Carol O'Connor Statue

Behind the Children's Literary Garden is a wooden statue of a woman reading a book to two children. That statue is a memorial to Carol O'Connor.

Carol was a former councilwoman (2000 - 2003). She also served as Receiver of Taxes from 1974 - 1977 and as Town Clerk from 1978 - 1987. She then served as Town Clerk and Receiver of Taxes from 1988 - 1999. She was a member of the historical society and a Plucky Player, a group of women that performed at many area nursing homes, schools, churches and party houses from early 1970 to present. She passed away on September 25, 2003.

As the season changes it is a good time to visit the literary garden and look upon the statue to reflect.
