Farming -- Miscellaneous

Most of the material in this collection was generated as a result of a survey of Jewish farms in Connecticut jointly undertaken in 1995-1998 by the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford and the Connecticut Historical Commission. Other material related to Jewish farms in Connecticut has been added since that time. The collection includes photographs of individual farms, farmers, and farm buildings, oral histories, and newspaper articles regarding local farm families and businesses.
