Summary:
About 1965, through the efforts of Eva L. Butler, Harry W. Nelson, Mary Virginia Goodman, Philip Perkins, Jessie W. Kohl, Carol W. Kimball, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bucklyn, the 1867 bank in Old Mystic was purchased from Stonington to form a reference library to make Mrs. Eva Butler's collections accessible to the pubic. With a $2,000 grant from the Bodenwein Public Benevolent Foundation and volunteers like Sanford Meech and those already listed, the bank was made ready for use as the Indian and Colonial Research Center [ICRC]. President Joan Cohn greeted guests and the Board of Directors when ICRC celebrated its first quarter of a century on August 25, 1990.
