Did you know… Fun facts about Danielson’s history… The birth of the Danielson commercial district had much to do with the arrival of the Norwich & Worcester Railroad in 1840. It was one of the first railroads in Connecticut and had stations up and down the Quinebaug Valley, which created some of the earliest ‘depot villagers’ in the United States. With the Norwich & Worcester Railroad established, population shifted in the town to the area near the railroad. ~ Courtesy of The Killingly Historical & Genealogical Society, Inc.

BY CLARE HOPKINS VILLAGER STAFF WRITER THOMPSON — Fort Hill Farms held a grand opening for its 2011 Corn Maze Adventure last Saturday, Aug. 20. This is the 10th year the farm has made a corn maze for the public. This year the theme was “The Farmer’s Cow, She’s your Neighbor.” “This particular year the theme of the maze is the importance of local food, farms and agri- culture,” said Peter Orr, who is co-owner of the farm with his wife, Kristin. “So with that over- all theme about the awareness for local farms and food, we had a ribbon cutting ceremony there done farm style. We used bail and twine as ribbon and farm tools as means to cut the rib- bon.” Seen from a bird’s eye view, the maze is in the shape of Connecticut, with a cow grazing in the center. There is also a smaller maze for children in the shape of a milk carton. Orr said hundreds of residents came out on Saturday to enjoy the maze and sample milk and ice cream from The Farmer’s Cow. “The day went off great,” he said. “We had a great turnout. We had hundreds of people show up. Many of those people were showing up to share experiences at our farms and memories of the day and hopefully they’ll come back for more.” Also in attendance were state Sen. Donald Williams, Connecticut Commissioner of Agriculture Steven Revicky and Stop & Shop Vice President of Sales Steven Ballirano. “It was a good family event,” Orr said. “We had a lot of people from the community, a lot of young families, it was just a great time.”
