About Ethel Miner Cooke

 Ethel (Miner) Cooke was a life member of the Rocky Hill Historical Society, where she established the library that was named in her honor, and where she served as town historian and researcher, a job she cherished for many years. 

Future Plans

Our long-range plan is to scan additional documents in our library and make many of those scans available on our website.  This will make the history of Rocky Hill more available to you from the comfort of your home.  If you are interested in this project and would like to help, you can volunteer by clicking here.
