We assist the Derby Historical Society at special events, like the dedication of the David Humphreys portrait to the left, or when we helped plant a dogwood tree on Good Friday, 2006, in honor of Lorraine Axon on the right.

Many of our members played important roles in the Legends by Lantern tour in October 2006

In December 2006, we spent the day going to historical sites in the area, that were "off the beaten path". The first stop (left) was to a farm in Naugatuck, where a stone marks the ancient boundary between Paugassett (Derby) and Mattatuck (Waterbury).

Later, we hiked into the woods at the Ansonia Nature Center, and found the last settlement of the Paugassett Native American tribe (right).

That evening, we checked  out Charles Seccombe's collection of artifacts relating to Ansonia and the rest of the Valley (left).

After a nighttime visit inside Sterling Opera House, we spent the night at the David Humphreys House. The next morning, (right) we prepared a true "open hearth" breakfast!
