We Want More History!--CANCELED 

This event is canceled due to the impending storm and the safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Saturday, September 26, 2026

The Prudence Crandall Museum will be open with free admission for self-guided tours and activities for We Want More History!, a new national day of history in public founded by the Organization of American Historians (OHA).  All ages are encouraged to participate in either a scavenger hunt or bingo card inside the museum and a community banner art activity outside by the Peace Garden with Shine Your Light CT (shineyourlightct.org).  For more information: crandall.museum@ct.gov or 860-546-7800.  Please Note: parking is at the Helen Baldwin Middle School on 9/26, with a shuttle providing service to the Town Green (the museum is directly across from the Town Green).

 

National Cat Day

Monday, October 26, 2026

Last day museum is open for the season

Free admission to a Prudence Crandall Museum tour with donation of unopened cat food (wet or dry, any brand/any flavor), brand-new cat toys and supplies (not accepting litter-related items at this time), or paper towels and garbage bags.  All items will be donated to the Paws Cat Shelter, a no-kill shelter in Putnam, CT.  In recognition of violence perpetuated against women, children, and animals, the museum honors National Cat Day by collecting food and supplies to keep our feline friends safe.
