A Day in 1762 - Celebrating 39 Years



Only NINE available dates left for April and May of 2020

The Derby Historical Society is currently booking class field trips for our 39th season of "A Day in 1762". Are you a teacher looking for the most fun and culturally enriching field trip in Connecticut? Look no further - we would
like to book your date for a field trip to the General David Humphreys House located at 37 Elm St. in Ansonia.

New to 2020, is a video experience titled “Lt. Colonel Humphreys… In His Words.” 

This new and exciting DVD will be offered to all of the visiting schools as supplemental curriculum at no additional cost! The video is a fast forward to 20-years later in 1782 detailing events that led to Humphreys becoming aide-de-camp to General Washington. 

A free DVD will be given for teachers to share with their class after visiting "A Day in 1762".

Available dates are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Classes are filling up quickly, and we don't want your students to miss out on this wonderful learning experience!

Thank you for your support!
