WelcomeThe 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 including the Hendey Machne shop exhibit will re-open this year on April 14th. Hours will be Wednesday through Saturday from 12-4 pm. Covid-19 protocols such as masking and social distancing will apply. For the safety of our patrons and staff, the Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum, and the Thompson library & archives will be closed to the public until later this year. Please stay safe and well. Send your questions and research inquires to torringtonhistorical@snet.net . Torrington Together 2020/21
Documenting our community’s experiences during the COVID-19 Pandemic The Museum’s Torrington Together 2020 initiative is designed to capture the experiences of the Torrington community as we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic together. Please help us to build this digital archive. |
