Mission: to collect, archive, maintain and exhibit for the public manuscripts, pictures, objects, artifacts, memorabilia and items that reflect the history, culture and community of Stony Creek, Connecticut and the Thimble Islands. (Branford, CT)
The Stony Creek Museum celebrates the history of a small seaside village where European immigrants settled to quarry the famous pink granite used in the base of the Statue of Liberty and many Manhattan skyscrapers. The beautiful Thimble Islands offshore display a wonderful history of their own. A visit to the museum is an educational and enriching experience.
