Welcome to a journey into our past . . . In May 1788, by resolution
of the Connecticut General Assembly, the Parish of Newbury was established from
land taken from Newtown, New Milford and Danbury in 1752. The parish was given
town status and renamed Brookfield. Over the next 200 plus years, the
town metamorphosed several times to become the friendly community we now enjoy.
The Brookfield Museum and Historical Society, founded in 1968, is the only organization in town whose purpose is to preserve Brookfield history. We believe that significant facts, documents, and artifacts must be preserved, documented and made a part of Brookfield's permanent heritage. Thus the purpose of the Brookfield Museum and Historical Society is to collect the history of Brookfield and make it available, educational and interesting to all. In May 2001, the
Brookfield Museum and Historical Society went on-line in an attempt to reach out
to our friends and neighbors using technology Enjoy the experience!

The Brookfield Museum and Historical Society is very appreciative of the support
it has received from the Albert W. and Helen C. Meserve Memorial Fund.
