The Stamford Museum & Nature Center is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of art, the natural and agricultural sciences, and history. The Museum is a vital cultural and educational resource for the community, and a focal point for family activity and interaction. We seek to inspire creativity, foster self-discovery, promote environmental stewardship, and nurture an appreciation for lifelong learning through exhibits, educational programs, and special events that enhance the visitor's experience of our unique site.
Organization Description
The Stamford Museum & Nature Center, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization, serves as a resource for Stamford families and those in surrounding communities. Our 118 acre grounds contain hiking trails and the “Wheels in the Woods” universally accessible trail, a working farm, galleries, a playground, picnic areas, organic garden, maple sugar house, planetarium, and an observatory. We offer educational programming both on- and off-site. The proceeds from SM&NC’s special events, such as family festival days and annual wine tasting, directly support our educational programs.
