With More Than 500 Accordions On Display, This Small Town Museum In Connecticut Is A True Hidden Gem

There are plenty of great large, expansive museums in Connecticut that cover a variety of topics, or at least really broad topics. The Yale Center for British Art has more than 2,000 works of art spanning more than a century. Historic home museums like the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum typically cover specific time periods, but have a variety of items on display documenting what life was like in that era. Places like that are great, but there’s something special about going to a museum with more of a specific focus. Sometimes, these places may sound a little wacky to the uninitiated – there’s a whole museum devoted to what?! – but they’re often quite interesting! I’ve found in my travels that some of these museums are often more educational and fascinating than even larger, more renowned sites that cover a broader array of topics. One such museum with a hyper-specific focus is the New England Accordion Connection and Museum Company in Canaan, CT. This unique accordion museum in Connecticut is a great day trip.
