As we prepare for America250 in 2026, we are reflecting on how Naugatuck celebrated the Bicentennial in 1976. We would love to hear your memories and stories from that time.

Whether you remember a local event, have a keepsake tucked away, or simply recall how the community marked the occasion, we invite you to share it with us. We are collecting photos, stories, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, and personal reflections from 1976.

Contributions can be shared digitally by email or message, or donated in person to the museum. Every memory helps us preserve and share this unique part of our town’s history.
