 The education of youngsters is a cornerstone of the traditional mission of the Madison Historical Society. For many years, schoolchildren have filled the Allis-Bushnell House during the spring months to gather insights into the cultural history and lifeways of shoreline inhabitants in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Our collections of tools, household implements, costumes, and toys provide strong links to the Connecticut State social studies curricula.
Currently under exciting redevelopment, our children’s programs will soon be expanding to include learning opportunities and activities throughout the year.
The Connecticut Humanities Council recently awarded the Madison Historical Society an Interpretive Planning Grant, which will allow us to develop new community-oriented programming for learners of all ages. Our goal is to design creative, interactive education events that encourage families and groups of children to discover history together. Through history-centered workshops, book talks, participation in annual festivals, and indoor and outdoor themed tours, we hope to ensure that both children and accompanying adults can enjoy meaningful educational experiences.
Check this page in the coming months to discover what we have planned!
