Shelton Historical Society invites public to view repaired Brownson House

At Connecticut Open House Day Saturday

SHELTON - In mid-May, the Shelton Historical Society unveiled its newly repaired and reinterpreted Brownson House on the grounds of Shelton History Center to more than 100 invited guests and members. 
Now everyone is welcome to see the changes this Saturday during Connecticut Open House Day from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. 
This event is free and open to the public.

In late October 2015, the Shelton Historical Society suffered severe water damage to the Brownson House.  
The house was closed to the public during 2016 and as soon as initial repairs were completed, work progressed on a long-term project while the house was closed to install 

furnishings, wallpaper, lace curtains, and carpeting appropriate to the early 1900s.  
Although the house was built c.1822, it has been furnished to demonstrate how a middle-class farm family coped 

with the rapidly changing society of the early 1900s.    

Other buildings on the grounds, which include the 1872 Trap Fall School and the Wilson Barn, built c. 1860, will be open for viewing as well.  

For additional information, call 203-925-1803, visit www.sheltonhistoricalsociety.org, or see the Facebook page.
