The Fairfield Museum believes in the power of the arts and the humanities to inspire imagination, stimulate thought, and transform society. Through dynamic programs and exhibitions, the Fairfield Museum sparks dialogue, inspires meaningful collaborations, and deliberates the challenges of the future. Central to our community-focused mission is a desire to provide important historical context to pressing issues of our time, and to offer a safe, trustworthy environment where multiple perspectives can be heard and collective solutions explored. 

We are a vibrant nexus of community life that welcomes more than 35,000 visitors annually, a focal point of civic pride, a prominent center for the study of arts and humanities, and an award-winning institution of statewide renown. We preserve rare manuscript and artifact collections, maintain an eighteenth-century historic home, and operate five Town-owned historic properties. The Museum’s research library is among the best resources for Connecticut history in the state, used by hundreds of students, scholars and researchers each year.

Our Mission is to inspire civic engagement by celebrating the diverse history of our region and its people. As a dynamic public forum, we believe in the power of art and humanities to inspire the imagination, stimulate ideas, and build a better society.
