Take a guided tour of the award-winning Coley House, the only historic house in CT brought back to reflect life during the 1940s. Explore how the Coley family lived, worked and played while on the home front during World War II. Curious young minds can try their hands at dialing a rotary phone, typing on a typewriter, playing with 1940s toys and games, and building a house with Lincoln Logs.

In the Visitor’s Center, enjoy three engaging exhibits. Learn about the Weston Meteorite, the Flood of 1955 and other important Weston moments in the exhibit, “Twelve Stories of Weston History”. View haunting photos in the new exhibit, “Images of a Forgotten Village: Valley Forge”, which explores a Weston neighborhood now underneath the Saugatuck Reservoir. Have fun tapping your toes in our summer pop-up exhibit, “May I Have This Dance?”, which features Ragtime dance music, dance manuals, sheet music, dance cards and more from the private collection of social dance historian, Susan de Guardiola.

Stroll through the Daniel E. Offutt, III Sculpture Garden and explore the whimsical sculptures created by former Weston resident, philanthropist and artist, Daniel E. Offutt, III.
