​Celebrating 40 years - 1984-2024
The Museum board is busy finalizing plans plans for celebrating our 40 year anniversary. We are planning:​
  • A 40th anniversary exhibit focusing on some of the seldom seen artifacts in our collection and the stories they tell will open on Sunday, September 8th with an Opening Reception from 2-4 pm. It will be open Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 2-4 pm and will close on Sunday November 3rd.
  • We will be holding a 40th anniversary party on Friday October 18th.  This event is a fundraiser. Once all details are finalized they will be posted here. Tickets will be able to be purchased through the Museum Store. 
  • We are in the process of planning some programs to hold during the time our exhibit is open. We will post the details of those events here as soon as they are final. 
The Museum opened its doors in 1984. The founders' envisioned a living museum where people who love Unionville would come together to celebrate its history.  A history of all the people of Unionville not just prominent manufacturers like Upson and Hart but mill workers too.  And not just those who worked here but those who lived here and raised their families here.

The idea was not to house a permanent exhibit at the museum but to hold ever changing exhibits based on themes from Unionville’s history. Themes like the early paper industry and metal manufacturing that flourished here. And the significant textile industry that began with early woolen mills and continued through several knitting mills and the Charles House felt factory.

​We've been happy to share Unionville's history for the past forty years and are looking forward to continuing to do that for years to come.
