Indigenous Peoples of Glastonbury

Back by popular demand! Just in time for National Native American Heritage Month!

The Indigenous Peoples lived for twelve-thousands years in the area now known as Glastonbury. From the earliest hunters and gatherers who travelled in the area, to the tribes of the Algonquin Nation who settled in the area with their horticultural way of life, these peoples have contributed to creating the Glastonbury we know today.

Diane Hoover and Maura Paulekas from the Historical Society of Glastonbury will present information on the history and culture of the Wangunks, the local tribe of the Algonquin Nation. There will be slide presentation as well as objects and artifacts for guests to examine.
