CHS Events

On January 19, 2026, the Hitchcock-Phillips House was one of the stops on the Children’s March and Bell-Ringing Ceremony co-sponsored by St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.

Board Member Chris D’Agostino and Town Historian Diane Calabro provided brief remarks. Board Member Will D’Agostino helped unfurl the banner listing Cheshire’s documented enslaved population while some of the children helped to “Say the Names,” before the group moved on to the steps of First Church.

December 14, 2025, was a picture-perfect winter day for “A Norman Rockwell Christmas” Party at the Hitchcock-Phillips House. Our visitors enjoyed and appreciated the exterior and interior decor provided by The Suburban Garden Club of Cheshire.

We temporarily moved a portion of our Ball & Socket display into the Meeting Room, so everyone could appreciate the Button Wreath!
