Collection Description:The
Mystic River Historical Society owns an ever-growing collection
of Mystic-related historical books, maps, photographs, and
other documents and artifacts contributed by the community.
We house these collections in the William A. Downes Archives
Building, erected by the Society specifically to provide a
safe environment for them. We maintain part-time archival
and curatorial staff available to assist researchers and to
continue the organization and cataloging of the collections.
Our volunteer curatorial staff welcomes your visit and/or
inquiry. We will be happy to help you in any way possible
with your Mystic area research, be it by phone, U.S. mail,
email, or in person.
In addition to the Downes Building, we own the Portersville Academy, partially
restored. This historical building serves as the Society's education and outreach
space. A schoolroom of the 1840's has been recreated upstairs, and historical
displays form a backdrop
