Old Lyme, Lyme and East Lyme were once one town, founded in the 1600s. Known for early innovations in industry, government and education, these towns also share a wealth of overlooked history. Discover the taverns where Patriots met during the Revolution, the Diving Horses at the Golden Spur Amusement Park and the Spiritualist Camp that has held séances since 1882. Meet the smuggler captain who routinely escaped prison to visit his wife, the Revolutionary War veteran who trailblazed the West and the abolitionist who helped Frederick Douglass escape to freedom. Authors Jim Lampos and Michaelle Pearson weave a fascinating tapestry of local legends, history and lore.

Old Lyme's illustrious history owes much to innovative women. Suffragist Katharine Ludington was co-founder of the League of Women Voters. In the 1830s, Phoebe Griffin Noyes started a school for art and general subjects. At the turn of the twentieth century, Florence Griswold welcomed the artists of the Lyme Art Colony by creating the "Birthplace of American Impressionism." By World War II, Teddy Kenyon had made her mark as a test pilot. Old Lyme's artistic tradition was continued by Elisabeth Gordon Chandler, who founded the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in 1976. Authors Michaelle Pearson and Jim Lampos honor the women whose triumphs made Old Lyme the popular summer resort and artists' colony it is today.

A very complete collection of vital statistics containing all the data from the first four volumes of town books, a lengthy section of family and vital records extracted from the town's early town records, membership data and vital statistics from the records of the First Congregational Church, and data on the town's soldiers down through the Civil War. Some of the data are for the seventeenth century, but the bulk of the information concerns the period from 1700 to 1850. The records were transcribed verbatim in their original order and they contain a wealth of entire family groupings. This town was set off from Saybrook in 1667 and its records cover Old Lyme, much of East Lyme, and about half of Salem. A full-name index and an index of church records add to the value of this work.
