New Haven Colony Historical Society, New Haven

This 1930s Georgian Revival building sets the stage for exhibits chronicling 350 years of New Haven history. The history of "The Elm City" unfolds in each room of this institution through fine art, furniture, genealogical records, everyday artifacts, and maritime displays. There are special exhibits drawn from the museum collection, such as a recent one on the Amistad incident: captured African slaves who went on trial in New Haven after they mutinied their slave ship.
