How many people in Norwich, CT can recall the the location of the Tourist Information Center for Norwich, CT in 1973? How many people knew there was even an Information Center in 1973? In a search for something else, I came across this photo of my mother, Helen Fishbone, that appeared in a spring issue of the Norwich Bulletin.

It is old, it is battered I do not know the date of its publication so with the photo I am also attaching to this blog the letter of explanation that the original negatives were lost. I was in high school and not paying a lot of attention. But if my memory serves at all the Information Center was manned by various members of the Veterans Auxiliaries. I don’t think it was put up every day but I know for certain someone was there on Fridays and Saturdays.

What were the attractions back then? What made Norwich, CT interesting to visitors? Where were people going that they would be passing through Norwich, CT?

Who else has a memory of the Information Center?
