Mini Golf

The Ellington Historical Society is excited to be opening a new exhibit on April 22, Earth Day.

The focus will be the wonderful history of the Crystal Lake area. It will feature photographs and memorabilia, the sights, the sounds, even the tastes of life during the early 1900s. Think Jimmy’s! Come and learn the story of Crystal Lake. Was it always called Crystal Lake?

We are so pleased to share that our Department of Public Works has received approval to move forward with a project to deal with felled/dying trees at the Metcalf Trail, funded by a DEEP grant. Work will be taking place over the next month, pending weather cooperation. While the trail is currently closed and will remain closed until the project is complete and the area is safe, we wanted to provide an update. We will be sure to let everyone know when the trail is officially reopened. Happy hiking.

Town offices will be closed Feb. 20 for the observation of Presidents Day. There will beno delay in trash collection.
