FEATURED EVENTS

Explore historic properties and try hands-on activities on the Museum Commons. More than 400 years of diverse stories can be found in the Victorian Barn, Sun Tavern, and Victorian Cottage, which has a dedicated early childhood space.

Rhythm of the River examines the Connecticut River and its surrounding valley as an acoustic space, exploring both the sounds of human life along the River and the natural sounds of the River and its wildlife. The story of these rhythms is expressed through original art, photographs, sheet music, sound recordings, and more. Explore displays of musical instruments and other objects, such as steam whistles and dinner chimes that were used on the luxurious steamboats which took passengers on excursions up and down the River.
