Since
its inception at the end of the 19th century, the Acorn Club has
been devoted to the publication of books about Connecticut history, broadly
defined. These have included books and other publications that had long been out of print, monographs,
and collections of primary sources dealing with a common theme.
For many years, the club focused on works about the colonial and early national periods. But some of its recent books have dealt with later periods of the state’s history.
Its latest publication, Country Acres and Cul-d-sacs: Connecticut Circle Magazine Reimagines The Nutmeg State, 1938 - 1952 is the first to deal exclusively with a 20th century topic.
