Around Woodbury

by Frederick W. Chesson

Overview

Woodbury lies in the Pomperaug Valley of western Connecticut, in the heart of what is known as Antique Alley. On every side are towns that once fell—in whole or in part—within the boundaries of Woodbury: Southbury, South Britain, Bethlehem, and Middlebury. All of these communities appear in Around Woodbury. This fascinating pictorial history tells the story of an important and beautiful area, that has long exerted a great cultural influence on the region. The book's insightful narrative and vivid photographs contain an amazing amount of detail and create a vivid account of the early people, activities, stores, schools, churches, and events of this special area.
