Charlie Lynes honored at July
4th parade
The Barkhamsted Historical Society marched in the Independence Day parade in Pleasant
Valley. During and after the parade we honored Charlie Lynes, former Historical
Society president and long time board member. Charlie has played a critical
role in Society activities for a number of years. He is responsible for getting
our Schoolhouse restoration project reenergized in the early 1990s, and worked tirelessly
to keep the Hitchcock Chair Museum operating for a number of years. For years
Charlie has been in charge of our flea market events, a major fundraising effort
for the Historical Society. Charlie has logged countless hours of volunteer
work during the restoration of the Squire's Tavern. His hard work and commitment
have long been appreciated by the Historical Society.
