New Milford Historical Society

The New Milford Historical Society and Museum was founded in 1915. Our campus includes a gallery with an attached historic house, the Knapp House, c. 1815, and the attached Boardman Store, c. 1793 and Litchfield County’s First Bank building, c. 1820. The museum collects, preserves and interprets objects and information of historical merit pertaining to the backgrounds of individuals and their way of life and customs.
