TRAIL MAPS AVAILABLE: OLD NEPAUG CEMETERY NEEDS YOU! Honoring Our Past…Preserving Our History, volunteers from The November brought a hearty garden club work crew to the Old Nepaug Cemetery for the planting of 200 daffodil bulbs in a third year of effort to brighten the little cemetery on Route 202. Customarily outside the non-profit garden club’s town projects, members rallied around fellow member Linda Dryansky when she became involved with maintaining the The town’s past can be viewed carved in each stone, and history deeply marks the hallowed ground. The Old Nepaug cemetery holds 161 interments… and while most of the graves are from the 1800’s, the oldest stone is the grave of Shubael Crow (a Veteran Revolutionary War Pensioner) marking his death in 1798. Obelisks, carved stone, grave stones, markers and sculptures requiring repair, cleaning and straightening await the spring when volunteers will have at it once more. Plans are to organize a separate and dedicated non-profit to manage the care and restoration of the cemetery as well as chronicle the compelling history represented by each headstone. If you have been seeking a rewarding way to contribute to a community project and would like to help, please contact Linda at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Our winter wish list is; a non-profit guru who can shepherd volunteers through the process of setting up the organization, a marketer who can create and discharge press releases as needed, a grant writer, a biography buff/historian to search out and record the family histories from the stones, and volunteers to bring energy and ideas. Donations are welcome, and will be used for cemetery repair and upkeep. Garden enthusiasts are encouraged to consider joining The New Hartford Garden Club; the membership fee for this rewarding nonprofit community minded group is $15.00 a year.

.DEP Proposed Stream Flow Standards: According to the DEP, the new standards and regulations will be an important step toward ensuring more natural flows in waterways, but they are spurring a good deal of debate. Why? Who will be affected by the regulations? What are the benefits? Will these regulations effect the homeowner who has any type of stream, brook, river, etc running through his property? Please visit the State of CT Website to learn more about the regulations www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?a=2719&q=434018&depNav_GID=1654
