BARKHAMSTED — The Barkhamsted Historical Society participated in Connecticut Museum Open House Day on Saturday, June 14.
The open house included a slideshow featuring photographs of Pleasant Valley and a tour of Squires Tavern. From the authentic reproduction of the 1800s stencil wallpaper in the building’s liquor keep to the 1846 Bedroom Quilt, thought to be a wedding gift, the 19th-century style tavern allows a walk through history.
