The Collection

Don't miss our unique view of New Milford's History

we're more than just a historical society!

The New Milford Historical Society & Museum Collection is well over 8,000 items, about 3,000 of which are electronically catalogued, and accessible here, online. The Society Collection also includes three, one-room schoolhouses and the 252 year old Knapp House.
To use our interactive timeline of New Milford's history, click here.

We do provide directed genealogy services through our records. Initial preliminary research is free. This is a simple search of a family name or other initial searches of documents or items. This first half hour is strictly for us to identify what we hold that relates to your ancestor.
Before we proceed past that initial review, we will contact you with an estimate of additional hours and a summary of what we hold. We do charge a small fee for creating digital scans of our holdings for you.
Copies 25 cents per copy
Digital scans 50 cents per copy
Members receive five free copies of either format
Use the form below to make your request!
btw- the first half hour is free for members, and they get a reduced rate on additional search hours!
