Grand Opening 2026 Exhibit Our Town Our Story

  • Nellie McKnight Museum 70 Main Street Ellington, CT 06029 United States (map)

Step back in time at the Nellie McKnight Museum!  We are thrilled to officially open our 2026 exhibit: "Our Town, Our Story: An Ellington Timeline."

Ellington is more than just a spot on the map—it’s a collection of generations, growth, and shared memories. From our deep agricultural roots to the bustling community we love today, this exhibit tracks the moments that defined us.

What to expect:
 A Visual Journey: Walk through a decade-by-decade history of Ellington.
 Rare Photos: See local landmarks and familiar faces from years gone by.
 Local Artifacts: Get up close with items that tell the story of our town’s evolution.

Whether you’ve lived here for fifty years or just moved in last week, there is something new to discover about the place we call home.

 When: Saturday April 25th 10am to 2pm
 Where: Nellie McKnight Museum, 70 Main Street
 Admission: Free!

Bring the family and come celebrate the heritage that makes us Ellington!
