Drake House Museum

About the Historical Society of Plainfield

Founded in 1921, the Historical Society of Plainfield emerged from a community effort to save the Nathaniel Drake House from demolition. This initiative led to the establishment of the Drake House Museum, a vital resource for preserving the rich history of Plainfield. Over the years, the society has curated an impressive collection of artifacts and furnishings from the Colonial and Victorian periods, reflecting the city's heritage.

Impact on the Community

Each year, thousands of visitors explore the museum, which offers educational programs for children in Plainfield and surrounding areas. The society has successfully completed phases I and II of a restoration strategy, bringing the Drake House back to its original grandeur.
