An important part of Hamden Through Time is resident participation. Residents are invited to share photographs, documents, memories, stories, and other pieces of Hamden history; participate in the Then & Now photo project; share clothing, accessories, or photographs for the Fashion Through Time showcase; become one of the 240 Faces of Hamden; and even help us imagine what Hamden might look like 240 years from now.
