Jan. 17, 2023

Fairfield Museum & History Center was recently awarded a generous CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant from CT Humanities (CTH). The CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant is instrumental in helping the Museum provide the community with quality events, programming, and engaging exhibitions.

The Fairfield Museum is one of 725 organizations in Connecticut to receive a CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant. Totaling more than $8.5M, these grants are part of a vital two-year, $30.7M investment in arts, humanities, and cultural nonprofits by the CT General Assembly and approved by Governor Ned Lamont.

The CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grants will assist the Fairfield Museum, along with other organizations statewide, as they continue to recover from the global pandemic and work to become more accessible and sustainable. Funds help connect K-12 teachers and students to strong humanities and arts content, and improve their information technology and digital infrastructure.

“Funding from the State of CT through CT Humanities and the Cultural Fund Operating Support program has provided vital support to the Fairfield Museum’s re-engagement with our community, allowing us to welcome thousands of families and students to our exhibits and educational programs” said Executive Director, Michael Jehle. The Fairfield Museum is located at 370 Beach Road, Fairfield, CT and is open every day from 10am to 4pm. For more information, visit www.fairfieldhistory.org.
