Pioneers from Norwalk first settled Danbury in 1684 and the town’s Congregational Church was first organized in 1696.

The building, designed by the architectural firm of Howells & Stokes, was dedicated in 1909.

    I have a small bell that says on it “FIRST CONG. CHURCH DANBURY. 1858-1907.”

    This bell must have been made for the previous building.

    Would u like to have it?
