310)   Portrait of Bertha Ullmann. - March 21, 2007
                 Ted Bachman has donated to the Barkhamsted Historical Society a high quality photographic copy of a pastel portrait of Bertha Ullmann.  The original work was done by artist Joanne Bachman of Pleasant Valley.  Bertha was a member of the Ullmann family that owned and operated the farm at what is now the main area of People's Forest.  Her childhood was spent in the house that we now call Squire's Tavern.  Born in 1906, Bertha was a long time Barkhamsted resident and daughter of Oswald and Ora Ullmann.  The portrait has been placed in the front kitchen of the Squire's Tavern.  Bertha has come home.
