A blue and historical marker with raised white inscription give the history of East Windsor, CT. The marker contains the seal of the State of Connecticut and is inscribed on both sides:

STATE OF CONNECTICUT

EAST WINDSOR
Separated from Old Windsor and
constituted a township on the
"second Thursday of May A. D. 1768".
In this area was the North Society
of Old Windsor, organized in May 1752.

Ferry service established by John
Bissell in 1641 from Windsor to the
Quarry Wharf on the east bank of
the Connecticut River encouraged
permanent settlements on this side
in the late l600's. River boats
brought supplies to the Quarry
Wharf and to Warehouse Point for
local needs.

Forty-five answered the Lexington
Alarm from East Windsor which was a
"provision" town for the Revolution.
