Derby Historical Society Partners with local Stop & Shop

Derby Historical Society Participating in Stop & Shop Giving Tag Program

The Derby Historical Society, a non-profit committed to serving the towns of Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, & Shelton, has begun generating donations through the Stop & Shop Giving Tag Program.

The Stop & Shop Giving Tag Program, which launched in May 2019, is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work. When a shopper purchases the $2.50 reusable Community Bag at any Stop & Shop store, they have the opportunity to direct a $1 donation to a local non-profit by using the attached Giving Tag. The Derby Historical Society has already begun generating donations through the use of the Giving Tag. For more information on the Stop & Shop Giving Tag Program, visit stopandshop.bags4mycause.com.

Located in Ansonia, CT. and founded in 1946, the Derby Historical Society has over 500 members from all over the United States. The David Humphreys House is a working museum and we support and consult numerous municipal agencies in the cities and towns we serve, as well as the general public. The David Humphreys House comes alive with students role-playing the identities of actual children who lived in 1762, as they learn how to weave, spin, and prepare lunch on an open hearth. Our programs use a hands-on approach to learning, giving students an opportunity to immerse themselves in our nation's history.
