Celebrating 76 years... 1944-2020The Torrington Historical Society builds a sense of community and a foundation for the future through the preservation and understanding of our shared past.
We do this primarily through the preservation of the Hotchkiss-Fyler estate, located at 192 Main Street in downtown Torrington, CT. The estate consists of the John H. Thompson Memorial Research Library, the Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum and the Torrington History Museum as well as preserving the John Brown Birthplace site. Covid-19 Update
The permanent exhibit of Torrington's history is now open Thursday and Friday from 12-4 pm and on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month form 12-4 pm. Covid-19 protocols apply. You can reserve your exclusive one hour time slot by calling 860-482-8260 or by email through torringtonhistorical@snet.net. For the safety of our patrons and staff, the Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum, and the library & archives will be closed to the public until further notice. Please stay safe and well.
