Lost In New Haven — Attraction in New Haven

We weren’t sure what to expect when a friend recommended Lost in New Haven, but we were completely blown away. My wife, our 11-year-old son, and I spent the afternoon there, and every one of us found plenty to love.

Our son was captivated by the real 1950s Atomic Energy Lab set, the model trains, the Silly Putty exhibit, and even a display on the history of lollipops. I was fascinated by the exhibit on Benedict Arnold’s house—also once home to Daniel Webster—and loved seeing the original layout of New Haven and how it’s changed over time. My wife really enjoyed the World War I recruitment posters and the incredible rock-and-roll memorabilia.

This was an amazing museum. It is astounding that one person is primarily responsible for amassing so many artifacts related to one small American city.

This is a very big museum in a renovated warehouse. So much stuff! Guided tours only. They do hold events. Show your support and take a tour. You...

I’ve visited on several occasions with my students, and I smiled as I observed the excitement and wonder in their eyes. It was delightful to watch as students tried to figure out the use of early technology and vintage household items.

I love Lost and I plan to visit again soon. Trust me, I think you’ll...
