Southbury Public Library Presents 'True Crime: Murder And Mayhem In The Museum'

Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

10/8/2025

On Tuesday, October 21, 2025 from 2:00-3:30pm in the Kingsley Room, join us to learn more about some true crime cases in Connecticut.

Forgeries, theft, murder: the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History is full of artifacts that tell stories of long-ago crime and punishment. This presentation uncovers stories from Connecticut’s past – and shows how our modern obsession with the true crime genre isn’t so modern after all.

This event will be presented by the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, a private, nonprofit organization established in 1825 as the state’s premier historical society, and cultural institution. Located in the historic West End of Hartford, the Museum houses exhibitions, a library, a research center, and a vast collection that includes more than 4 million manuscripts, graphics, objects, and artifacts.

Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this event is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library. Registration is required. Please visit the link below for more information and to register.
