Welcome!
The Danbury Museum is located at 43 Main Street in Danbury, Connecticut.
Our campus has 4 historic buildings, an exhibit hall with a research library/archive, and we represent more than 300 years of history.
We offer guided tours of the 4 historic buildings on our campus and of the Charles Ives Birthplace. Tours are booked via Eventbrite. Advance registration is appreciated, as tours are kept intentionally small. Walk-ins are welcome and will be accommodated as long as there is space available. Additionally, we facilitate onsite staff-assisted research appointments Wednesday through Saturday, and those appointments must be booked in advance as well.
Please note that the main level of the John & Mary Rider House is wheelchair accessible. The Marian Anderson Studio is also wheelchair accessible as are the research library/archive and exhibit space in Huntington Hall.
