In Memory of Frank Hayden Frank Hayden dedicated six years of service to the Naugatuck Historical Society, sharing his time, talents, and quiet commitment to preserving the community's history. After retiring and seeking meaningful ways to give back, Frank found a natural fit with the Society, where his lifelong love of history and his desire to stay connected came together. As a Board member and an active volunteer, Frank contributed thoughtfully to the care of the museum and to the planning of exhibits and programs. His work on the Facilities Committee, including his careful photographic documentation of the Tuttle House, helped support the ongoing stewardship of the building. He also shared his love of model trains, generously contributing pieces from his personal collection to the Society’s 2024 Victorian Christmas display. Frank approached his volunteer work with humility, warmth, and a genuine love for the Society’s mission. His quiet manner and steady presence made him a valued colleague and a reassuring partner in the work of preserving Naugatuck’s stories. We are deeply grateful for the time Frank shared with us and for the care he brought to everything he did. His contributions, kindness, and dedication will be remembered with appreciation and respect. In keeping with the wishes shared by Frank’s family, those who would like to honor his memory may do so through a memorial gift to the Naugatuck Historical Society.
