Reseña del libro "Plainville, Connecticut: A History (en Inglés)"

A Town Like No OtherOnce called the "wicked city of the Plain," Plainville grew from underestimated beginnings to become a robust manufacturing center by the twentieth century. It is one of the United States' earliest railroad junctions and was once a major port along the Farmington Canal. The town was home to unique characters and creations, including ornate carriages, a "Flying Governor" and the beginnings of ESPN. Discover the forgotten railroad feud that led to Plainville's incorporation in 1869 and nearly united it as a single town with Forestville. Meet the people who have called this town home, including inventors, bootleggers and the Blue Devils. Remember lost town landmarks like Trask School, Appell Drug and Plainville Stadium. Join local historian Todd Jones as he explores the rich history of this Connecticut town. A portion of this book's royalties will go to the Plainville Historical Society.
