Local museum gets busy online

Although the Danbury Museum and Historical Society remains closed, many of its contents have been made available online, including puzzles, activities, newsletters, Bailey’s History Danbury, and pamphlets.

Three family activities are online currently. They include Danbury Museum in Streets Map. This is a map of 34 local historic sites along the walking tour “Museum in the Streets.”

An Ives Trail map may be downloaded. This brochure displays information about Charles Ives hometown and the Housatonic Valley region.

To celebrate National Library Week, the museum and Danbury Library have posted 12 pictures of the neighborhood around Danbury Library’s Main Street location, capturing how it has changed over the last 150 years.

The museum is also posting 12 Danbury-related puzzles, ranging from museum buzzwords, street name, Rev War, parks, and word searches, to history, cryptograms, and a Danbury fair crossword.

Five Tri-centennial pamphlets depicting Danbury's past can be downloaded, along with Bailey’s History of Danbury.

Three backgrounds for video calling tool Zoom are also available for download too, depicting the Danbury Fair, Danbury Fair postcard and Vintage Danbury at Night. People can use Zoom for family picture backgrounds, and then perhaps even send them off to Print companies for Calendars with a difference.

All activities and information can be downloaded in .pdf form from the Danbury Museum #MuseumFromHome Twitter hashtag. New content is published on Friday evenings.
