Label TextThis is one of two placemats published by The East Windsor Historical Society in an early effort to raise money and increase the interest of local residents in the history of their town. The East Windsor Historical Society was established in 1965 and the placemats were available by February 1966. This placemat, with a reproduction of a map from Baker & Tilden's 1869 atlas of Hartford County, depicts Warehouse Point, a community in the northwest corner of the town of East Windsor on the Connecticut River.
