b61ce40a-21de-4b21-bef2-753acd0ff2c4 How & What to Get Inspected Windsor requires inspections for many aspects of construction including electric, gas & plumbing, and various health related activities such as septic and water. Many of these inspections are described in the town Zoning Bylaws. Click here for contact Information for building, electric, gas & plumbing, and conservation inspectors.. Septic System Requirements Essentially all homes in Windsor have septic systems. Massachusetts Title 5 rules [site] specify how to install, use, and maintain these systems. It is the policy of the Windsor Board of Health that all Title 5 septic system inspections must be witnessed by an agent of the Board of Health. Contact the Berkshire Public Health Alliance to schedule a witness by emailing inspectors@berkshireplanning.org or or 413-684-3811 ext 7. Perc Requirements There are two components of septic system design: soil evaluation and actual design. Soil evaluation consists of noting where your property lines may be so that test holes can be dug. These holes will locate your soil absorption system, which handles the fluid part of septic wastes. This step also includes actually digging the test holes with a backhoe and performing a soil examination and percolation test ("perc"). More info at the Massachusetts Title 5 description for homeowners [site]. Perc Witness requests, T5 witness requests and installation inspection requests should all go through inspectors@berkshireplanning.org or 413-684-3811 ext 7.

bd53184a-7ff6-414a-b823-51fb14ff919f Town Song Windsor Now and Then A song written by the late Ed Kohn Two hundred years and more we’ve been A town gone through hard times and then We’ve raised our heads up high again Like a Phoenix on the rise. When the logging days had come and gone And the tanning mills had all moved on And the Ball Bridge Works closed down We turned to what we had. Chorus: From Windsor Jambs to Estes (Sangar’s) Store This little town is steeped in lore; If you don’t know what a community’s for Then Windsor’s not your style. Hiking trails and Christmas trees Maple sap and a summer breeze Baseball games, cross country skis Is what we have today. But a town’s not made of bricks and stones Not even trees nor roads nor homes It’s made of muscle, skin, and bones And the love of folks like you.

The work of the Commission is supported primarily by volunteer fundraising with additional support from the town. Donations from individuals to support the work of preserving the town's history are welcome and appreciated.

The materials are currently housed in several places, including the Historical House Museum (a town-owned building located next to the church on Route 9) and upstairs in the Town Hall. Since the museum does not have heat or water, it is open to the public periodically during the warmer months. The Commission is currently working on repairs and upkeep of the museum building, which houses a distinctive collection of dioramas depicting places and activities from the town's past, including stores, sawmills, factories, and other industries that are no longer in existence. The Commission has also begun to digitize the archival collections, including town publications, genealogical materials, and newspaper articles. The Commission holds an annual fall festival fundraiser and open house and invites speakers to share knowledge of various aspects of Windsor's history. Related Services
