During Open Farm Day on Sept. 14, Salmon Brook Historical Society will host a public opening of the Sadoce Wilcox House, at 145 Simsbury Road in West Granby.
Although rain may have suppressed attendance for the June 29 outdoor arts and education festival celebrating the diversity of humanity, those who attended experienced a high-vibe, uplifting day. Granby Racial Reconciliation (GRR) was pleased to bring many talented groups to Granby as examples of the beauty of our diverse humanity.
The Salmon Brook Historical Society proudly displays a remarkable collection of Aaron Draper Shattuck’s paintings in its Preservation Barn, thoughtfully organized and displayed by Curator Martha Miller.
In the fall of 2020, during the pandemic, the Salmon Brook Historical Society found a way to share Granby’s history outdoors. We called it “A Stroll through Granby History.” The Stroll was an opportunity to both walk and learn; no one went inside any of the homes. We are doing it again!
You might ask, “How does Granby relate to the first amendment of the United States Constitution?” The first amendment prohibits government from establishing any religion or abridging speech, the press, or peaceable assembly. This is Part one of a five-part series covering 50 years of religious and other historical tensions to answer that question.

I have an autumnal personality. Maybe being born in the fall is why I have an affinity for all things rustic and earthy. Nature is an inspiration, a cycle of overlapping endings and beginnings.
It’s been two months since we last shared all that is happening at Holcomb Farm, which means there is so much to share: more than we could ever convey in our monthly Drummer installment (for which we are immensely appreciative). We hope you have found—or will find—time to visit us and experience our beautiful farm and trails for yourselves.
September is upon us. Our hot, steamy months of gardening are turning into cooler nights, shorter days and a slow down to the summer planting season. But we are still contending with the weeds.

What is your favorite barnyard animal? Choices include chicken, cow, donkey, goat, horse, pig and sheep. Each of these has its claim to fame, its singular breed with unique characteristics, definable personalities and very specific uses. Of course, there is no wrong answer. Animal lovers’ favorites are not debatable.
