THE CHESHIRE TOWN HISTORIAN AND THE CHESHIRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF GIRL SCOUTS!
The Girl Scouts are celebrating 100 years this year and our Cheshire Town Historian, Jeanné Chesanow, and our CHS Curator, Mary Ellen Kania, have assembled a display of Girl Scout Memorabilia in the Exhibit Room at the Hitchcock-Phillips House. Cheshire residents and CHS members have loaned and donated a wonderful assortment of Girl Scout gear, including badges, pocketbooks, manuals, hats, scarves, and more. This is well worth a visit to the Historical Society to see! We are sure you will find at least one item and say, "Oh yeah, I remember that!" Cheshire's "THISTLE TROOP" was organized in 1913 / 1917 and was the first troop in Connecticut. Also on disply is a black neckershief and Girl Scout pin worn by Society member Joy Hostage in Scarsdale NY, circa 1938. The scarf could be made into a sling for an injured arm (see small photo below).
