Thanks to a long-standing pattern of residents concerned with preserving and promoting the history of the town, Groton retains many period houses, countless primary source documents, and other annals of the past. 

In a new book by Arcadia Publishing, members of the Groton Historical Society use over 200 vintage photographs to provide a glimpse into mid 19th and early 20th century life in Groton.
