The Sharon Historical Society & Museum collects, preserves, and shares the stories of Sharon, Connecticut. The Society was founded on January 20, 1911 by twenty-one residents of Sharon whose objective was “to collect and preserve in some suitable place such articles as may tend to illustrate the life and history of the early settlers of this region, and to create and foster an interest in local history and tradition.” Since 1911, the Society has developed into a museum with public programs and collections of historical artifacts.
