The Wood Memorial Library is an iconic location in South Windsor.
Located on Main Street, the Library is a historical landmark that holds the Nowashe Village, Aviary, and during the most magical time of the year; the Gingerbread Festival!
The festival is run by The Friends of The Wood Memorial Library and is one of the Library's biggest fundraising events.

All ages and abilities are welcome to enjoy the houses, a scavenger hunt, and browse the products of local crafters that are being sold throughout the event.
