Mattatuck Museum
Museum & Art Gallery in Waterbury, CT
The Mattatuck Museum was set up as the Mattatuck Historical Society in 1877 to preserve the history of that part of Connecticut anciently known as Mattatuck - roughly the ten town region surrounding present-day Waterbury. In the 1960s the Historical Society expanded its goal to collect and exhibit the works of Connecticut artists. The American Association of Museum accredited the museum in 1976, one of the 1st in the state to suit that standard.
