About this Event

Tours are Friday and Saturday at 10:30 am.

Tours originate at the Ives Birthplace Museum located at 5 Mountainville Avenue, and take roughly 60-75 minutes. Please note that during the winter, if the weather is snowy/inclement the Ives tours will be canceled for the safety of museum staff and visitors. If Danbury Public Schools have closed or are running on a delay, the Ives tours will be canceled.

"The music of Charles Ives, which on first acquaintance generally strikes listeners as willfully eccentric, grew from a 'long foreground' as Emerson said of Walt Whitman's equally eccentric Leaves of Grass. Ives well understood how insistently the past remained present in his work." --Jan Swafford, Charles Ives, A Life With Music.

Take a guided tour of the birthplace of Danbury's Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, Charles Edward Ives. Learn about the sights and sounds that influenced Ives, as well as the Danbury he would have known so well as a young man. The great impact of the Ives family on Danbury history is explored here as well.

We are most grateful for our generous benefactor, Ives Bank, for making the re-opening of the Ives Birthplace possible!
