"Don't throw it away, in Danbury it should stay." We are always happy to consider your Danbury-related items for our collection.

Hats, hat boxes, quilts, costumes, toys, books, photographs, documents and postcards that are related to Danbury are among the things we accept. 

If you are clearing out an old house or you have items that you'd perhaps  like to donate, please call the museum or send an email to m.amundsen@danbury-ct.gov. Our Collecting Policy and other important donor-related documents are downloadable at the link below.
