HISTORY OF LEBANON

In 1965, a group of Lebanon, CT residents met to organize a historical society. The following year, members planned and operated an outdoor antique show as a way to raise funds for a future museum building. In the mid-1990s with funds raised by the annual antique shows, donations from members and friends and the support of major donor Hugh Trumbull Adams, the Society purchased land and began construction of a modern museum building with galleries, a meeting room, offices, collections storage spaces, restrooms and an information center. The first exhibit opened to the public in 2000.
