What better place to learn about the rich history of the town of Cheshire than the Cheshire Historical Society? It is located within the Hitchcock Phillips House and is open to the public on Sunday afternoons. However, the curator is also happy to schedule special interest appointments and group tours.
Although hours are limited at the house, the historical society's website offers a great deal of information regarding its events and exhibits. Photos, videos, documents, and an informative video can be found there as well. Be sure to download the historical town map and then take the self-guided walk around downtown.
During winter hours, (Jan. - March) individuals interested in touring the house or using the society reference materials should call the curator at 203-272-8771 for an appointment. The volunteer staff is happy to accommodate visitors by appointment on either weekdays or weekends.
