Children's Home Celebrates Centennial, Honors CFD

On August 12, 2000, The Children's Home of Cromwell celebrated 100 years of caring for children with great fanfare and a homecoming. In a ceremony attended by dignitaries from across the country, the Cromwell Fire Department was thanked for its support over the past century. On behalf of our department, Chief David Colligan accepted a beautiful framed painting created by one of the residents. A gold plaque on the painting reads
