New Canaan Historical Society

New Canaan Historical Society (also referred to as New Canaan Museum and Historical Society) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which was originally formed in 1889 (incorporated 1893) to "bring together the genealogies of the families who have lived in the town, to form a library and collect relicts and curiosities, to form a museum". Today, the society is headquartered at the John Rogers Studio and is dedicated on preserving history as well as organizing educational events.
