The authors have carefully selected these images from the historical society's photographic archives and combined them with a thoroughly researched narrative to bring us this unique visual record of Killingly's past. Coolidge and Spencer's strong commitment to preserving history is evident in Killingly, and will serve as an inspiration to readers of all ages for generations to come.
