There is a parking lot and restrooms for public use, right behind the building. There is also a sand pile, free for Canton residents during the winter for snow/ice. The Public Works Department is responsible for the following services for the town: -Snow and Ice removal -Transfer station operations/maintenance -Park maintenance -Town buildings/grounds maintenance -Pavement/storm water maintenance -Town infrastructure maintenance -Board of Ed. And Town athletic field maintenance -Special projects for the Town I've only lived in the town for a short period of time. However, I've seen the employees at work at all hours of the night, plowing and salting the roads. They've done a great job with that and keeping the town aesthetically pleasing. The parks are nicely maintained. For the most part, the roads are smooth; now that it's springtime, I am hoping some of the pot holes get fixed soon. The service is comparable to where I came from (Sunrise, FL), which was great. I used to live in Rhode Island and I don't remember seeing any presence of Public Works; the pot holes were outrageous and never got fixed there.

This review is specifically for the kids section on the second floor. I've read reviews that they…read morehad a huge section designated for kids, so I had to check it out. Once you walk in from the parking lot, take an immediate right up the stairs (I don't know if there is an elevator). This floor was huge! Biggest kid section I've seen. The Teens room had their own room. There were multiple study rooms which is pretty awesome, I haven't seen those in the libraries I've been to in the past. There's an art studio as well. The kids/preschool section was nicely decorated. The books were organized and they seem to have a huge collection of childrens books. My toddler loved the play kitchen; there's a puppet section under the tree, a play boat with fishing toys, blocks, chess table, computers, and magnetic blocks. We spent over an hour there and it's a great place to take the kids. I see that they have many events planned that's posted on their bulletin board. I will be back for sure!

So admittedly my review is based on one author event; but it was Mary Kay Andrews. She's prolific,…read moreat least to me. She's the Stephen King of the beach book set, her books are great. So in terms of the actual library: parking was ample. It was an easy in and out. The actual building was impressive, it looked almost like a modern castle, and they had trash cans by their front door. I can't tell you how much time I have wasted in my life trying to find a trash can, and they have two within eyesight of the front door. The bathrooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the books seem to be part of a thorough collection. The actual author event was fantastic; they went above and beyond to make it as summery as they could, and were even playing the sounds of crashing waves as people walked in. Clearly a lot of thought went into every detail.

I visited this library for their annual book and bake sale. If the people streaming out with bags…read moreof books is any indication, they have a fairly loyal following. The selection seems to be ample, and the people working there were actually smiling. I've never seen that in a real life work environment (which may say more about me than them). Getting in and out change be a little challenging, especially if you're using a GPS. Parking is available behind the town hall/police station, and the actual building is on the street but if you're coming from the right, is across a split road. My dog and I drove around for quite a while before this dawned on me.

It consists of five evenly spaced parallel columns joined by a header that reads "Duty, Honor, Country". The five pillars takes you into a time machine that honors Farmington's veterans as it rockets you backwards to a time before America was America. Names of military campaigns and wars going back to 1637 are listed alongside the names of the vets that served. The wars and campaigns listed are: Suppression of Pequots (1637) King Philip's War (1675 - 76) French & Indian Skirmishes (1711 - 12) Defense Of Litchfield (1724) Louisburg Expedition (1745) French & Indian Wars (1754 - 63) Revolutionary War (1776 - 97) War of 1812 Mexican War (1846 - 65) Civil War (1861 - 65) Spanish-American War (1898) World War I (1917 - 21) World War II (1941 - 51) Viet - Nam War (1964 - 73) Lebanon Peace - Keeping (1982 - 84) Grenada Invasion (1983) Operation Earnest Will (1987) Panama Invasion (1989 - 90) Operation Desert Storm (1990 - 91) How's that for a roll call of American history??

Renovations were done throughout the years and even an addition in 2006. The library is architecturally beautiful. There were plenty of parking. It was large, organized, and quiet. We went to the children's section and it was massive. There was a class going on for the kids. I noticed it's more catered to elementary/middle school kids. There was a small preschool section, but there was only a play kitchen with no accessories for it; toy pots and pans, toy food etc. They had a sensory board wall and some play costumes. They had a fish tank and so many fun decorations. The library is a great resource; they offer free and discounted museum passes and more. This is a great asset to Bristol for sure, but wish there were more entertainment for kids 4 and under.

It points out one of the early businesses in Windsor and is my first historical marker in Connecticut. The marker reads, "The Warham Mill was established by Mr. John Warham, first minister to the Windsor Church, in 1840. The Mill has been in continuous use as a grist mill to the present day. Tradition says it was the first grist mill in Connecticut." Online, there is more information. At the corner of Poquonock Avenue and East Street, this is where residents of Windsor and the surrounding area brought their grain, logs, and tools for grinding, sawing, and sharpening for over 300 years. The historic marker at this site credits Rev. John Warham with establishing what may have been the first grist mill in Connecticut. Due to his status as the fledgling town's first minister, by 1640 he had been accorded grants of prime land that included property on both sides of Mill Brook and the right to a toll or payment of one sixteenth of the grain and corn ground at the mill. The miller was also entitled to a toll. Various millers operated "Warham's Mill" including Robert Howard in the 1650s, Peter Brown in 1658, and a long succession of proprietors during the next century and a half. The Windsor Historical Society has put together an excellent and detailed history of the mill. Worth a read. https://windsorhistoricalsociety.org/warhams-mill/ [Review 15160 overall, 662 of 2021, number 16 in Connecticut.]
