Spring 2021 Danbury Museum Re-Opening Plan

What are we doing at the DMHS to help move forward in the effort to re-open safely? 

  • We are getting vaccinated! That’s right, our staff, our boards, our volunteers are signing up and taking the shot(s). 
  • We are continuing to wear masks on campus both indoors and out and we are staying socially distant and hand washing and sanitizing over and over and over again! 
  • In the interest of protecting the high-risk populations we serve, and the high-risk populations who volunteer for us, the Danbury Museum is continuing to create high quality onsite outdoor programming. In fact, beginning in June, we have several more fun and educational outdoor exhibits planned--both on our Main Street campus and at locations throughout the downtown corridor! 
  • We are reimagining our events and programs to serve our community virtually, holding off on Huntington Hall rentals until we can reassess in September, and postponing interior historic house tours until the fall. 
  • Research requests will continue to be answered via email or phone chat. 
  • The museum is accepting donations of archival items and material related to Danbury history. Just call us first and we can pick up if you are local or meet in the driveway at the museum. 
  • If your community group has been meeting at the Danbury Museum we are happy to facilitate an outdoor meeting--you bring the chairs, we’ll provide the space, and even masks if you need them!  


We will continue to communicate any further impacts to the Danbury Museum as a result of  COVID-19. Our interest is to continue serving our community while maintaining the safety and health of our staff, volunteers, and public. We want, just as much as you do, a return to tours and programs inside our historic buildings. As we all work together to implement safety measures and get vaccinated, that seems a closer reality than ever!

 

In the meantime, as a reminder, the Danbury Museum has several social media platforms and has continued and will continue to supply a high volume of content over the next few months. If there are any changes to the museum schedule of reopening, they will be posted to social media and our museum website!

COVID-19 Update: March 2021

As you are aware, the State of CT has declared a public health emergency  in response to COVID-19.  


Due to current guidance from our state and local Health Departments, and in the  interest of protecting the high-risk populations we serve, and the high-risk populations who volunteer for us, the Danbury Museum is continuing to reschedule or cancel all programs, events, rentals, historic house tours, exhibition  viewings, and outreach activities through the end of March 2021.


 The Danbury Museum will not be accommodating onsite research.

 

If your community group has booked rental space at the Danbury Museum to meet, we will be in contact to reschedule. Our interest is to continue serving our community while maintaining the safety and health of our staff, volunteers, and public.


We will continue to communicate any further impacts to the Danbury  Museum as a result of  COVID-19. In the meantime, as a reminder, the Danbury Museum has several social media platforms and has continued and will continue to supply a high volume of content over the next few months.

Savings Bank of Danbury Partners with the Danbury Museum on Rehabilitating the Charles Ives Home to Celebrate Shared History

In honor of their 170th anniversary, the Savings Bank of Danbury will sponsor Phase III of the rehabilitation of the Charles Ives Home, an important piece of Danbury and the Bank’s history.


“This project is only possible because the Savings Bank of Danbury chose to tell the story of their history through our Danbury Museum,” said Brigid Guertin, Executive Director of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society.  “Their story is part of the history of Danbury and they continue to be a strong supporter and member of our community. The result of our efforts will be a world class destination that we can all be proud of.”
