***This is What's Happening at the Museum***
How it started... how it's going.
As work continues on the Demers Collection, last week we were able to add a missing piece this Portuguese faience plate (made between 1660-1690) to make it complete again for the first time in more than 300 years!
This Portuguese faience plate from the Demers Collection dates to ca. 1660-1700. Its decoration, featuring a crane and a rim decorated with clusters of beads, imitates Chinese porcelain.

Historic Village ​Walking Tours of New Castle – Summer 2023
The 1-mile tour features the early history of New Castle, settled in 1623. See the sites of the original taverns and inns, the village shops, fish-drying locations and the little-known first act of the Revolutionary War. Tours start at the village gazebo, next to the New Castle Congregational Church. The church is part of the tour. The tour, which goes at a nice slow pace, ends at the historical museum which you are free to peruse at your leisure.
