The Thomaston passport program is open to all Thomaston residents, neighbors and visitors. The program begins July 4th and ends on September 3rd with drop box locations at the Thomaston Town Hall Land Use Office and Thomaston Public Library. Varying levels of prizes totaling over $500 will be announced on September 13th.

 

Postcards are available at all 44 participating locations, and there is no cost or obligation to participate, simply visit the location to get your card stamped. Be sure to put your name and contact information on the card so we can contact you if you are a prize winner.

 

The Town of Thomaston and Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), invite residents to learn about a proposed National Register of Historic Places nomination for the downtown. National Register listing is an honorary status, which celebrates places with important local history. Downtown Thomaston has a wealth of historic resources, worthy of recognition. The historic community spaces, businesses, mill housing, and mill complexes all contribute to the Town’s identity and unique character.

 

Jenny Scofield, National Register Coordinator for SHPO, and Renee Tribert of Preservation Connecticut will provide an overview of the National Register program and benefits of designation.
