The Museum’s extensive collections include clothing and textiles, pewter, art, architecture and documents. These collections have been built over 130 years by the generous donations of New Canaan residents. While some are on permanent display, others are shown in exhibitions or put out temporarily in the Library display cases so that there is always something new to experience.
Charlie Miller’s illustrations, the Taggart Family archives, sermons by Reverend Noyes delivered at the Congregational Church, early Edison light bulbs, mid-century modern architectural models, more than 100 wedding dresses – the list of collections is long, varied, and infinitely interesting. At this stage, the artifacts are not digitized. However, if something is of particular interest, please let us know and we can make arrangements for you to see it.
