The Brooklyn Historical Society Museum, located in Brooklyn, CT, is a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts. With its expansion in 2007, the museum now occupies the entire first floor of the building behind the equestrian statue of General Israel Putnam. Visitors can explore permanent exhibits dedicated to Putnam's life and the creation of his monument, as well as a Special Exhibit Gallery showcasing diverse artifacts that tell the stories of Brooklyn and New England's past.
Owned by the society since 1972, the museum building and the Daniel Putnam Tyler Law Office Museum offer a glimpse into the town's rich history. The society's mission to preserve and showcase local history led to the restoration of the law office and the establishment of the museum. Through fundraising efforts and grants, the society was able to retire the mortgage on the museum building and create a space where exhibits can now tell the stories of Brooklyn's past.
