Exciting News - Unionville is a designated cultural district!
​The State of Connecticut has approved the designation of our village as the Unionville Cultural District. The announcement was made by Lieutenant Governor Bysiewicz and the state's Department of Economic and Community Development 's Office of the Arts on February 21st.  Farmington was also designated as a Cultural District.

The State believes that cultural district designations helps to:
  • Market arts and culture attractions to visitors.
  • Promote and encourage artists, entrepreneurs, and creative businesses
  • Promote tourism and increase visits.
  • Strengthen the distinctive character of communities highlighting their culture and history.
  • Drive economic growth and expand the tax base.
  • Contribute to Connecticut’s cultural assets.​​

Liz Shapiro, DECD's Director of Arts, Preservations and Museums, in her press release on the designation said, ​“Visitors to the Unionville district will gain insight into the development of industry, from the location of waterwheels, to train stations to late 19th and early 20th Century factories.” The Museum looks forward to the exciting changes that this designation will bring.


Coming up in 2025
In addition to the next exhibit mentioned above, our plans for the rest of the year include
  • An exhibit featuring Unionville's taverns and bars through the years opening in May.
  • An exhibit marking the 70th anniversary of the Flood of '55 scheduled to open in August.
  • A holiday exhibit from November 8th to December 31st that kicks off with a gift sale at the beginning of the month.
