The Watertown History Museum, formerly known as the Watertown Historical Society, has been dedicated to preserving the rich history of Watertown, Connecticut since 1945. Settled in 1701, this area, originally known as Wooster-Westbury, was incorporated as the Town of Watertown in 1780. The museum showcases a vast collection of documents and artifacts that illustrate the town's expansion in all districts, including Oakville, Guernseytown, Winnemaug, and Linkfield.
After years of storage, the museum has recently opened its new home at 401 Main Street, welcoming visitors and guests to explore the fascinating history of Watertown. With a primary goal of preserving the town's heritage, the museum offers research services and digital collections, providing valuable resources for those interested in delving into Watertown's past.
