Danbury Museum and Historical Society

The Danbury Museum and Historical Society encompasses five historical buildings in downtown Danbury, including Huntington Hall with exhibition spaces and research facilities.

Since 1941, the institution has maintained collections documenting Danbury's development, including artifacts from its substantial hat manufacturing industry and colonial period items.

The museum holds regular exhibitions, educational programs, and maintains one of Connecticut's oldest quilt collections alongside extensive archives of newspapers and personal correspondence.

Visitors can explore the museum exhibits and buildings through guided tours on Fridays and Saturdays, with research services available by appointment from Wednesday through Saturday.

The property features historical medicinal gardens and formal landscaped areas that remain accessible to the public from sunrise to sunset throughout the year.
