School Photo Project

The Eastford Historical Society is excited to share with you a collection of over 100 historical school photos. This project covers the following two periods, 1847 – 1949, when Eastford operated as many as eight small school district schools, and 1950 – 1964, when the community was served by a modern, four- room elementary school.

We invite you to join our two Google albums. Use the comment function to assist us with identification, share the links with family and friends, download images for personal use, and contribute images of your own for us to add to this collection.

We want to add as many photos as possible to our albums. If you have additional class or activity photos from before 1965 that you would be willing to share, please email the images, with names if known, to ehsarchives@gmail.com. We offer free, same-day photo pickup, scan and return service for your convenience. Please call Tom at 860 974-1610 to make arrangements for this service.

Thank you for supporting this preservation and sharing project!

NO Google "Sign In" is required to use these albums.
