galiatsatos decided to expand her flower-growing hobby to better serve the community, she told her neighbor Michelle Neidermeyer, part owner of Lost Acres Vineyard with her husband Kevin Riggott, about her “crazy idea.” Neidermeyer enthusiastically offered the use of a segment of the Vineyard property and within a week, wood was delivered for the raised beds and a massive tulip bulb order was placed.
Granby Open Farm Day 2025 is September 6th.
For the second year in a row, Shirley Murtha has won an award in the Connecticut Press Club’s 2024 annual competition. Her article, How the loss of insect populations affects bird life, placed second in the Green/Environmental category.
