This year’s conference focuses on how historical societies, history

Some of the sessions for the day include The Collaboration Conundrum by Lauren Miller

in collaboration with students and faculty from Central Connecticut State
University.  Other activities planned are
tours of the Mattatuck Museum’s collections storage area and exhibits, as well
as a walking tour of the Mattatuck Green.  
This is your chance to enjoy a wonderful learning experience, great
