The Dudley Farm Museum has an excellent collection of artifacts representing the
area’s indigenous people including stone tools and arrowheads. This area of
Connecticut was first populated between 10,000 and 7,000 B.C. and the Quinnipiacs
were estimated to number between 250 and 460 individuals at the time of contact
with Europeans. Anyone who has ever ploughed a field in the area has found
evidence of their living on this land.
Gordon Brainerd/Fox Running donated and curates this extensive collection of
Native items. An accomplished public historian, speaker and Native cultural
consultant, Fox-Running has provided decades of service to many educational
institutions.
