Coventry, Connecticut
Historical Society
The Society continues to participate in local history studies with the Coventry schools. The Society recognizes the need to teach children to understand the importance of preserving history. As they grow older, we hope they will continue to be active participants in the preservation of our history. Coventry Colonial Camp, cosponsored with the Antiquarian & Landmarks Society, is a one-week day camp held in July for youngsters in the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades. All Coventry Historical Society sites, as well as the Hale Homestead, are used for this program. The Society also works with the Girl Scouts as they open the Brick School House to the public on special occasions throughout the year to acquaint the public with school life in the late 19th and early 20th century.
