Did You Know?...

Three organizations involved with the Vintage Baseball Game have been in Torrington since the 1860s or earlier?

Can you guess which organizations they are?

Below are the three organizations that withstood the test of time and have been Torrington staples since the 1800s! Congratulations to all of these organizations!!!

Our hope is that we can all be "neighbors" for another 150+ years!
