Cub Scout Visit
The East Haddam Cub Scouts Pack 22, Wolf Den 3 visited the East Haddam Historical Society & Museum recently to learn more about our town. They were very interested in the Twine Mills exhibit freight scale and fish net loom, the Klaxon siren used at Goodspeed Landing, 1913 photos of building the East Haddam Bridge, and the Twentieth Century Moodus Architectural Model of proposed road changes and new buildings.
The Cubs made bridge models of their own after their tour. Their visit and discussion helped them accomplish the Cub Scouts' goal to learn more about their town.
Museum staff, parents, and Cubs enjoyed the evening tour. The Cubs plan to come back with their families to teach others about what they learned.

3rd Grade Visit - June 3, 2016
What a wonderful day third grade students had at the East Haddam Historical Society and Museum on June 3! Guided by docents Dr. Marianne Halpin , Lynne Meyer, Andrea Skwarek, and George Drenga, the kids explored different collections housed in the museum. Local agriculture, our well-known bridge, mills, the Victorian era, East Haddam sculptor Heinze Warneke, and William Gillette were among topics of interest classes investigated. It was quite a lot for 9-year-olds to absorb, but participating adults were amazed at the interest and focus their young guests displayed. Students were well-prepared to ask meaningful questions and provide prior knowledge to docents who chatted with them. Kids arrived and left the Museum enthusiastic about their experience. We can't wait to meet next year's class!
