Welcome to the Meriden Historical Society Website!

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Greetings!
We have lined up some exciting programs. Please mark your calendar:

  • The Andrews Homestead, 424 West Main Street, is one of the oldest homes in Meriden.  Chock full of items from Meriden’s past, it is open to the public every Sunday in May and October from 11am-3pm.  Young and old (and in-between) are welcome to stop in!  Scroll down to the bottom of this page to preview the Society’s collections housed at the Andrews Homestead. You’ll see Meriden in a whole new light!

  • March 13th 2012: Ghostly Photographs in the Andrews Homestead by Julie Griffin.
    Shadows across the Andrews Homestead’s rear entrance!

  • April 10th 2012: The History of X-rays presented by Dr Sherwin Borsuk.



  • Don’t forget our monthly Tag Sales at the Research Center, 1090 Hanover Street, South Meriden! October 8 is the last one for 2011, so come on down and support the Meriden Historical Society!
