"Danbury: Reflections of a Nation in Change"

The Danbury Museum's summer exhibit, put together by eighth-grade students from Rogers Park and Broadview Middle Schools, is now open until the end of the summer!  This exhibit, located in Huntington Hall, was put together through the students' hard work and dedication and is a fun and educational way to experience the history of Danbury.


2006 Calendar

The new 2006 Museum calendars are on sale in our Museum Gift Shop! We have ordered a limited number of calendars this year and anticipate selling out by the end of November!

2005 is the 50th anniversary of the floods of 1955 which changed the face of Danbury's Main Street forever. 12 images of these historic events (both the August and October floods) are captured in this highly anticipated calendar. The calendars are $10 each.
