Windsor Historical Society

welcome to the Windsor Historical Society

          Explore the Windsor Historical Society at the heart of Connecticut's oldest English settlement.

 

                          The Windsor Historical Society aims to inspire public awareness and appreciation of the diverse peoples, places and events that contribute to Windsor’s evolving history.  We preserve and interpret Windsor’s historical record through active collecting, research, exhibitions, programs and communications in the belief that an understanding of history can provide individuals and communities with connections to the past, a sense of belonging in the present, and responsibility for the future.

 

We will be closed on Friday and Saturday, July 3rd and 4th, in celebration of Independence Day.
