Endangered Waters: The History and Impact of the Rainbow Dam on the Farmington River and Shad Lecture at Windsor Historical Society
WINDSOR CT: May 29 at 6:30 pm, join Windsor Historical Society, the Nature Conservancy, and the Farmington River Watershed Association for a presentation on Windsor’s relationship to the Farmington River, the mighty shad, and the Rainbow Dam. Why does Windsor celebrate the shad? How did the town of Windsor power the City of Hartford? And why was the Farmington River named one of the most endangered rivers in the country in 2024? Come listen, look back, and learn in order to find a way to ensure that “the shad always return”.

Pre-registration encouraged at https://windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events/. $10. $5 for members of Windsor Historical Society, The Nature Conservancy, and the Farmington River Watershed Association. Held at Windsor Historical Society.
