Dedicated to Preserving, Protecting and Promoting the
History of Old Saybrook

Thank you so much for your interest in out family, hero Claude Zanni, a WWII veteran of Old Saybrook. As a family we are thrilled that you would sponsor this event to honor our uncle—and your citizen.

Thanks for the great work that you all did in planning, publicizing and carrying out the Zanni family event.  I think we were all equally touched by how special the ceremony became, and I was amazed at how kind, personable and familial everyone was, from the Zanni relatives to the OSHS staff to the VFW members.

On behalf of the staff in the History and Genealogy Unit, please allow me to thank you for the donation of the work On the Edge of Uncertainty; The Siege and Battles of Saybrook Fort during the Pequot War, 1636-1637, which we received recently.  What a wonderful project and partnership!  That’s very exciting to uncover the location of the Saybrook Fort and learn more about life during the time. We are very pleased to add this to our collections.  I’m sure it will be of great interest to those researching this topic.  What a lovely and informative self guided  map and tour as well.

I want to thank you again, including the Old Saybrook Historical Society itself, for such an eventful research morning.  I can simply say, “I had the best time!” and want to acknowledge again how professional, resourceful, and pleasant, mu experience was researching these families.

Thank you and all the wonderful people at the OS Historical Society for hosting a wonderful Chamber Connecticut event on June 6th.  It was a  great evening and everyone learned a bit of history too!

One of my proudest accomplishments is having some of my paintings in the Old Saybrook Historical Society General William Hart House

I am writing to thank you for your generous, financial support towards my higher education.  By awarding me this scholarship, I am able to concentrate on what is important for me, education.  Your financial support has allowed me to be one step closer to my goal and has inspired me to help others by continuing to give back to the community.

Thank you so much for the four great years!  The Hart House was an amazing place to learn, grow, and connect with the community.  I would also like to thank you for the scholarship money and for helping me with my future endeavors.

I agreed to have my 1900 Victorian house included in this year’s historic home tour because the history of Old Saybrook is so important.  The warm and complimentary comments received from the visitors were humbling.  It was all worth the effort.

One of the best decisions I ever made was to volunteer for the Old Saybrook Historical Society.  It’s been a happy journey.  You are such a great team.  Thank you all so much.

I read every word of the last Old Saybrook Historial Society newsletter.  What a wonderful organization you lead.  I love Old Saybrook and hope to return some day.
