New England Civil War Museum

About

The only museum in Connecticut devoted to the fighting men of the Civil War. Open every Sunday, 12-3pm, except major holidays.

Story

“It is becoming apparent that as one after another of the old soldier is laid at rest, the room now occupied by the post in the Memorial building will be silent. The members of the post desiring to perpetuate the memory of its dead for all time believe that the rooms now occupied by them should be used as a place for relics which from time to time may be contributed by friends of the post. In this way a museum might be created which would be of interest to future generations.”-Rockville Civil War veterans of Burpee Post #71, February 1896

What an extremely wonderful experience! We came on father's day after a baseball game. If you get a chance to visit and love history, we encourage it. We will definitely be back to research a few names for civil war. Everyone was so friendly!

Very informative and very cool. Most of the items on display are original and have been given to the museum from descendents of the owner. Really comprehensive stuff. Everyone needs to check this place out.
I was there with my guys last year for checking out an really cool and an very interesting history museum in my entire hometown. We have an awesome selection of Civil War stuff includes rifles, badges, uniforms and other things like old photos of Rockville people who entered Civil War from the past. Mr. Reardon is an very smart, very nice, and an responsible guy whose known everything about Civil War stuff. New England Civil War Museum is an iconic history museum in Vernon-Rockville and it's an perfect spot for locals and travelers who might learned about Civil War History. I'm definitely going back there again with my guys very soon.
A hidden gem for history buffs! Check out their website for really interesting presentations! We attended the fall "haunted history" talk last year and learned about some local civil war soldiers, the museum's resident ghost! We just went to a talk about the making of the movie "Gettysburg", presented by actor Patrick Falci, who played Lieut. General A.P. Hill in the movie. Energetic and lively, highly informative and interesting "behind the scenes" of an epic movie by a consummate actor and Civil War historian! If you weren't there and you are a Civil War buff, you missed out on a fantastic evening! Check out their programs, and don't miss out again!!
Wonderful experience! We were given a great tour around and the gentleman was very knowledgeable on the artifacts and the history.
Who's really cool to see
