The urban history regarding the Meriden Horse Association and its track and park site in the north end of town near Leonard Road is a fascinating story. Many thanks to history buff Dan DeLuca for assembling the information on this nearly vanished piece of the city’s past.
Dale Plummer and David Oat are examining as many of the city of Norwich’s bells – fire, church, other – as can still be found. It would be great if someone could do the same for Meriden.
Anyone who wanted to know what a tintype camera was had the opportunity recently at Southington’s Barnes Museum. It was a fundraiser for the museum and the Brooklyn-based David Sokosh who specializes in historic cameras was on hand to do tintypes with his somewhat reconstructed apparatus.
