Artistry and Architecture House Tour, Celebrating Haddam’s Entrepreneurial Spirit
On Saturday, October 5, 2019 the Haddam Historical Society will host Artistry and Architecture House Tour from 10 am to 4 pm. Visit six architecturally distinct properties in Haddam and Higganum which convey both past and present innovative creativity and resourcefulness. Visitors will tour a vineyard, pottery studio, painter’s oasis and the home of City Bench, which creates beautiful furniture from fallen trees. Also tour the home of former Broadway actors, now a religious retreat and the stunning Victorian residence of a contemporary author.
The tour will run from 10 am to 4 pm and tickets cost $25 in advance and $30 the day of the tour. The tour headquarters is the Haddam Old Town Hall at 21 Field Park Drive, Haddam where participants will pick up their programs and directions. A boxed lunch by the Wheatmarket in Chester is available the day of the tour for $15 and must be ordered in advance.

Looking for Criminals!
We are looking for a few good men and women to portray former inmates at our jail tour this fall on Saturday, October 19 and Saturday, October 26 from 1 pm to 4 pm. You can commit to both days or just one. We have forgers, drunks, a women bigamist and plenty more criminals to portray. Presentations are very short- 3 to 5 minutes. This was a very successful event last year and we look forward to sharing the history and stories of the jail with friends and visitors alike.
Please call or email Lisa Malloy at 860-345-2400 or director@haddamhistory.org if you are interested.
Haddam Neck Fair Volunteers
Labor Day Weekend- Saturday, August 31 to Monday, September 2, 2019.
Each year the Haddam Historical Society has an informational tent at the Haddam Neck Fair. We are looking for volunteers to help staff the booth.
Shifts are 2 hours long and start at 10 AM. This is a great opportunity to promote the organization and meet interesting people.
It is also a chance to come out and support a community event that has been in existence for over 100 years and has much to offer. There are still many agricultural elements including horse, cattle, poultry, and sheep to name a few. There are still competitions in flowers, vegetables, and baked goods. The baby show is still a big draw and the music is fantastic. If noise and motors are your thing there is the Street Stock Truck Pull and modified tractor pull. There is something for everyone.
For more information on the fair visit www.haddamneckfair.com
