Full Description:

The Ledyard Historical Society will have their Annual Meeting on Friday, May 1st at the Ledyard Congregational Church Fellowship Hall on Route 117 in Ledyard, CT.  Join us with your favorite dish for the Potluck DInner at 6:00pm.  A brief business meeting will be followed by a very special presentation by Sheila Wertheimer (program starts at 7:30 pm).  Ms. Wertheimer has owned a landscape design business for over twenty years and specializes in historic gardens.  Her talk, "Exploring the Historic Landscape - Colonial Period to the Victorian Period", will be illustrated, showing properties in Southeastern Connecticut.  She will also discuss the research done in preparation to restore a historic landscape.  This interesting talk will fit in perfectly and get us ready for our tour, "Ledyard Homes and Gardens, New and Old", to be held June 26 and 27.  Bring a dish and a friend for the meeting.  For further information call Nancy Avery 464-9574.  It is free and opened to the public.
