The society was formed in 1965 in anticipation of the 1968 bicentennial of the incorporation of East Windsor, CT due primarily to the efforts of its founding president L. Ellsworth Stoughton with the support of many members of the community. Our purposes are to discover, procure, and preserve whatever may relate to the civil, ecclesiastical and natural history of the Town of East Windsor in particular and to the state of Connecticut in general. Its aim is also to collect, preserve and publish historical and biographical material relating to East Windsor and its five villages: Broad Brook, Melrose, Scantic, Warehouse Point, and Windsorville. The Society is a 501(C)(3) tax exempt organization.
Our main museum of local history is housed in the East Windsor Academy building. The exhibits and artifacts on display are interesting and varied, reflecting East Windsor’s rich history from Colonial and Revolutionary periods to the present. Along with the main building, there is the Broad Brook Barber Shop, East Windsor Probate Court, and 2 barns (one with a converted apartment). The latest edition, the Osborn House is finished and is now open to the public.

Does the historical society do Oral History Interviews? My 99 year old mother was born in Broad Brook in 1919.

I am embarrassed to see somehow we missed your comment in the about section.
Yes we can now do oral histories and would be interested in doing so. Easiest way is to contact us at eastwindsorhistory@gmail.com.
I am trying to find a copy of a book called The Village of Broad Brook by Joseph Vozek. I did try the library in town but they couldn’t help. Any suggestions?
Bill
We have copies in our Research Library that you may look at. The Museums is open every Saturday from 9 to Noon. Stop in and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Both the Broad Brook and Warehouse Point Library should have or have had copies of the book. The society has a copy in our reference library to view but cannot loan out. You can contact us at eastwindsorhistory@gmail.com.
