Grand Opening October 2007

We'd like to thank everyone who made our grand opening in October a huge success. From all of our volunteers who worked so hard to get the museum open, to those who helped set up the food and staffed the entrance and worked with tickets, to the over 85 people who attended the Friday night gala and over 130 people who came to our first day open to the public, it was a tremendous success. A special thanks goes out to Buckley Broadcasting for letting Brad Davis come and do a remote broadcast from our building. It was a thrill to have one of Connecticut's broadcast legends help kick off the special day.

Here are some photos from that weekend!
