This year, the Suffield Historical Society has extended the King House Museum & Barn tour dates through October 11—giving you even more time to experience this local treasure. October’s crisp air and vibrant foliage make it the perfect season to step outside and explore.
During your visit, you’ll uncover stories from Suffield’s past and the legacy of the King House itself. Plus, don’t miss the Artists of Suffield exhibit, still on display and showcasing the creative spirit of our community. The King House Museum & Barn is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1 to 4 pm. Free admission.
October 2025 Events
Saturday, October 4 in the King House Museum from 1 to 3 p.m. Spinning Wheel Demonstration with Fiona Fine working on a modern-style spinning wheel 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Wednesday, October 8, at the Suffield Police Meeting Room at 7 p.m. Sara Zak will discuss the “Polish Declarations of Admiration and Friendship.” It is a collection of 111 volumes of signatures and greetings from over five million residents of Poland. The giant birthday card was presented to President Calvin Coolidge on July 4, 1926, the 150th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, a mere eight years after Poland regained their freedom from ruling empires. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, it is fitting to remember that liberation from an oppressive power is something that can be universally appreciated.
