The names Timothy Stevens, Gideon Welles, the Smith sisters and John Howard Hale sprinkle our conversation today. From Steven's role as the town's first minister; Welles' cabinet post under Lincoln as the first Secretary of the Navy; Julia and Abby Smith's pursuit for women's rights in 1869; to Hale's famous peaches, Glastonbury abounds in famous personalities. Harriman for the early Connecticut-made aircraft engine; J.B. William's soaps; Hubbard's tanning mill; Bidwell's grist mill; and many, many more.
