Willimantic, Before Redevelopment


Claire Mickle has been kind to share her thoughts, memories and recollections of what downtown Willimantic was like, before redevelopment, in the late 1950's. early 1960's.  If  you have memories to share please add to the comments section at the bottom of the page.  Now, Claire's memories in her own words.

South side of Main St  Introduction
For many years downtown Willimantic was family oriented. All of our families knew all shop keepers and business people and they all knew us. For years Main St never changed. I would like to show Main St. as it is very nostalgic. When people get togeather and say: Oh, "I remember this" or I remember that." This is Main St in the fifties and sixties.
