Telling our veterans' stories

The Stratford Veterans Museum's mission is to recognize those veterans from Stratford who have served our country honorably in war and in peace and to act as a repository for their stories. The museum is designed to accommodate schoolchildren to foster their appreciation of United States history and the sacrifices of those men and women who made our country possible. The major goal for the museum is to make it a site for school field trips. If you are a veteran who lives in or has lived in Stratford, or family of a Stratford veteran, and would like to share your story of service, or if you have items related to a Stratford veteran you would like to loan or donate, please email us. Here is our Registration Form

Take a Self-Guided Tour of the Museum

The Stratford Veterans Museum is dedicated to telling the stories of the town’s men and women who have served their country through the Armed Forces. Part of the way that story will be told is through a series of displays in the museum, including a “core” exhibit that takes visitors from the Revolutionary War through today’s conflicts. These exhibits will give the visitor a history of the era as well as items that are centric to Stratford. This tour will be available to visitors supporting audio and visual materials by downloading the Otocast app (available in the Apple and Google Play app stores).
