We've launched 13 PODCASTS so far in our series entitled Avon talks. Avon Talks is a monthly podcast about Avon, CT's history, landmarks, and current events from the Avon Historical Society and Town of Avon. It is hosted by Ethan Guo, an Avon Resident and current undergraduate student at Tufts University. All can be seen at youtube.com/@AvonTalks

The Society offers remarkable presentations on a wide range of topics, providing an informal forum of professors and researchers, amateur historians, published authors, and local history enthusiasts to share their fascination with the history of our region. Do you have ideas for a story that is waiting to be told? Then please, share your ideas!

“Buy A Brick for The Avon History Museum” opportunity. Funds raised will pay for professionally curated exhibits inside the main floor that will showcase the Town’s history. We received an anonymous donation of $15,000 to jumpstart this fundraising drive, so we are well on our way to our goal for the exhibits. Memorialize a loved one, your family, an ancestor, your business or yourself!

In early 2019, a 12,500-year-old (10,000 BC) Paleoindian human occupation site was discovered six feet below ground on a deeply buried Pleistocene levee on the Farmington River in Avon, CT. It is the oldest-dated occupied site in Connecticut. Find out more about the ongoing research via the multi-year series of “Unearthing History" webinars.

If you would like to become more active in the Avon Historical Society there are many ways to become involved. Do you enjoy connecting with people? We are the group to join! We have need for help at public events (when resumed), researching and writing articles for publication, grounds and maintenance at the properties we maintain and other more.

We offer several levels of membership for our supporters at the individual, family, student, senior citizen and corporate levels. Annual memberships include quarterly newsletters and first notice of upcoming events. Outside monetary or donated items by companies or individuals are given free one year membership and mention on our Community Partners page.
