The improved web site was made possible by a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Middlesex County and a CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant administered by CT Humanities with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) from the Connecticut State Legislature.
The revised site allows the Haddam Historical Society to share inspiring stories, local landmarks, and highlights from our extensive collections. It is now easy to become a member, sign up to volunteer, and learn about upcoming events and programs. Visit www.haddamhistory.org to learn more about Haddam’s fascinating past that makes the community unique.
