Mattatuck Museum of Mattatuck Historical Society

Anne and I recently attended a charity event at the museum. Before this event, I had not heard of this museum and was very happy that we attended. On the outside, there is not much other than the name but as they say, it’s the inside that matters.
Upon walking in we were pleasantly surprised with what I call modern art. Every wall has something different to view and I suggest taking your time looking at each one.
Walking through the main level, you can see some of the history that you are presented with. Showing the history of different times in Connecticut history and locations of happenings around the state.
As you continue around the main floor, there are puzzles and options for hands on experience with different items. I always enjoy the hands on experience because it helps with remembering your experience in the museum.
There is a 2^nd floor where some additional art was presented. This was a very cool area and I believe I enjoyed this the most; seeing the history and the paintings on the walls. It is a small collection but worth the time.
I would definitely like to go visit again and see what exhibits they have in the future.

The Mattatuck Museum is a great spot to appreciate both locally– and nationally-​renowned American art and to learn about the history and culture of decades past in the Waterbury area and beyond. The Alexander Calder mobile on the upper level is a favorite of mine. I have visited multiple times and have never been disappointed!
