Palisado Green Walking Tour
WINDSOR CT: On June 14, 11:00 a.m., explore Windsor’s historic Palisado Green and learn the stories of Windsor’s first English settlers, adventurers, alchemists, and agitators. Discover a drove of doctors, from Bray Rossiter, who performed the state’s first autopsy, to Horace Henry Hayden, who founded the world’s first school of dentistry. Contemplate that time in 1771 when a group of women protested with drums and torches outside the Return Strong house.

“There’s a lot more to a historic green than old houses,” says Windsor Historical Society program manager, Heather Lodge. “Behind those walls lived casts of characters, all with their own wild, quirky, and inspiring stories to tell.”

Pre-registration encouraged at windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events/. $10 adults, $8 seniors/members, $6 children under 18. Please note this tour includes a short incline. Wear comfortable shoes. Rain date: June 15
Add To Calendar: 6/14
