 Did your ancestors come from the Salmon Brook section of Simsbury, CT

 (now Granby, CT)? 

The Salmon Brook Historical Society in Granby is

 building a climate controlled archive to preserve and protect the

family deeds, diaries, letters and other documents in our care, as

 well as our extensive genealogy files and library.

 We need your help to preserve these valuable archives. Our present

archives  are crowded into two small rooms of a 1790 building. File drawers and

 bookshelves are crammed full and boxes are piled to the ceiling. Our

 only climate control is the weather.

 The Salmon Brook Historical Society is building "The Preservation

 Barn," a two and a half story, 40 foot by 80 foot fireproof metal

 building. It will  have climate controlled library, archive and storage rooms, as well as

 expanded exhibit space. The Society has already raised $200,000 for

 the building, and needs to raise an additional $200,000.

 Your contribution will ensure the safety and availability of your

 family genealogy records now and for future researchers.

The Salmon Brook Historical Society has selected donor categories,

 using the names of elected offices chosen at early Town Meetings.

 The Salmon Brook Historical Society is a 501(c),(3) charitable

 organization. Contributions are tax deductible in accordance with

Internal  Revenue Service regulations.
