Summer Open House at the Wilton Historical Society
Thursday, June 25 | 2:00 – 5:00 pm
Kick off the summer season with an afternoon of history, hands-on activities, and family-friendly fun at the Wilton Historical Society’s Summer Open House! This special event invites visitors of all ages to explore the past through live demonstrations, interactive experiences, and a lively outdoor atmosphere.
Throughout the afternoon, skilled demonstrators will bring traditional trades to life. Watch spinning and weaving in action, see the art of blacksmithing up close, and learn about colonial medicine practices. Visitors can engage with these demonstrators and gain a deeper appreciation for early American life.
History will come to life as the reenactment group, the CT 5th Regiment, sets up an authentic encampment on the grounds. Guests can explore the camp, interact with reenactors, and discover what daily life was like for Revolutionary War soldiers.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, a complimentary ice cream will be on-site serving free refreshments for all guests, making this a perfect outing for families, friends, and anyone looking to enjoy a summer afternoon filled with history!
Admission is free.
No registration required. Just stop by and join us for this engaging and educational community event.
We look forward to welcoming you!
