Student/Educator History

Resources for Teachers & Students

On this page of resources we’ve included not only our beloved Danbury school “newspapers” (created for third graders but appropriate for students of other ages) but YouTube videos of 

re-enactors portraying Sybil Ludington, Maj General David Wooster, and a presentation on "Why Danbury" which showcases our role in the Revolutionary War. 


The Danbury History in Brief page covers additional themes (the 1955 floods, the Kohanza Dam disaster, etc.) in a short-form manner, and the Archive Resources page contains many downloadable subject files on topics from the Revolutionary War to the hatting industry to Marian Anderson's nearly 50 years as a Danbury resident. For more details on how to research at the Danbury Museum, please visit our Research page.
