West Hartford History: Where Was This Photo Taken?

If you think you know the answer or have a special memory related to the photo, respond in the "Leave a comment" box below this article. We'll run the answer next Monday, along with a new historical photo. The image has been provided by the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society.

Last week we asked readers to identify what was happening in a photo. Patch usually has the answer in advance, but not this time, and the guess of a sale at S.K. Lavery, which was mentioned by both John Maloney and JoAnn, seemed to be the likely answer. Maloney also thought perhaps it could be a home/kitchen show at the West Hartford Armory.

The correct answer, provided by the Noah Webster House & West Hartfod Historical Society, is: "This was one of the displays that could be seen at the 1926 Connecticut State Fair that was held at Charter Oak Park."
