"In that portion east of Main Street and west of the Town Hill Ridge there was a rather considerable swamp. We are pretty confident that the swamp must have been a prominent feature in the topography, from the fact that the first settlers set their heart upon calling their town Swampfield..." 

--James Montgomery Bailey, History of Danbury, Conn 1684-1896.

The Danbury Museum is eager to invite you--and your family and friends!--to the inaugural Swampfield Social. The "Social" is a family friendly luncheon with great storytelling by Brigid Guertin (Danbury Museum Executive Director and Danbury City Historian); Bill Devlin (Danbury historian and writer); John O'Donnell (researcher, genealogist, and local history enthusiast; and maybe a couple of surprise guests!

What's all involved in the inaugural Swampfield Social? 

Well...

This is a friend and fundraiser for the Danbury Museum, a local celebration of all things Danbury! 

Where and when? 

The Swampfield Social will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the Amber Room Colonnade (1 Stacey Road, Danbury, CT 06811) from 12 - 2:30 pm. 

Where do I get tickets?

You can purchase your tickets below, via PayPal, or you can drop off a check or pay by credit card at the Danbury Museum, Wednesday through Saturday, from 12-4. There are NO tickets available at the door. 

Your ticket purchase includes: a signature cocktail or mocktail, crudités, a buffet luncheon (with shrimp, chicken, and pasta options) and a dessert buffet with coffee and tea, plus a cash bar. We'll also have a raffle with fabulous local prizes from around Danbury as well as a 50/50 drawing. 

What is the dress code for the Swampfield Social? Think country club and garden party chic, summer linens and florals, khakis and collared shirts.

We hope we'll see you--and some of your friends--at the Swampfield Social!
