We are in the process of compiling a photographic history of Middlebury and welcome any photographs or other historical items. We will be glad to scan them and return them to you or receive them as permanent additions to our collection.

The Society does not hold regular visiting hours, but you are welcome to visit the building by making an appointment with the President, Bob Rafford, at home at 203-758-9798 or his cell at 203-206-4717, or email him at robraff@sbcglobal.net

The members contribute time in collecting, organizing and displaying items of local interest. They sponsor guest speakers who cover a variety of topics such as local history, places and people. Special events include a Civil War Reenactment in March and the Society's annual open house in May following the Memorial Day Parade. New members are always welcome.
