The Simsbury
Historical Society is a non-profit educational corporation founded in
1911 through a bequest of Abbie Sexton Barber to begin a “Historical Room” in
Simsbury. The Society’s first and current permanent home was
acquired in 1962 through the gift of the Phelps family household. Today, the
Simsbury Historical Society continues its stewardship of period and modern
buildings, artifact and manuscript collections, and special events and
workshops, which afford the public the opportunity to research and enjoy
Simsbury’s past and present. Learn more at www.simsburyhistory.org.
