What a difference a month makes! We have exciting news regarding our re-opening schedule and we’re looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Beginning June 30, Elaine Lagarto’s delightful The Fair That John Built exhibit will be open to the public and FREE in Huntington Hall! No appointment needed, Huntington Hall’s exhibit space will be open Wednesday through Saturday, 12-4. 

We’ll have tours of our historic buildings and research spots available by appointment, also starting on June 30, with availability Wednesday through Saturday, from 12-4. Research appointments and guided tours of the four historic buildings on our Main Street campus can be pre-booked, at no cost, via our Eventbrite ticketing page. 

Please note there will be no walk-in research or tours. All appointments will require 48 hrs notice. This timing will allow us to carefully have tours in our historic buildings as well as safely have researchers in the archive office and time to clean in between guests.

For the safety of our community, following city, state and museum organizational guidance, all staff, volunteers, and visitors to the Danbury Museum are required to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth and practice social distancing while inside the building.

And that’s not all! Our summer read-along is up outside, featuring The Great Danbury Fair A-Z by Theresa Buzaid and we have a new outdoor walking tour of our historic buildings for visitors to enjoy 7 days a week. 

While we won't be holding an indoor programs for the summer, look forward to announcements regarding BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) outdoor events in July and August.

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!

Please note: There is no photography or videography allowed on the sites operated by the Danbury Museum.

The Danbury Museum is happy to make arrangements for visitors to photograph and conduct videography, by appointment, inside our historic structures and, also by appointment, outside on museum grounds at the discretion of the Executive Director.

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.
