Salisbury, Connecticut is a quintessential New England town founded in 1741. The Salisbury Association was established in 1902 to promote the best interests of the town and to protect its natural attractions. Today that mission includes preserving our history, conserving our land, and celebrating our community.
News
The Salisbury Association held an Open House September 13 to introduce its redesigned exhibit space. The improvements include increased prominence for the recently conserved Holley pocketknife collection, a fresh and illuminating new way to showcase the rest of the Salisbury Association’s permanent collection, and a new Land Trust display that includes trail maps and other valuable information.
It was designed pro-bono by Chris Pouler, a professional designer of exhibits and television news sets. Chris is the husband of Salisbury Association Trustee Abeth Slotnick.
In addition to Pouler and several Trustees who worked on the project, our thanks go out to the following individuals who provided their valuable services: James Clark—graphics layouts, Duane Jones—installation of a new wall, Mark and Matt Shaggy—construction of wall panels, Carrie Babigian— custom fabrication of cherry display rack, Cory Wiggins—painting, and Ghi Sign—printing of graphics and interpretative panels.
