Over the years Lloyd Shanley wrote many articles for local newspapers and other publications. These articles gave us all a glimpse into Harwinton's past as depicted by Lloyd.

"Vignettes" is a book which has been published that captures many of these stories that Lloyd has written. Books are available at all Harwinton Historical Society events and also at our Town Hall. The price of this keep-sake is only $25.00. If you would like to order one and have it sent to you, contact the Historical Society at P.O. Box 84 Harwinton, CT. 06791.
