On Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the Haddam Fire Station #1, 439 Saybrook Road, Higganum native Lindamae Peck will speak about her continued research into the D. & H. Scovil Hoe Company records, this time focusing on the period of the mid-1850s through the Civil War. The company’s largest clients for their self-sharpening planter’s hoe were southern cotton plantations and the Civil War presented an array of issues for the firm. How did the firm adapt?
