Stamford History Center
1508 High Ridge Road
Stamford, CT 06903 US

Stamford from Pioneer Settlement to Agrarian Town, Stamford History Center’s latest exhibit traces the history of Stamford from its establishment in 1641 until 1820. The latter year Darien hived off Stamford to become a separate town, leaving Stamford with the same borders it has today. The exhibit includes information and artifacts from the indigenous communities from whom the land was purchased. Items from early Colonial life are featured in the hallway that reflect the probate inventory of an early settler killed by a local Siwanoy in 1648.

The exhibit traces the development of local churches, schools and government. Stamford’s role in the Revolutionary War is presented along with a large number of items recovered from excavations at Fort Stamford, built 1781. The exhibit also present short biographies of many of the key players of this earlier era. Items in cases reflect the items that would have served both upper and lower class people during the time. The Bell Bible from the 1640’s will be shown for the first time in many years.

The exhibit will be on view thru at least thru 4th of July, 2026.
Admission is free for SHC Members.
