Stamford History Center

Stamford History Center Vision: The Stamford History Center is dedicated to preserving regional history and our varied cultural heritage.

The Stamford History Center, the municipal historian of Stamford, is an educational and research institution whose primary functions are to collect, conserve, interpret, and share artifacts and information relating to greater Stamford, to engage citizens in the telling of their stories. We provide opportunities for our community to understand and experience the past through our library, the presen

tation of exhibits and displays, lectures, demonstrations, special events, participatory programs, and tours of the unique Hoyt-Barnum House, built in 1699.
