NotesConstituent Note: Connecticut Photographers lists only one photographer, Nathan P. Palmer, as active in Thompsonville in the late 19th century. There is no evidence to positively link these photographs to Palmer, though it is possible that he could have taken them. They appear to be the work of a professional photographer based in Thompsonville. (Finlay 8/18/2011)
