The Newtown Historical Society runs programming March through December. Open Houses at the Matthew Curtiss House on Main Street happen one Sunday a month.
Newtown is a lovely old town that celebrated its Tercentennial in 2005. While a lot of effort has been made by various organizations and individuals to keep Newtown a friendly and up-to-date community, it is also important to cherish and preserve its history.
The Newtown Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, receives no local, state or federal government support. We rely on financial support from individuals’ donations and bequests, annual fund raisers such as our antiques show, house and garden tour and appraisals day as well as publication sales to generate the income needed to fund our activities and maintain the Matthew Curtiss house museum.
