We are not sure when this photo was taken, but we know it's from the WW1 era and that these women were part of Ensign-Bickford’s early days here in Simsbury. Long before job titles and records were carefully kept, women were doing important, hands-on work that helped build the company and support their families.

Their names have been lost to time, but their presence has not. If this photo looks familiar or sparks a family story, we would love to hear it.

Tagging the Simsbury Free Library and the Simsbury Historical Society to help us uncover and honor a small piece of local history.
