Museum on the Green:
Because so many people who want to visit the Museum on the Green either work or go to school during our regular hours Monday & Thursday 10 AM – 4 PM we will be opening the Museum the third Sunday of each month, from 1:00- 4:00 PM. We already have some excellent volunteers for these openings but we need more. Anyone interested in manning the Museum on the Sundays mentioned please call Jim at the Museum
860-633-6890. |

Curatorial &
Library: Both
Curatorial and Library have data entry
needs, cataloging our collections into a
database known as "PastPerfect". We will
teach you the system. It is easy, and
this process enables students, family
genealogists, researchers and the
history loving public access our
collections (objects, books,
manuscripts, maps etc.). |
