The New London Public Library was built in 1914 with funds from Philanthropist and industrialist Andrew Carnegie. The museum was constructed next to the library and opened in 1932. By 1986, the growth of the library's collection led to a major building project that linked the library and the museum buildings. The library expanded into the museum building, and the museum relocated to the lower level.
Over the decades the museum's collection has grown to include a wide variety of artifacts, documents, Native American objects, natural history items, minerals, rocks, shells and artifacts from various world cultures.
