On September 11, 1958 a handful of interested residents formed the first Old Saybrook Historical Society. Their concern that the oldest town on the shoreline had “many valuable records, diaries, letters that had already been lost, scattered, or destroyed and that there should be no further delay in making a start toward collecting and saving what is still available.”
We are a non-profit, all volunteer, tax-exempt organization with over 350 members from across the USA whose mission is to investigate, preserve and maintain collections in archeology, furniture, genealogy, and historic records of the Town of Old Saybrook while encouraging the study and appreciation of this historical heritage -especially by the young people of the area.
The restored General William Hart House (1767), Frank Stevenson Archives, and the historic gardens comprise a one-acre “campus” in the village that is home to the Society.
General William Hart House: open Sat and Sun 1 to 4 until Aug 29th. except Aug. 15th or by appt
Archives Building open Wednesdays & Thursdays 9:00 AM - 12:00 and Sat or by appointment
