I went to the museum at Danbury but it was close, but outside was very interesting, so I just think of the inside how beautiful it should be. Coronavirus stop everything now, hoping to go back soon. To view and look at adventure I have never seen. I think going back should be very nice. Looking forward to it.

The history part is nice, but there does not seem to be much effort to drive traffic to the location, and seems mostly a forgotten spot in downtown. My wife paid a lot to have a table there for the holiday craft sale, and did not even make the fee back, because there were almost no visitors. Could be much better with more marketing and new exhibits or regular events. The people are nice though.

Good Morning, I was happily employed here one summer, entering archives into the libraries card catalog, exceptionally, courteous staff, above and beyond practically achievable recognition, very useful research available including the Marion Anderson original studio a local hero, the first African American to be invited to perform at the Opera House, old schools, coupled with an intimidating portrait of the honorable George Washington, great, safe atmosphere for kids or adults looking to research. Volunteers needed for the general public interaction and communication, no experience necessary. , thanks

Although Danbury is well known for its hatting industry, this museum reveals more than just that. Experience the studio of Marian Anderson and walk the house of the Ryder family. Learn of Danburys role in the Revolutionary War and the story of one bad ass girl named Cybil. Overall, quick and informative tours that give you a glimpse of life in Danbury in the 1700s.

Best museum in Danbury. The gift shop has beautiful,hand made,high quality jewelry crafted from local artisans. Check out their tours on Saturday to see the Marion Anderson studio,and two other historical buildings right there on the main campus. Or join and become a member,participate in the yearly activities. Worth the visit!
