Ladies who attend are encouraged to wear their best chapeau; scones, sweets, and surprises will complete the afternoon.

Shelton History Center, owned and operated by Shelton Historical Society, is located at 70 Ripton Road and consists of six historic structures: The Brownson House, built in 1822 and interpreted as it appeared in 1913; the 1860 Wilson Barn, which houses an exhibit on the history of Shelton; the 1872 Trap Fall School, and three outbuildings.
The mission of the Shelton Historical Society is to preserve elements of the community's history in order to create lasting and meaningful connections between Shelton’s past, present and future generations through education, maintaining a museum with its collections, and providing a voice in the community regarding matters of historical significance. 

Volunteers are welcome, especially those who would enjoy presenting programs to the public or working on special events.
