Bethel Museum - Open Sunday August 18th 2-4pm - FREE ADMISSION

On Sunday August 18th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm the Bethel Museum will open its 171 (and two month) year old doors, invite entrance to all seekers with naught but a smile paid, and allow refuge from the egress to the curious and magnificent on display therein.

The Museum, housed in the historic 1842 Second Meeting House at 40 Main Street in Bethel, is currently showcasing a number of vintage toys, the recent acquisition of an 1800's zinc gravestone and an amazing story to match, an array of old hatters' tools, the contents of the 84 Greenwood Time Capsule opened in April 2012, an homage to Bethel's great provocateur P.T. Barnum, and maybe much much more behind those secret doors...

So, trundle on over to Main Street, roll on up the hill and follow up the driveway the rotating array of rainbow-toned elephants past the remaining bars of the old town jail, and through the blue doors and run off into the place where the past, present and future all roll into one.  Remember, "History...without it you don't exist!"
