	INTRODUCTION
	The Mansfield Historical Society, founded in 1957, preserves and interprets over 300 years of Mansfield history through exhibits, programs, research and publications. Located at 954 Storrs Road (Route 195), about one mile south of the University of Connecticut campus, the Society maintains a museum and research library in the former Town Office Building and the adjacent Old Town Hall, built in 1843.             Entrance to the Mansfield Historical Society's Museum on Storrs Road. ©2007 — All Rights Reserved   The museum presents annually changing exhibits and has an active educational outreach program. Our collection is comprised of over 7,000 artifacts — including some 3,000 photographs, furniture, decorative arts, costumes, tools, and materials relating to local industries and agriculture. The Mansfield Historical Society is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, supported by our members and our endowment, with additional grant funding. We have one staff person and an Executive Council elected each September by our membership. Dedicated volunteers help to maintain our museum and its collections, prepare exhibits, provide tours, and assist in staffing the museum during its open season. We hold regular meetings, publish a newsletter, and offer public programs several times a year. Our Society has an active Research & Publications Committee and has produced thirteen publications to date. We have received numerous awards of merit and other recognitions for our publications and efforts in promoting interest in local history. We invite you to join our Society!
