The Humeston Hall Gallery

The Humeston Hall Gallery
Starts at 1:00 PM

After five years of restoration, the gallery has been remodeled as an exhibit space.

Showcased are the Indigenous People who lived and worked the land, the development of our agricultural roots, the establishment of the railroad, and on through early businesses, trades, and industries. The exhibit space is filled with impressive pictures and artifacts, brought out of storage after many years. Special features will include The Great Fire of 1902, farms still operating today, military memorabilia, and intriguing New Milford characters. The exhibits have been mounted with respect, extensive research, and a passion to preserve the history of this beautiful town. 

 

The exhibit will open to the public beginning on March 28, 2023. Admission is free for members and $5.00 per person for non members.
