Welcome to A.T.T.I.C. Antique Tools and Trades In Connecticut!
The purpose of ATTIC is to promote and increase knowledge and understanding of the tools of trades, agriculture, household economy and other pursuits and means of livelihood practiced by our American ancestors.
Members gather for at least two meetings a year (Spring and Fall) in Connecticut or surrounding states to swap tools, inspect historical/trade sites and watch demonstrations of various trades.
Toolchest, our newsletter, is published twice a year.
Please pardon our dust while we create this new website.
Check back often as we will be adding new information regularly.

We had a beautiful sunny day for our Fall meeting in Simsbury. The Simsbury Historical Society was our host, and many thanks to Joe Buda, Dennis Fallon, and Kevin Gray for giving us a tour of their impressive collection of historic buildings and exhibits. I'll let the photos speak for themselves, and a big thank you to Jeff Burks, tireless researcher and documenter of all things to do with old tools and traditional methods, for providing the photos.
