Hubbard Park II Thursday March 28 at 6:30
Are you interested in an upcoming Meriden history lesson? How about this – Hubbard Park Part II, with more secrets revealed? Due to space requirements, there was so much information that had to be excluded with the first book, Images of America: Hubbard Park, that Justin Piccirillo would like to entertain you with several new and untold tales of the park. In addition, it provides a teaser to his upcoming book, Hidden History of Meriden. Trust me! You are not going to want to miss this!
