Newtown marks 300th birthday with yearlong tricentennial plan
Police Sgt. Stanley Short leads Newtown's 300th anniversary efforts, starting with a January 7:30 pm birthday party at Alice Grim School. The tricentennial centers on restoring the Mill House at Paper Mill and St. David's Roads, with a large scale dollhouse model and countywide slide shows to engage residents. The project has involved volunteers, fund raising, and historical exhibits, as Short prepares for a final push in 1981 and a museum society formation afterward.
