New Canaan Historical Society

Address: 13 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT 06840, USA

“Documenting the town’s past, the New Canaan Historical Society (founded 1889) owns or operates eight museums and historic buildings, most of which are located at the society’s campus on Oenoke Ridge. Of all the society’s properties, only the Little Red School House and the Gores Pavilion (more below) are off campus. At the main location you can check out exhibitions expertly curated from the society’s massive collections, and get a taste of life in New Canaan in days gone by at the Rock Schoolhouse (1799), Cody Drug Store (1845), the Town House (1825), the Hanford-Silliman House (c. 1764), the Rogers Sculpture Studio (1878) and the Tool Museum and Printing Office. The main exhibit in summer 2019 was “Shoes”, with 200 pairs helping to map out the shoemaking industry in New Canaan, which flourished for more than a century.”
