Madison Historical Society Holding Open House


MADISON

The Madison Historical Society will welcome visitors to its historic house museum, the Allis-Bushnell House, 853 Boston Post Road, Madison, on Saturday, June 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of Connecticut Open House Day, an annual event held on the second Saturday of June. Open House Day is a state-wide effort to inspire Connecticut residents to learn about all the experiences available in their own backyards, and many museums, historical sites, and cultural institutions offer free admission on this special day.

The Allis-Bushnell House was once home to members of Madison’s prominent Bushnell and Scranton families. Built in 1785, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the guided tour or simply wander through the house’s first-floor rooms at their leisure. The Society will also provide entertainment in the form of a scavenger hunt for historical objects. Light refreshments will be served.

No advance registration is required, and admission is free. For more information, visit madisonhistory.org or call 203-245-4567.
