Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.

The museum is the 1806 Federal style home of Horatio Colony, descendent of one of Keene’s historic industrialist families. The old-time New England home is filled with original family furnishings and fabulous collections from around the world, which offer a gracious view of a vanishing lifestyle of culture, refinement and travel. The furnishings span from 18th through late 19th century, giving the house a warm, eclectic look of refinement and grace.




Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
