Made up of five separate historic buildings, the Danbury Museum & Historical Society is a must-see for anyone interested in learning about the history of Danbury. Most of the museum's exhibits and displays can be found in Huntington Hall, which is open Tuesday through Saturday.

If you'd like to tour the other buildings, guided tours are usually offered on Saturdays. Visitors are also welcome to come to the Hat City Ball, a special fundraising event held every January. Tickets can be purchased online or at the museum, and admission includes an open bar, music, and plenty of food.
