Darien Historical Society's Favorite Things Virtual Tour Becomes New Series!

The Darien Historical Society is offering virtual tours in a new series called “Our Favorite Things” which focuses on treasures at the Museum.

The tours are part of a Bring History Home project, a set of initiatives sparked by the current COVID-19 crisis to collect and share stories virtually, from yesterday and today.

“We received such a positive response from our first episode, so we decided to make the virtual tours a series,” said Executive Director Maggie McIntire.

The second Favorite Things episode focuses on two of the Society’s most treasured artifacts – the Scofield Inn tavern sign dated from the late 1700s, and two early 19^th century samplers.

“All of these local artifacts are like little educational windows to Darien’s past,” said McIntire. “For example, there’s a clue on the Inn sign that demonstrates this community’s unique experience during the Revolutionary War.”
