Third grade students visit the Museum! - June 4, 2026
80 third grade students from East Haddam Elementary School visited the Museum on June 4th. The visit focused on 3 exhibits related to America 250 -- Nathan Hale, Women & the Revolution, and the Turtle submarine. They also learned about the original construction of the East Haddam Bridge, and were amazed to learn that the very first person to cross the new bridge (with his oxen) was Todd Gelston! Not the Todd we know now, but his grandfather!
The students and their chaperones were so enthusiastic and had great questions about East Haddam's history!

Cub Scout Visit - March 23, 2022
A local cub scout meeting was held at the museum on 3/23/22. The scouts took a tour of the museum and then did a scavenger hunt with their parent. Marianne also weighed 5 at a time on the big mill scale and they all enjoyed playing with the claxon.
