Our newest exhibit 'Sudbury’s Changing Landscape (Phase 2)’ is open in the gallery. Phase 1 in the The Stansky and Eaton-Keeney Gallery starts with glaciers covering Sudbury and ends with the American Revolutionary War. This gallery picks up post-war and continues the narrative into today. Sudbury is home to many wonderful conservation lands and historic landscapes. Organizations like Sudbury Valley Trustees, Sudbury Conservation Commission, and Sustainable Sudbury are working hard to protect and preserve the natural countryside.
