The Danbury Museum campus is located on the unceded land that was stewarded for generations, since the last ice age, by many Indigenous Peoples including the Schagticoke, Paugussett, Pootatuck, Weantinock, Wiechquaesgeck, Mohican, and Pequannock. Present day western Connecticut and the Housatonic Valley have been the site of travel, gatherings, and trade for numerous tribal peoples. This acknowledgement is an effort to honor and respect the relationship that exists between Native Peoples and their sacred lands; a relationship that should be honored and fostered by generations of people, from around the world, who have, built community and stewarded the land we now know as Danbury.

We'll begin by reciting the Declaration of Independence at 2 p.m., with a short speaking program to follow and then a patriotic sing-a-long.

The Danbury Museum is a limited public forum, which means that visitors, volunteers, and staff of the museum expect to have the right to visit and work at the museum undisturbed and in accordance with the purposes for which the museum was created and intended.
Our visitors, volunteers, and staff have an expectation of privacy, so please do not photograph or videotape
members of the community without their permission.
The Danbury Museum is funded 66% by the City of Danbury, but the other 34% must be raised by our volunteers and staff within each fiscal year.
Here's how you can help! Your donations will help us continue to maintain and care for our 7 Historic Buildings.
