The other half must be raised each year in contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations and community organizations. We ask you to join in partnership with The Society by becoming a member, by volunteering your time and talent, by actively participating in programs, and by offering your financial support to assure that this first century of achievement will provide the foundation in history, culture and tradition for the people of Stamford in the next century. The Stamford Historical Society is a private, non-profit organization serving the people of Stamford since 1901.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
The growth and development of this one exceptional city illustrates in many ways the development of every American city, perhaps every world city. It is not only monumental happenings that hold meaning, for the small details of daily living add up to vast transformations. Since 1901, The Society has actively captured, preserved, and made available for public study and enjoyment the identity of this community. Each year visitors come from around the corner and from far-away lands. They range from very young to very old.
