It all comes back to Windsor’s Community Museum when you bring up history in downtown Windsor.
Neil Helmer, local historian, took me to Windsor’s Community Museum to discuss the building’s storied history in connection with the War of 1812. We met up with curator, Madelyn Della Valle, who talked a bit more about the 1812 connection by showing us some of the current items on display within the museum.
We may visit this topic again in the future, as it is a massive section of Windsor’s downtown history, but we felt this video was a good start.
If you have any questions or comments about the information on this video, please leave it below or e-mail.
Also, if you have any suggestions of what Neil Helmer should feature on an upcoming Salt & Roses, let us know.
Windsor’s Community Museum is located at 254 Pitt Street West, and is wrought with amazing historical displays and artifacts.
