It’s a wonderful museum filled with such great history that I never about it! The staff were so helpful and wonderful. They handled an emergency we had there with such kindness, professionalism, and patience. Hannah, Cynthia, and the security guard (I didn’t get her name) were top notch! I would recommend any history lover to come discover this gem in downtown New Haven!
1831 Yale had an opportunity to establish the 1st HBCU in New Haven, but didn't!

A hidden gem in New Haven. Formerly the New Haven Historical Society, this museum has an extensive library and collection of historic New Haven artifacts. We were fortunate to come on a day when they had a special hands on tutorial for researching building/house history. Such fun to take a step back in time. Upstairs, they even had a display of the 1980s artist squatter culture in the city's derelict watch factory. Will absolutely come back and keep eyes open for more free events and opportunities.
A really interesting museum if you like local history. The tickets for students are $2 and only $4 for adults. It's small but there is a lot of information.
It's always nice to check out the local museum and this one was no exception. It's fun, expansive, and very affordable, go check it out.
It to me is what a museum is. The history going as far back as the 1600's was great. The artifacts were incredible.
I enjoyed the museum. The early history of New Haven exhibit was very interesting. I also enjoyed the Quantum Mechanics exhibit and the Cinque exhibit, in particular.
Great place, you definitely should visit here you can get more familiar with hew haven history :)
