So it's only fitting that it has a nice quiet historical marker. It's rather brief text doesn't really offer any "wow" factors. So what does it highlight as epic moments in Tolland history? It was named after Tolland England. Its first homes were built over 400 years ago in a part of town named for ancestors of a 19th Century President. It was once the state's county seat. Its courthouse became a library and its jail became a museum. Not exactly scintillating stuff. This is a two-sided marker from the CT Historical Commission in the familiar white lettering on a blue background. It can be found on a grassy area on the side of the municipal building.

This plaque is hard to read for two reasons…read more First of all, it bears really confusing language about the history of the land - it was renamed a few times, it was bought as compensation between a few parties (take your pick -Indians, General Assembly, Windsor) and somehow the land was used to resolve a border dispute between CT and MA. It's really hard to make sense of this. Second of all, the marker is not in good condition. Actually, the side facing the library is in deplorable condition and is very hard to read. The lettering on the side facing away from the library is much better, but it has chips of peeling blue paint. This is a two-sided marker from the CT Historical Commission, with the familiar white lettering on a blue background. The same inscription is on both sides. The marker dates to 1972. It's located on a town green where Main Street and Maple street converge near the Hall Memorial Library. The inscription reads: This region was named by Indian inhabitants Weaxskashuck, meaning Great Marsh. Early white settlers called it Windsor Goshen, or Great Marsh. In 1671 Town of Windsor purchased western part from the Indians, receiving eastern portion later from General Assembly to replace land taken from Windsor to settle boundary dispute between Massachusetts and Connecticut. Samuel Pinney was the first settler in 1717. Former home of the Reverend John McKinstry, 1730 is probably oldest house standing in Ellington Legislative action established parish in 1735. Part of Windsor east of Connecticut River was set off 1768, becoming East Windsor and incorporated in 1786.
