Celebrating 75 Years!
"This homestead can ever be a reminder of the quality of our fathers lives. This building, was built to remind us that 'what is excellent is permanent.' This building was built, not for the opportune moment but for the years. You can see, this homestead was built for generation after generation." - Aaron C. Coburn, headmaster of The Wooster School.
Please consider making a donation today in honor of our 75th anniversary -- Happy Birthday Danbury Museum! Your gift will help to establish an endowment fund so that The Danbury Museum may continue its mission for generations to come.
Thank you, as always, for your continued and generous support.
