Danbury Museum and Historical Society

The Danbury Museum complex preserves the history of the April 1777 British raid and its aftermath. The museum campus includes the John and Mary Rider House (1785), built after the raid destroyed much of the town. Exhibits document the supply depot that made Danbury a target, the destruction of stores, David Wooster's death, and the town's reconstruction. The site anchors historical interpretation of the raid for the region.
