Visitors who would like to know a little more about the historic town of East Haddam should set aside an hour or two to visit the East Haddam Historical Society Museum. Although the museum is quite small it is packed with interesting information about the history of East Haddam and the rise and fall of the town’s fortunes during the Industrial Age. Of special mention are two photographic displays documenting the Industrial Age and the building of the town’s famous East Haddam Swing Bridge. Those interested in Native American history will find a large collection of objects and artifacts dating back to the 1300’s. The museum is very child-friendly and is suitable for the whole family.
