Synopsis
Settled in 1734, Bethlehem is a typical Litchfield hill town and retains much of its rural charm. Around its green are an old post tavern at the Woodward House, two historic churches, and the Bellamy-Ferriday House and Garden. Rev. Joseph Bellamy came to Bethlehem in 1738 and stayed to establish the first theological school in the country, educating Aaron Burr, James Morris, and later John C. Calhoun. In 1938, postmaster Earl Johnson designed a rubber stamp to adorn cards sent from the post office attached to his family’s general store. This first cachet became an annual project and established Bethlehem as “the Christmas town.” In 1946, two Benedictine nuns came to stay with artist Lauren Ford while establishing the Abbey of Regina Laudis in a factory donated by local businessman Robert Leather. Every September for the last 85 years, the Bethlehem Fair has welcomed more than 60,000 people to apple pies and horse draws at its scenic fairgrounds.

Review
Title: Litchfield County Comprehensive
Publisher:The Register Citizen
Author: Staff Writer
Date: 9/6/09
The rich history of this picturesque town comes alive in the new book titled “Bethlehem,” published by Arcadia Press.
“We think you have an interesting town, interesting enough to do the book if you have the photos,” the publisher told Carol Ann Brown, president of the Old Bethlem Historical Society and author of the book.
A lot of the caption information in the book was gathered by different people at different times, Brown said. She was fortunate to have access to the files of the First Church of Bethlehem, which were kept by resident Rena Waite, a historian and recorder of town history at the First Church and a member of the historical society.
Copies of the book, which has a retail price of $21.99, will be sold at the Bethlehem Fair on Sept. 11, 12 and 13, and it is available in area bookstores. For more information, visit www.arcadiapublishing.com.
