The third graders at Louis Toffolon Elementary School recently enjoyed a presentation by Mrs. Eberhardt and Mrs. Stanley from the Plainville Historical Society, about the Tunxis Indians, the tribe of Native Americans that used to live in the area that became the town of Plainville. The students had the opportunity to touch many artifacts, including a garden hoe, a birchbark bowl, storage containers made from gourds, and an arrow. They will be learning more about the Tunxis and the history of Plainville during the school year, and they will be taking a field trip to the Plainville Historical Society in the spring.
Historical society enters cyberspace
The Plainville Historical Society is turning to the World Wide Web to get its message out to an increasingly more computer-savvy membership, thanks to the help offered by a local Web design and marketing firm.
