Avon Connecticut Avon History Museum - Avon Historical Society

Avon History Museum Located at 8 East Main Street (Rt 44, across from DiCapo's) is Now Open Year-Round, Sundays from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm! Stop By!

The fully renovated 1823 one-room schoolhouse, in the true and historic center of Avon, has been transformed into a modern museum. Schoolhouse No. 3 was originally built in the geographic center of Avon on Country Club Road, where the Avon Free Public Library stands today. For 115 years, from 1823 to 1938, students of West Avon were educated in this schoolhouse. To commemorate the Town of Avon’s oldest-owned building, the Avon Historical Society approached the Town several years ago with a long-range vision of establishing a modern museum in the footprint of the schoolhouse.
