"Avon Connecticut's First Century" Historian and Author Scott Lewis
About this episode
The return of AVON TALKS podcast!
Step back in time to discover what life was like during Avon’s earliest days. I'm your new host Jim Pabich and my guest is local historian and author Scott Lewis, whose new book Avon Connecticut's First Century, Visionaries and Victims takes readers through the town’s formative years — a period filled with a mix of ambition, hardship, and transformation.
Scott’s stories bring to life the local families who laid the foundation for the town we know today and the national figures who crossed their paths. We’ll talk about what inspired him to write this history, the surprising discoveries he made along the way, and why understanding Avon’s past helps us appreciate the community we live in now.
