Dear Friends,

There’s a lot to celebrate in 2012!

As the museum enters its 70th year of operation, we’re excited to kick it off with our ‘Locally Grown’ art exhibit. This event brings the Danbury Museum & Historical Society back to its beginnings in 1942 when we official began as The Danbury Historical Museum and Art Center. Take a look at our ‘Archive Archaeology’ blog (click on link above) to learn more about our early history.

We’d like to welcome all of our new and renewed members back for another year of exciting programs, educational opportunities and special events. Your support of the museum is greatly appreciated!

This year will bring an expansion of our Danbury Public School programs for all third and fifth graders and the launch of our summer exhibit ‘Covering All the Bases: A History of Baseball in Danbury.”

We look forward to welcoming all of you through our doors this year as we continue to celebrate Danbury history as a place ‘Where The Past is Always Present.’

Sincerely,

Brigid Guertin

Executive Director
