As the cornerstone of the Derby Historical Society, the David Humphreys House in Ansonia serves as both a museum and as a hands-on classroom for our “Day in 1762” program; introducing schoolchildren to Derby’s Revolutionary War hero David Humphreys and the region’s colorful colonial past.
As you can imagine, a 300-year-old house requires quite a bit of upkeep.
We are currently in the process of raising $200,000 for a major restoration of the exterior of the building. We are close to completing Phase One of the restoration.

Did you know, back in 1657, Derby’s first permanent settler, Edward Wooster, was drawn to the Lower Naugatuck Valley on the quest of raising hops? Cheers to a great time for a great cause!
