Book Talk & Signing: The Connecticut 169 Club
Join us for an engaging evening with author and historian Martin Podskoch, featuring a presentation and book signing of The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut.
Inspired by his travels across the state, Podskoch created this unique guide to encourage visitors and residents alike to explore all 169 towns and villages of Connecticut. Filled with local history, hidden gems, and contributions from residents of each town, the book serves as both a travel guide and a personal “passport” for your journey.
The Connecticut 169 Club is open to all ages and invites individuals, families, and adventurers to experience the beauty and diversity of the state—one town at a time.
Following the presentation, guests will have the opportunity to meet the author and purchase signed copies of the book at a special discounted price.
All are welcome—come discover Connecticut in a whole new way!
