An Ordinary Day in Southington, 100 Years Ago From 1919 to 1974, The Southington News was the town’s main newspaper. For most of its run, it published a mix of articles on local news and sports along with editorials and ads, just like its successor, The Southington Observer.

The Southington Genealogical Society will present a webinar on the topic of Artificial Intelligence and Genealogy on Tuesday, March 24. The 7 p.m. program exploring AI and its role in family research will be held in-person at the Southington Historical Society, 239 Main St. and can also be accessed by Zoom. For more information or to receive the link, email [email protected]. Everyone is welcome.

Set your clocks ahead one hour tonight or you'll be late all day on Sunday!

There will be no meeting tonight, Feb. 24, of SGS. See you in March!

A bit belated but Happy Valentine's Day!

Remembering the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! Our programming will resume in 2026 - stay tuned!
