Matthew Curtiss House Museum

Step back in time with a tour of Newtown’s very own house museum. We will have a “Parents Camp” consisting of two, two hour spinning wheel sessions for 4-5 adults while providing a children’s activity in another room, all within the 4 hour open house format. It should be lots of fun.

Tour of Sandy Hook

In conjunction with our Open House, Dan Cruson will be leading a one-hour walking tour of Sandy Hook. In addition to telling some fascinating stories of this section of Newtown, he will also be explaining some of the plans for creating a “Museum of the Streets” which will become a self-guided walking tour you can access at any time.

The tour will begin in front of the Matthew Curtiss House Museum at 1:00 pm and at its conclusion, Dan will bring everyone back the Matthew Curtiss House Museum to tour the house. Wear comfortable shoes. Refreshments will be served.
