Introducing Historic Wallingford

Glenn December 13, 2017 1 Comment

I have just learned of an exciting new Wallingford organization, Historic Wallingford.

A group of very enthusiastic Wallingford residents have developed this organization, had it incorporated as a non-profit entity in May 2017 and will orchestrate its official launch in January.
