Wethersfield Historical Society
About this place
Wethersfield Historical Society (WHS) is located in Connecticut’s “Most Ancient Town”. Old Wethersfield is the state’s oldest and largest historic district, with a fascinating and diverse history that includes over 150 structures built before 1850. It is also one of CT’s first cultural districts, a vibrant, active, and inclusive community where the history that happens every day is just as important. WHS operates the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center which is the town’s visitor center and includes the Wethersfield Museum with exhibitions of history and art as well as concerts, lectures, theatrical performances, and living history events. The Wethersfield Historical Society also maintains the Hurlbut-Dunham House Museum and the Cove Warehouse Maritime Museum. The society’s Old Academy Library contains an important archival collection and offers free assistance for genealogical and other researchers. The society’s website includes a searchable database of the Ancient Burying Ground as well as articles on local history.
