​How we Move
The Evolution of Transportation in Unionville

June 26th - September 25th 
​Weekends & Wednesdays 2-4 pm
This exciting exhibit tells the story of the impact of transportation on Unionville.  Starting with the use of horses and oxen the exhibit looks at how transportation innovations like the Farmington Canal, the trolley and the railroad spurred the growth and development of the village.  And how all of that ultimately became obsolete with the advent of the automobile. 

The exhibit also looks at the evolution of the unique devices and tools we use to experience the thrill of motion. From skates and sleds to bikes and scooters.  
 Progress on the Addition
On March 15th after several years of planning and fundraising, we broke ground on the much-needed addition to our historic building at 15 School Street, Unionville.  We are very excited that work has begun and is progressing well. It is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.

The addition will make our museum more accessible and allow us to expand our programs and events. The Museum Board is grateful to our many members and donors, businesses and civic organizations for their generous donations and commitment to our mission to preserve Unionville’s history and make it come alive for all.  We are also grateful to the Town of Farmington  for their ongoing support and partnership.
