Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coventry, lying some twenty miles east of Hartford, is the birthplace of Revolutionary War patriot Nathan Hale. On the National Register of Historic Places, Coventry Village is significant for its early industrial landscape and well-preserved houses that reflect a range of architectural styles including Colonial, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Ann. Among sites of particular interest are Brigham Tavern (where George Washington enjoyed breakfast), the Ripley House, and the Hale Homestead. An important manufacturing area in the 1800s, Coventry was the site of seventeen mills that produced necessities such as cartridges for the Civil War, hats, wagons, paper goods, woolens, silks, yarn, and cotton material. From 1813 to 1847, the glassmaking industry flourished; today, early Coventry glass is a collector's item. In the early 1900s, Lake Wamgumbaug (commonly called Coventry Lake), with its popular Lakeside Park and Pavilion, became a vacation retreat. During the 1930s, vaudevillians and actors discovered the lake and settled in an area that became known as Actors Colony. Coventry traces the history of this unique town from its incorporation in 1712 to the mid-1900s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Coventry: From the first White Man's Log Hut, With All the Most Important Events, Down to the Present Time The author of this work never expected until lately to make his ap pearance in this manner before the public. When he commenced writing this history he only intended to write a little sketch and put it in a news paper for the benefit of the public. After a few articles had been publish ed, fellow townsmen appealed and urged him, contrary to his own wishes, to look up and write a larger and much more complete history of the town. After due consideration he consented to do so.. It has cost a lot of hard work and a great deal of time to compile it, getting only a portion of it from any history, while the greater part had to be gleaned from the older inhabitants, which had to be done by traveling from house to house, making well on to a hundred miles, so you see it was no easy task to get up this history as most of the traveling was done on foot. Now if the reader should see some slight mistake I hope he will forgive, for he must remember that it had to be gleaned from old people that were 70 and 80 years old, and who at that age can have a memory so keen that they might not make some slight mistake; for they all had to tell it from memory. But on the whole I think it is as perfect as any history can be. The writer has put in some incidents, anecdotes, and some thrilling scenes, showing the physical strength and courage, and the determined Will of our forefathers in coming into the then new country covered with dense forests, inhabited by wild beasts and the more dreaded savage toe, the red man, to make homes for themselves and their posterity. He has also put in several poems, which are very appropriate, written for special occasions by the poet and poetess of the town. It also contains all the most important events that have ever happened in the town. The mothers in those early times had much to do with shaping the destiny of the town, most of hem coming from Connecticut, of the old Puritan stock. They could not bear to see the Sabbath day desecrated, so they held meetings every Sabbath, going from house to house, holding some kind of a religious meeting till the first church in town was organized.
