The Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center is dedicated to assisting visitors, students, and scholars in understanding significant lives and events during the site’s 300-year history, including their meaning for citizenship and culture now and in the future. We pursue this mission by preserving and protecting the museum’s physical and intellectual assets and sharing them with the widest possible audience, whether on our campus or through programs of outreach.

Step back into history and feel the past come alive when you visit the museum. Our museum interpreters will ensure that you enjoy your tour through each room setting, which accurately portrays life in rural Connecticut from the early 18th century to the mid 20th century. Its rooms are decorated with period furnishings and the exhibits are ever changing so as to fully display the Museum’s collection. They may even show you the cannonball that is still lodged in an outer wall of the museum!
